Body shaming during postpartum

Rant

Why people have to comment on other people s physique.

After birth we already feel vulnerable and its hard to accept new body image on its own.

I have gained like 30 kg and alot of strech marks

I know it will be a long journey ahead to get my body back

41 days pp we were invited for lunch by my cousin. I didn’t wanted to go but agreed for same change in scenery.
We went I rang the doorbell her husband opened the door

He said Hi how are you I am said I am good

Next thing comes out of his mind is oo you have gained weight

I said off-course I just delivered a human

We laughed

We went inside sit on soffa my cousin held my hand and she said ooo your arms and hands have gotten quite heavy

My husband got defensive and changed the topic

It made me so mad that it ruined my day

Why people are so stupid

I know i have gained weight you dont have to tell me and its least of my worries right now
