Comparing bump comments? w/PIP
Let me preface this by saying that I love my bump, I admit it seems a little out of control but I feel like it says "hey there is a healthy baby in there."
But I am getting a little self conscious when people think it is great to tell me "You are how far along!? Oh I was never even that big when I was that far along and I had twins! Or wow are you sure that is normal, you are so big"

I will add that these people clearly don't seem to realize I am 4'10" and will clearly carry much differently than them since they all tower over me. lol
Well, first of all, you look adorable.
I had 1 lady say to me, "Oh, you're really popping out- I didn't get that big that fast with mine..." I looked at her and said, "Would it be appropriate for me to pick apart your looks and tell you what I think is better about me than you?" She shut up really quickly.
I don't put up with people saying stupid sh!t. You wouldn't just walk up to a random person on the street and say, "Wooow your @ss is getting big!" Why is it cool just because someone's pregnant?
Personally I think you look great!!! I too have a very early and very large bump and have moments where I feel self conscious about it but I am trying to be more proud than anything. We are all different, your pregnancy is yours and yours alone and it is perfect! ; )
OMG my stomach just totally flip flopped - crazy or was that baby?
MrsNoPhun, you are so cute! I love the sweater you have on.
I don't know why people lose their filter when it comes to making comments that are pregnancy/baby/parenting related. It baffles me.
Just remember that everyone looks different to begin with, so why not during pregnancy? It's unfortunate that stupid people are allowed to open their mouths and make comments without a censor or "approve" button beforehand.
Here is my bump-a-lump from 16w0d (last week, top picture) and 17w1d (today, bottom picture):
Pardon today's outfit. I just got done mowing the back yard and was sweating profusely under my boobs. Attractive, I know.
Please do not let idiots bring you down about your bump size!
It should be legal to slap others in public. I'm thinking we'd enjoy pregnancy so much more if this were allowed... Or there should be a "SHUT THE F UP" button you could carry around and push (like the easy button from Staples), like when people rambled on about their easy deliveries or the horror stories. You could get the button at your first OB appointment. It'd be awesome.
i feel the same way...my best friend popped at 13 weeks, so far, i just feel chubby...

Yeah I'm 4'11 and I've been getting the same comments. My response is usually: "yes I'm carrying bigger than you were, and no, I'm not having twins".
i get the opposite. Im not showing at all (unless i eat alot of food i look like im showing) but i get the " are you sure your 4 months? shouldnt you be showing?" now granted ive always had curvy hips and a stomach before i got pregnant ( but not big enough to completely hide a pregnancy )but i do look exactly the same. it bothers me when people tell me that and im sooo jealous of all your bumps. you look healthy and happy. Pregnant women are beautiful and people need to shut their traps with the negative or comparing comments.
I was really big with DS, when I was 7 months a woman came up to me in BabiesRUs with a shocked looked on her face and asked me how far along I was, when I told her, she gasped-"oh my dear you look like you are ready to POP!" I looked her dead in the face and said "well there are 4 of them in there" she turned around and walked away. It felt really good to have a comeback right there and not on my way back to the car
Just remember as long as you are healthy, your baby is healthy who cares what anyone else says-especially strangers!!
DS ended up being 11lbs 4oz-so yes at 7 months I probably did look like I could deliver-but I felt wonderful!
