Chunkiness

I sometimes wonder what people have against a ballooning weight, especially when you're pregnant.
Gaining weight is part and parcel of pregnancy.
You're supposed to gain the extra 12-15kgs (although some women put on more, and I reckon I'd be one of them :p).

When people stare at me in disbelief, with a gaping mouth and wide eyes and exclaim:

"Really? You're pregnant?"

All I want to say is, "No. No. I'm just fat" with dripping sarcasm and a bored expression.

And for those who miss the growing belly and say with smugness (no doubt trying to triumphantly point out that he/she is slightly less chunkier than I am) :
"Wah. You've put on weight? Besar ek sekarang?!"
All I want to say is,
"Yes. I have. Because I'm pregnant. What's your excuse?"

Loving every bit of my chunkiness,
Anis.
