I had much the same experience with my pregnancy. I remember my coworker took great delight in pointing out to others how large I was getting. Like I needed reminding as I huffed and puffed my way through the hot summer. And this was a woman who had three children of her own. Surely she should have been sensitive enough to recall her own pregnancies?!! No one ever tried to touch me, though. I guess my habitual scowling face frightened them off. Once the baby was born, I was astounded at the freedom with which people used to ask me if I were breast feeding. And then give me a lecture on how beneficial this was!!! One diatribe came from a woman who was still nursing her 4-year-old! And they were preaching to the choir because I did nurse my son. I can't imagine what would have happened had I been using formula. Note to self for next baby: Tell everyone I am nursing even if it's a lie. So funny.
