Feeling hurtful by friend’s comment

Hello mommies, I don’t know if anyone of you have experienced this before, but I was actually hurt by my close friend’s comment yesterday. We were out and through the conversation, she actually said my pregnancy actually looks easy and it’s not as bad as it is. I feel hurt because she don’t even know how I have actually suffered (and still suffering) behind closed door. I have been feeling nauseous, bloated, gassy and could barely eat a proper meal the whole day but I tried to put a strong front when I’m with others so I would not be a burden. She knows what I have been going through because I have been sharing with her about my symptoms almost daily and yet she made this unnecessary comment when she has not been pregnant before. I do not expect her to understand how I feel 100% but I just feel she should not say this. I even cried when I am alone because I feel hurt. Am I being too sensitive? Or is it okay for people to say this? What do you do to heal yourself over such things? 😔 #firsttimemom #advicepls - EDIT: Thank you every mommies for the responses! I truly appreciate it a lot 🥹💕

Sometimes they don't mean to hurt u, it's just that they are not aware of the challenges as they have not experienced it. Or perhaps the people around them really did have an easier pregnancy. My pregnancy sucked this year. Was bedridden most of the time and felt really horrible. But I didn't really share much with friends or on social media. So they don't know. I think it's OK to share with your close friends briefly on the struggles and hope they understand. If they don't, it's also fine, hopefully ur husband or family members can support you. If not, the mummies support in such platform can help too. Cheer up and stay positive.
