Pregnancy reveal turned into tears

Has anyone experienced unkind remarks when announcing your pregnancy? Just revealed mine and was told "you don't look pregnant, you just look fat". Woah. I nodded and laughed it off then, but I later laid in bed and cried. (Might have been a little extra emotional with all the hormones going on.) I accept that weight gain is normal during a pregnancy but still, hearing such unkind and unnecessary comment still hurts and affects to some extent. I guess not everyone simply congratulate the pregnant couple? Sigh.

Been there and sadly I ended in a miscarriage cos I was too affected with the unkind remarks made by my sil. I then started avoiding my in laws cos my mental health is priority and at the same time, I was also grieving. Found out I'm pregnant again after a yr and this time i made sure my husband does not reveal anything too early. Since i avoided them from cb till phase 2, they've been asking about me so my husband had no choice but to tell. I was almost 16 wks pregnant when they got to know. My PILs only saw me once when I was already 26 wks pregnant while the rest of the family have not seen me since. I feel way much better this way.
