Is it normal to despise people who degrade pregnant women?

I'm 8 months pregnant, and it really sucks. No, not because of the physical changes but because of the consistent judgmental backlash from society upon pregnant ladies. It's oppressive. Women who are carrying a baby are facing the biggest change of their lives, which carries stressful feeling of anxiety, frustration, sadness, excitement and a new set of responsibility. The last thing us ladies who are taking on this impeccable amount of growing up need are some punk asshole anti-breeders ranting about how we're bitches, smug, whiny, and emotional. The simple fact someone would even state their hatred for pregnant ladies and babies is kind of like the pot calling the kettle black. I'd like to see them carry 35 extra pounds on their abdomen and how they like it when someone throws exaggerated stereotypes of misused contraceptives and slut shaming at them. It's hard, especially when you're married and have a future and want the proverbial family life. I find these ranters hilarious because only a hateful person would pick on someone as vulnerable as an extremely pregnant women to make them feel better about themselves. Hey, to each their own. I know I'll sleep better next to my husband with our puppy by our bed, baby sleeping peacefully in the adjacent room then some toothless immature naive woman hater who probably lives in a cornfield and is too insecure to come out of the closet. That, or their some scene bitch who thinks falling pregnant is complacent with the corporate agenda. When really, in both regards, spewing hate to look cool is exactly what their accusing the pregnant ladies of: falling for what's trending and being a selfish narrow minded bitch. At least were repopulating the planet in the process.

    "At least we're repopulating the planet in the process"...You do? I had no idea the human race was becoming extinct, last time I checked there were 6 billion people here, too much for this planet as it stands.
    As for your rant....you're pregnant like millions of women were before you and after you, it's not a miracle, even animals can do it, don't expect people to bend over backwards to tend to your needs..you're not a goddess for getting yourself preggo and nobody should worship you. Suck it up. Nobody hold a gun to your head.

    I agree that nobody should go around giving hate to pregnant ladies, but just don't say that populating the planet is a good thing, we have enough over-population as it is. I accept that loving parents like yourself are not the ones doing the damage, it is people without the education or incentive to not have kids, but to say that adding to the numbers is always a good thing is untrue.

    So, when you posted that "repopulating the planet" stuff, it did feel a little smug to me. Sorry!

    I've always loved pregnant women and I can't understand why anyone wouldn't. They're so beautiful and cute! Pregnancy is a time to be celebrated by all. Don't you ever let the haters tell you otherwise. :)

    Hating pregnant women for eating or being fat is one thing. However, in MY experience, the one and only pregnant person I have known initially became pregnant for the attention and presents (it's *very* apparent).
    It's when a couple decide it's time to have a child for reasons of vanity, "fixing" their relationship or even for a luxury that REALLY pisses me off. Why bother to sit there and take the credit and attention of being a 'mother' if your motives in themselves are selfish and malicious?
    My point being, pregnancy is NO joke. So don't get knocked up and exploit the idea of "the sanctity of life" if you have no intentions of caring about your diet or your child but rather care more about the attention and vacations.
    For example, I was at a birthday dinner, where my boyfriend and I wrapped up and finished the last semester of college for the year and we were proud, getting mostly A's and few B's. However, the fact that it was someone else's day was beyond the realm of a pregnant woman. She began bombarding conversations to twist them about herself and was angry when the focus was not on her. We ended up completely alienated from the family as a result of her passion to keep the attention on her and our refusal to do so. The actual birthday came around the next day and instead of spending time with the person who's birthday it was, they took his pregnant sister on a yacht trip to an island.
    People have their own personal achievements is where I'm getting at. I understand you're having a child and you're excited but maybe not everyone cares as much as you do. Please respect the fact that your constant self absorbed verbal spillage can be offensive and that sometimes, believe it or not, it's not all about YOU.

    I don't know whose been saying hateful things to you. But stop for just a minute and look at it from my perspective. First of all, I've never had hatred for pregnant women. My beautiful mother was once pregnant. BUT she never bragged about it, she never rubbed it in people's faces, and she never annoyed people talking about what an amazing child she had and how she can't BELIEVE anyone wouldn't want a child. My mother just enjoyed being a mother and wife. And if I've said it once I've said it a million times: "People who have geniune joy in their own lives, stay out of other people's lives!" What I hate is the judgmental crap I get for choosing to be single and childfree. Why? Because I would rather live alone and have no children than to have a loveless marriage to a male who makes me feel like sh*t everyday and to bring a child into that catastrophy?! No way! The bottom line is there are those of us who have had our share of bad times when it comes to trying to cultivate relationships so we'd rather find joy within than continuously looking for it without. What annoys me about pregnant women is the way SOME of them attempt to rub not only their bellies but their pregnancy in my face as if the ability to breed makes them more of a woman. My vagina makes me a woman...period. I don't need to breed to feel womanly. And let's face it, when the "newness" of your newborn wears off, all the oohing and aaahing that goes on will wear off too. If what I'm saying doesn't apply to you...chill out! But if it does, GET OFF MY BACK ABOUT BEING CHILDFREE AND I'LL GET OFF YOURS ABOUT BREEDING!

    I think you've bumped into some really stupid people. I pretty much always agree with squirrelgirl and this time is no exception. I think pregnant women look great. And there's a baby in there! A new life. How astonishing is that?

    Don't listen to anyone's hate. How do they think they arrived on the planet? Same way as your child will. By someone being pregnant.

    I don't know who's commenting on you, but if it's 'friends' I'd change them. However, they may be joking and you are hormonal and taking their comments to heart as if they hate your child. I'm sure they don't!

    Good luck with your baby and I hope he/she sleeps through the night for you.
