Kristi Gordon, chief meteorologist at Global BC News in Canada shared the wonderful news that she was pregnant with viewers of the show when she first found out a while back.
She also asked that they be nice to her about the clothing that she wears, as last time she was pregnant a few viewers were less than pleasant when it came to criticising her maternity wear. While that seems like a reasonable request (and one that frankly, she shouldn't have to make), a number of viewers still didn't comply.
In fact, it was worse than last time, as Gordon stated that her plea actually made the situation worse and she ended up getting even more abuse than the first time she was pregnant. However, this time she decided to read the letters out on air, and they are incredibly offensive.
Thankfully, her reading out the comments has also meant that there's been plenty of support for her too, with the hashtag #KushionsForKristi trending as other pregnant women tweet images of their bodies and their clothes, to show that there is nothing to be ashamed of.

Even those who aren't pregnant got in on the act by putting some cushions up their shirts.
