3rd Trimester girls...have you noticed the "look" change?
About a month or two ago, everywhere I went people looked lovingly at my belly.
Gentle smiles and knowing glances. The world was happy to see me walking around with my little belly.
Like this: 
Flash forward to now...and I'm starting to see a very different reaction from people.
Kind of a panicked, pitying stare.
It's a mixture between "Oh, that poor thing" and "My god, I hope she doesn't have that thing here!"
Like this: 
Anyone else seeing the change??

Definitely! Yesterday, I went to the grocery store and I got "OMG you poor thing" look. When the cashier asked me when I was due, I said yesterday. She couldn't believe I was up and about.

OMG yes!!!! Over the weekend, I went to Target, the bagel store, the grocery store, and the car wash and at every place I got this look almost like, "I can't believe she's out travelling alone."

Re: 3rd Trimester girls...have you noticed the "look" change?
I used to think I looked much younger than I am (I'm 33) and in the beginning I got the "that girl got herself into trouble" look - and then they'd look for a wedding ring.
It's been a while since I dyed my hair so I have some grey hairs showing and maybe my face has changed somewhat maybe I look my age now- cause now I get the "oh she's pregnant, that's nice" face. . . yet they're still not getting up to offer me their seat on the subway!

I get the same thing!
And then when people ask me when I am due they look at me like I have 5 heads when I give them my due date.

 I was so swollen at the end of my pregnancy that I got pure looks of horror like OMG is she going to topple over or collapse?!

I don't get out much these days as I am working from home but I get the I can't beleive you are delivering in 5 weeks since I am not that big.
Now when I see my boss you would think I was giving birth any second. I think I scare him. he prefers when I don't come to the office

The lady at the post office decided I was in pain today when I reached for my belly...I wanted to shoot her. Hormones. She deduced this b/c I wasn't smiling...I had a whole speech in my head, I refrained.

That's too funny! Today some of the ladies I work with noticed I've stopped walking and now waddle instead. They make jokes about my not making it to my due date. I have 12 more weeks!

I get quacked at occasionally. I work in construction so really it doesn't shock or bother me...but it's stupid. I am able to laugh it off completely! I have been waddling for quite some time now...before it was more for ease, now it's to be in less "pain."

I had to find this again, because someone JUST said to me -
"Oh...looks like you are entering the ducky stage."
I was like "huh?"
And she said "You know - QUACK QUACK WADDLE WADDLE."
I just looked at her and she says...
"I mean it in a good way."

Re: 3rd Trimester girls...have you noticed the "look" change?
I got something today from an "aquaintence". She was like "you haven't had your baby yet?" I was like "No... june" and she made a comment like "oh boy... more to go??"
1st I felt like telling her that I actually LOVE being pregnant and I'm actually quite upset that I only have 2 months to go.
Then, I felt like ripping into her and her VERY not so perfect life and tell her just what I thought of her!
