Why do people feel the need . . .
to comment on the size of my bump. Whether I look smaller, bigger, huge it never fails they need to comment.
Over the weekend people were like oh my you're getting bigger . . . well yes the last time you saw me I was 4 months along and now I'm at 27 weeks .. . what do you expect??
Sorry, vent over

Re: Why do people feel the need . . .
I know what you mean. I hate that people generally need to talk about my pregnancy every single time they see me. At work - it is all anyone will talk about, "Oh you're getting big." "You're so small for how far along you are" "Any day now.." I am more than just pregnant, we can talk about other things, ya know!?!

Re: Why do people feel the need . . .
yes its annoying... at 25 weeks someone told me i was carrying small, and last week someone asked me "are you sure you're not having twins?" people just don't know when to keep their comments to themselves!

Re: Why do people feel the need . . .
I know!!!!!!!! Every single person tells me WOW your HUGE for 35 weeks, are you sure theres only 1?! Or OMG your so small for 35 weeks... OR your DEF having a boy your all belly. OR thats SOO a girl...
CAN YOU ALL LEAVE ME ALONE?! I get sooo paranoid when everyone tells me I MUST be having a boy! SHUT UP! LOL Old wives tales are JUST THAT OLD WIVES TALES!!!!!!! Not every woman carries the same. Im a petite girl what did you think was gonna happen? I was gonna blow up like a whale cause Im preggos?!
And like I said its so conflicting some people think Im huge and others think Im small... Either way, I didnt ask!!!!
See I dont mind talking about the baby; I dont mind my belly (I LOVE IT) and I dont care about my weight. I feel good about myself and LOVE being pregnant...
I guess I just find it crazy how everyone has an opinion on my pregnancy, even strangers... Its like people go out of their way to tell me about it...

Ughhh! I cannot stand people. I am ready to tell my MIL off. Everytime she sees me, she makes comments about how huge I am!

Maybe it's just me, but it really doesn't bother me. I don't think people are being mean spirited or anything - it's just small talk. Pregnancy is a big deal and people like to acknowledge it!

Re: Why do people feel the need . . .
It gets annoying. With DS I had so many people tell me to double check I wasn't carrying twins. It was everywhere I went to work, out, or visit family.

exactly !
I am so tired people telling me how small I am, and god forbid I slip up and say I feel so big, how dare I say it?! Just bc I'm on a thinner side (for now, I'm only in my 25th week) I have no right to complain how much weight I'm gaining or how big I feel...
One of the moms at my DD's dance studio saw me the other day -I never talk to her, barely say hi to each other when we meet - she looked at me and said I heard you are 6m , wow you look so good, you b**** , I wish I could look that way when I'm not pregnant ... Then she looks at anther mom and says can you believe this b**** is 6 months pregnant?!  
I just don'g get why people can't just leave you alone or just say you look good , OR say nothing!
I mean I know they don't mean anything by it and when people say you look small most of the time it's supposed to be a compliment, but for whatever reason it really bothers me now, not so much in the beginning, maybe I'm just hormonal or something , who knows

Re: Why do people feel the need . . .
My belly is getting bigger and surprisingly comments about it are not bothering me. I did have one man say he knew we were having a girl because you gain weight all over, not just in the belly like with boys. (And my regular clothes still fit!) Thanks for calling me a fatass, jerk!

Re: Why do people feel the need . . .
I get it both ways - I am carrying very small, so people comment on that all the time.
But then people who see me often and know I didn't have a belly at all until much further along love to comment about how much bigger I am now - even if really I am still small!
It's insane. I never comment on their bellies...

Re: Why do people feel the need . . .
Ha! I stupidly mentioned to a saleslady this weekend that I was 4 months and she kept saying how I'm carrying great. Lady! I'm not showing yet since I'm only 4 MONTHS!

Re: Why do people feel the need . . .
Forget about the comments I can't stand people touching my belly. I haven't even popped yet, if you didn't know I was pregnant you wouldn't be able to tell by looking at me. Yet, coworkers are always placing their hands on my belly, I hate it. I just want my personal space back...sorry vented a little there

Re: Why do people feel the need . . .
Luckily, I haven't had any comments yet. I think people are just insensitive. They might mean well, but comments like "oh are you sure you are only 6 months and are you sure there arent 2 in there are just dumb. Yes, I'm sure! I've been to a Dr and I know my due date and how many there are.

Re: Why do people feel the need . . .
yup!! my boss says everyday..ohhhh, you look pregnant, you realize that right. i wanna scream...its like yes, i freakin know that, i am pregnant for one so obviously i might look it and secondly, its my body, of course i know. and then she repeats herself like 10 minute later if she passes by me.
oh yeah and then another person touched my stomach to check if it was hard, out of nowhere and then said lift up your shirt. im like no, get away.

Re: Why do people feel the need . . .
I get annoyed sometimes too. A couple weeks ago we saw DHs grandma and the first thing she said when she saw me was 'let me see your belly!... Oh... I thought you'd be bigger by now' in a disappointed voice.  So sorry my growing fetus and I are disappointing you!
