i work in a betting shop i have worked for the same company for 8 yrs and have never had any issues with anyone i have worked with, so basicly in a betting shop you have a shop manager a deputy manager and u should also have a managers assistant (which is basicly a cashier) so i transfered to the shop im in coming up 2 a yr ago im a deputy manager so i run the shop most of the time anyway there is a girl who work in my shop i will call her x to make it easier. x is part time well she does 28hr a week so is classed as part time when i first started working there everyone warned me about her saying that she was a bitch etc and i did agree with them but i could put up with her anyway when i found out i was pg i told the ppl i work with all the time i did tell her but i told her last as i didnt really wanna tell her but i did because i knew she would find out from someone else. she seem happy 4 me etc anyway i worked with her when i must of been about 17 weeks gone and from the moment i got there she was pushing her opinons on me and saying to me "what are u gonna do when ur 8 months pg and u cant get up the stairs anymore because ur too fat" she also said to me that i shouldnt be having this baby beacause im too fat and she also said im surprised ur even concieved!!!!!!!!! i was in shock to say the least and i did try to fight back saying to here that she shouldnt even try to get pg as she is too selfish (as she was saying when she is pg she wouldnt let herself get above a size 14) i dont think she paid much attention to anything i said to her anyway she was on a roll and she didnt shut up all day putting me down constantly so in the end i just blanked her. so after all this i called the area manager and told him that i will not work with her again i think this is reasonable and since then i havent im now 23 + 1 pg but they have rota'd me in to work with her tomorrow im calling in sick as im so angry they r making me work with her again i have asked 4 a transfer but still waiting i dont think i will get 1 what does every1 think about this??????????????????????????

I am in size 12 maternity trousers but in normal clothes...god...I have some size 18 tops and even they don't cover the bump properly!
She sounds totally ridiculous & jealous, I would just try and ignore her as much as possible if I were you and make sure you're not rota'd to work with her again!

It is just jealousy, I remember reading in a magazine that peoples reactions to your news won't always be positive due to their own personnal issues. What a pity that she is so sad that she has to hurt you to try and make herself feel better.
Have you told her how hurtful her remarks are?
I hope it gets better for you.
they just think they can push their opinions on pregnant peole all the time!
yesterday i was sat at my desk eating some cake and one of the women said "oh you dont want to be eating those kind of things you will get really fat and never shift the baby weight" this is the 2nd time someone has said this to me the 1st i was in shock but this time round i was prepared so i just turned round and said
"listen love....im not smoking or drinking my only comfort is food now even if i cant shift the baby weight i will still look better than you"
i was really shaking after and had to walk out the office but these people need telling, we just let them say what they want and get away with it and im sick of being a verbal punchbag.
i did get an email off her saying sorry so sometimes it helps to say something back.
This woman at your work has serious issues just remember your better than her and dont lose any money over her, i would walk into work and hold your head high and have a great day at work (if thats possible) that will annoy her more
