FTM & stares

Bond007army

I know I'm a small woman and I probably do look a lil funny with a waddle and a basketball belly but dang can't I get a smile with your stare as you walk past me???

Bond007army

I CANT EVER GET THE PICTURE TO TURN RIGHT SIDE UP...sorry

ziggy903

Who is this question for? I don't smile at random people. That's creepy.
Also, was the photo necessary? I feel like you could have used your words to express your thoughts without a photo. We don't randomly show off our bellies here, we do it on Wednesdays so we don't have 8362849307 "look at my belly" posts.

AW moment?

Bond007army

Alright well since every pregnant woman on here is hormonal, I can't express anything without getting an inconsiderate comment. So no worries I'm deleting the bump and keeping my own experiences and comments to myself. Maybe you can learn to do the same. Guess the whole "if you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all" concept never got through to you ladies. And yes I did quit smoking. Thanks for the support. Yes I know the comments weren't "mean" or "rude" or whatever in that sense but congrats. One less mother on the bump for you ladies.

@Bond007army

What were you expecting from a post like this? What goal were you hoping to accomplish by it?

cksmith29

So are we supposed to stare at your picture and smile?

I thought this (her GBCB) already happened. No?

PeachLove25

Nope. You're just getting a stare from me. Lol.

I don't tend to smile when I see a pregnant woman with a cigarette in her hand either.

I was going to say this same thing.

And not because I'm a hormonal pregnant lady, but just because I don't like you.

1. I'm not feeling "hormonal" but the people who throw the word around like that usually are.
2. Perhaps you would get a "considerate comment" if you participated in things other than just your own threads.
3. No one is making you stay on the bump. No one is making me stay on the bump. I genuinely like it here.
4. You might want to take your own advice about saying nice things. All I've ever seen you do here is complain. Never support other women, or take a genuine interest in getting to know people... Just complain about your life.
5. I'm glad you quit smoking.
6. Bye girl!

I just spent a really long time to see if I could spot a dildo (or something equally embarrassing) in the photo background.

Should that go in the FFFC?

I feel bad about the only thing I cared about in this picture was the extremely messy room and unmade beds...oh and the dog butt lol

P.s. I have a small case of OCD I suppose? oh well..I never smile at strangers besides the cute old ladies who smile at me!

Omg, you guise, she is deleting The Bump apparently.

The whole site?!?! She has that kind of power? She truly is a Bump God.

@bond007army that's so strange because I am way smaller than you and I get tons of smiles. maybe it's because I haven't gained much weight at all. I mean I have a basketball belly but I was really small before too so that's probably why so many people smile at me and why I can feel my baby move so much. because, yanno, I'm so small.

orchid8301

This is one of those times that I think I would have been ok with "sorry for the mess". At least tell me this isn't how it always looks.

Wait... What... ?

Nevermind. Don't even care.

Oh, you get stared at because your SO small and have a basketball belly.... Forgive me, but I have no damn clue what the point was of this thread in the first case? I guess I should post a thread about how I get stared at because I'm over weight, and carrying a secret watermelon under my shirt.

My palm just met my forehead. Didn't we all just talk about this is another thread?


Edited to add, if a stranger stared and smiled at me I would consider him/her a freaking creeper, and walk away without hesitation lol!

Not to be the voice of dissent or to cause unnecessary drama, but I kind of feel bad. It seems like she was just venting about the fact that strangers stare at her while she is pregnant and that this conversation spiraled out of control. That said, I don't see the picture people are referencing so maybe I don't know the whole story. Additionally, the OP wasn't that articulate. I worry sometimes that we don't fully understand what one another is trying to communicate on this board and that the miscommunications devolve into snark. I'm not blaming anyone or trying to stir anything up, I am just kind of confused.

 

EDIT: Ok after re-reading the thread there was obviously a photo that I am not seeing that is perhaps causing the controversy. Again, I am not trying to stir anything up....just confused

Every time she's posted in the past it has been some sort of complaint.

When everyone isn't one hundre percent supportive (like we agreed with her doc and thought she shouldn't smoke while pregnant), she starts huig insults.

And, as was said earlier, she does all this without every offering support to anyone else.

ETA: Ladies, we really need to start Quoting these posts to keep the whole thing in tact. I'm a bit sad when I hear about a totally incriminating photo that has been DD'd.

littlepig2

@chiawombat thank you. my so tiny chest cavity appreciates that.

clozgoblu

Man...I missed it all of this today b/c of a hectic work day. And I can't see the picture, damn. I'm exhausted, but now thoroughly entertained...in a way that only a girl that is not super tiny miniature small and occasionally is smiled at if I'm also smiling could be.

emar129

Omg guys I'm pregnant but please don't look at my belly...

Dexter&11

I wanna see the pic - deleting it has caused all kinds of confusion in my tiny just woken up brain this morning grrrrr Plus, I'm a nosy cow

ziggy903

Okay guise I know it's my much but I totes took a screenshot of the OP with the picture. It'll be tiny, but here it is!

@ziggy903 that pic is sooooo SMALL.. I keep staring at it because its so tiny and all I see is a hot mess. Maybe I would smile if the pic wasnt so super SMALL!

Who are these people I've never heard of who "love" the OP and jpoinda's dissent? Danger, Will Robinson.

1. I really wasn't trying to write a "dissent." I said that I didn't understand what was happening and suggested that it was a miscommunication. Someone told me that I didn't know the entire history. I agreed and said that maybe I misunderstood.

2. Only one person "loved" what I said.

3. I'm really not trying to start controversy. I was just confused.

There's a shock.

Not sure what you are driving at. I think that my response was very measured and nice. Is there something that bothers you about the way I'm posting? That's a serious question: I'm really not trying to be snarky.

jenniejuniper1

Whatevs, everyone - I'm so small that people ask my baby when I'M due!

Strong work, ladies. I caught this last night and backed away so I wouldn't be accused of 'stalking her', but my first thought was either that she smells like cigarettes or it's the RBF turning people off.

Or maybe she's just as unlikeable walking around in public as she has been here.

NAH. It must be that she's such a small person with a basketball belly, and that's why people don't smile at her. That makes perfect sense!

SO SMALL! JUST SO SMALL!

@car seat, I was just reading this for the giggles until you threw out RBF! Love it!

RondackHiker

What is RBF? Rotten Breath Factor?
