Do feel self-conscious about food?
I was just in line at the lobby snack shop (buying a snickers) and my old manager came in. He looked at my belly, said "congratulations" and then looked at what I was buying. Same thing happened one morning in the cafeteria when I was buying breakfast and I ran into an old co-worker.
I hate that! I know it is probably just in my mind, but I feel like once you are pregnant everyone judges what you eat. If I was not pregnant I would not think twice about it  I just want to enjoy my food/snacks guilt free

I feel you and I learned someone always has something to say. I ignore it. As someone who tends to be strict not pregnant, I am enjoying it now.

Nope, not at all. There is plenty of time for that after the baby comes and I still look 5 months pregnant.

Re: Do feel self-conscious about food?
I think its soooo annoying and so rude! People at work did that to me too! "Oh I dont think those Doritos are good for the baby." I feel like saying I dont think that cake is good for your ***! And then people think everything is a craving! They laugh and say ohhh the baby is craving a bagel today?? I'm like no its just a normal breakfast. I just hate when people say annoying things for no reason! Especially with my hormones now! I couldnt blow up on people kinda easily if I let myself!

Try not to let it get to you. I've been eating sushi (eel rolls which are cooked and are ok to eat during pregnancy) and when I mentioned it to a coworker, she completely flipped out on me about it.

someone made a comment to me the other day when they saw me getting my morning coffee. People need to keep their opinions to themselves!!!

Re: Do feel self-conscious about food?
i do but only when it comes to "things pregnant women should eat  " ie. sushi, cold cuts, coffee etc. I consume all of the above (in moderation, moderate moderation ) and I hate the looks I get from some people. Screw it, ill eat what I want and I will enjoy it 
(I am a pro at staring back  )
