While I can't speak from experience, I would imagine having a baby can't be easy.
Not only are you making the conscious decision to bring new life into a harsh and unforgiving world, but you're putting yourself through hell to get there. There's morning sickness, joint pain and weird food cravings among other things, and even when it's all over, you still have to push a human being out of your birth canal, often at great personal pain.
If you're struggling for a New Year's Resolution as 2018 looms large on the horizon, there are a lot worse ideas than deciding to be nicer to pregnant women in the future. They've got it tough enough as it is. Which makes the internet backlash directed at the pregnant
recently all the more curious.

Of course, one of the greatest challenges post-pregnancy is finding a way to shed all the weight you gain while eating and living for two, all while taking care of your extremely adorable and extremely helpless bundle of joy. Since announcing her pregnancy last week, Khloé Kardashian has been the talk of social media, but since posting her intense workout regime on Snapchat a couple of days prior, it hasn't all been positive.
The 33-year-old posted photos of herself using a step machine, some weights and a resistance band on Snapchat, and expressed her delight at doing so, saying: "I love that I can finally snap my workouts again … but Merry Christmas Eve and more workouts to come."
That's all well and good, but online, people have been criticising her heavily for doing so. Finding absolutely no time for online shade during her term, Kardashian took to Twitter with a link to an article from the website Fit Pregnancy, decidedly shutting down her critics.

"For the ones who think they are physicians all of a sudden," Khloé Kardashian tweeted to her 25.5 million followers yesterday, hinting that if the criticism refused to stop, he'd be forced to stop sharing things online. "MY doctor and I communicate and my workouts are cleared and highly recommended,” the reality star went on to say. “Thanks kiddos! Don’t make me stop sharing s***."
Now that the cat's out of the bag concerning Khloé's upcoming baby shower, she's taking full opportunity to update her fans on her life, posting a couple more photos of her newly discovered-bump, and wishing all of her fans a very happy holiday.
"Merry Christmas!! May you sparkle and shine this festive season, may all of your wishes and dreams come true. I pray that we all may feel this happiness all year round. God bless you!"

One of three members of the Kardashian clan who's expected to welcome a child into their life come the new year, Khloé Kardashian is understandably delighted, and also clearly very eager to avoid negativity as the birth of her first child comes ever closer. After this quick clap-back on Twitter, maybe her fans will be less inclined to criticise her every decision as she carries her baby to term.
