Fehlinger says she’s been called a “sausage in casing” and told that “sticking [her] pregnant abdomen out like that is disgusting”.
She told Yahoo! Parenting that she bore most of the comments in silence, but at being told she looked “disgusting” a switch flipped.
She penned a long Facebook post in response, writing: ”Everyone’s right to their opinion is important, but so are manners.”
