Saab Magalona reacts to being called chubby

Mommy-to-be Saab Magalona made a post on Instagram about a comment made regarding her weight. According to Saab, someone called her chubby. Here’s what Saab had to say:

”Yesterday somebody greeted me with ‘Ay, naging chubby ka na!’ and it took so much for me not to snap at her. Calmed down and after 5 mins I told her, ‘You know, you really shouldn’t tell people — especially pregnant women — that they’ve gotten fat. It’s very mean.’ I explained to her that we have no choice but to gain weight (recommended 35-45lbs for twin moms like me) for the safety of our babies and we’re already feeling self-conscious about it.

“I’m glad I controlled myself even with the hormones because I trust that most people don’t intend to be mean. They’re just pretty dense and that’s their version of chikahan or bonding.

“She apologized profusely and even sent me a text message hours later thanking me for educating her about being more sensitive. I hope God can give me more patience not to bite people’s heads off hehe.”

Saab revealed she’s pregnant last September and is expecting twins, a boy and a girl with husband Jim Bacarro. Looking chubby may be the very least of Saab’s pregnancy concern since becoming a new mama is definitely one big milestone and challenge.
