AITA: Am I too sensitive or are they crazy? Things people have said to me while pregnant.

AITA. My husband thinks I’m being too sensitive and I sometimes feel like maybe I am. I’m just so offended by some of the things people have to said to me while pregnant. As a bit of a background, I’m currently in my third trimester. Not the first pregnancy, but the furthest along. I had a miscarriage 2 years ago. And then with this pregnancy - it was a twin pregnancy, but miscarried one before 12 weeks. The second twin is going well so far! Fingers crossed! However it’s been absolutely wild about some of the things people have said to me. And I want to know if I should let it go (and how?) or if it’s something I can genuinely be mad about. 

  1. Why didn’t you ask the doctor why you miscarried. Once you’re pregnant you’re pregnant. You should do some tests.
  2. Yes I’ve seen many miscarriages back in my day, women with bloody foetuses. (This is from the same woman as #1)
  3. Oh I’m so sorry you had a miscarriage. I’ve had 2 abortions so I know how you feel. 
  4. You’re looking fat today.
  5. Are you well? Oh good. How much weight have you gained?
  6. (This is from my MIL who knows our full background. Has not congratulated us at any point. Has not asked how we're doing/feeling. Just busy telling everyone who will listen she's going to be a grandma. Mind you, I have minimal contact with her so the first time I saw her since being pregnant was in the 2nd Trimester, and all she said was this) Hi, I only have one thing to say. When I had my child, I had the best and easiest pregnancy and delivery. It was so easy. Easiest thing in the world.
