So how far along do people think you are?

I am due in 10 weeks...likely to deliver in 8-9. This guy walks in our office today from one of our other locations and says "congrats!" I say thanks. then he says: "You're only in your first trimester right?" I said, "no, I'm actually almost done. I'm due June 8th." then i stood up.

he felt kind of dumb once i stood up, but really it just made me feel like less of a beached whale! man, if this had been me at 3 months---->

He obviously doesn't realize it, but he made my day.

I thought I was doing pretty good until today when I got by hair cut, and I literally had to pick the jaws up of my hairdresser and his assisant off the floor. They hadn't seen in me in a little over 3 months and by their reactions, they thought the baby was going to coming out right then and there!

Re: So how far along do people think you are?

I think people dont realize what they are saying sometimes. I'm carrying kinda small- and people think I'm only 3 months- and still in my first trimester- but I'm in my 5th month and in my 2nd.......


And I called today to make an appointment for a pregnancy massage, and the lady who answered the phone asked me how far along I would be at the massage- and I said that I would be 22 weeks- and she asked if that was still in the first trimester. I think people just dont realize!

Re: So how far along do people think you are?

People seem to think that I am in the late 20's, when I say 35 weeks they act like I am making it up

Re: So how far along do people think you are?

I am about 18.5 weeks. I look alot further along than that, most people look at me like I am crazy when I say that I have 5 more months to go.

Re: So how far along do people think you are?

I still have people think I'm months away - I'm like - no - I'm due on Tuesday!!!

Re: So how far along do people think you are?

My neighbor hadnt seen me in a while and thought I was 6 months along - I'm 8 and a half months.

But today at work this completely obnoxious guy said "you look really big - are you due today?"

But he's a jerk and knows how to strike a nerve.

Re: So how far along do people think you are?

I think whether you carry small or big, people make the most inappropriate comments regardless.

Another PG woman very carrying very small in my office so now I am being told I am SOOOO huge. Geez she had a baby boy who weighted 6.4 Lbs. Of course she was not going to have a 10 Lbs baby.

I am having a #@$% baby and I am all belly. Leave me alone!!!! I don't stuff my face and I only gained 14 Lbs at 27 wks. I don't think it's bad at all.

Thankfully, a few older ladies told me that I looked right on target. I love the older ladies in my office. They are so sweet.

Re: So how far along do people think you are?

people don't think i am due as soon as i am - they think i still have 3 months left... i am due in less than 4 weeks.

Re: So how far along do people think you are?

snuggle you are SO lucky i feel like a BEAST today - i'm 11 weeks 2 days and i've gained 5lbs i'm trying to console myself and tell myself its only because i ate an extra large amount yesterday at my mom's but ugh

Re: So how far along do people think you are?

I think I tend to carry big, but the best comment I got was when I was carrying the twins. At 28 wks a women in the deli said "WOO, when WERE you due?" I said.."haha in 12 weeks!!"

Re: So how far along do people think you are?

I am 25 weeks, my hairdresser last week asked me if i was sure i was going to make it to July. I guess I look bigger than 25 weeks.

I really don't mind people comments, honestly, they are usually too busy paying attention to DD then me. I love the diversion!

I gained 5 in the first trimester as well. last week i had gained 3 in a week!!! It's all relative, but I felt like a pig for it. Don't let it get to you...most of the weight you gain will be baby/water/blood/placenta.

Re: So how far along do people think you are?

I am 26 weeks and some people are just starting to notice. But most noticed around like 15 weeks and up. Certain jackets that I wear make me look smaller.

Re: So how far along do people think you are?

I would take it as a compliment and Im glad you did as well...Im 13 weeks and not showing at all. I told some of my co-workers and all I got was compliments as well...no weight gain, no facial change...if anything my skin cleared up. Don't get me wrong, my regular pants are not closing anymore, I have to use a safety pin, but I'll try to stick it out until I pop...which according to my doctor will be around 18 or 19 weeks.

Re: So how far along do people think you are?

now they know but I heard people commenting that I was looking "chubby" before I told them. Gee thanks.

Re: So how far along do people think you are?

I went into Mimi yesterday and the girl thought I was 8 months pregnant when Im only 26 weeks... I was not happy to hear that
It's funny tho, because she is 2 months pregnant and she already has a tummy..

Don't let it get to you, 5lbs is nothing

I gained 11-12 lbs in the 1st trimester both pg's and i didn't even eat crap!

It all comes off!

Re: So how far along do people think you are?

Sitting I am ok, but the second I stand people are like..WOW you are really PG. I am mostly belly so it sticks out.....a lot.
