Yes!!!! My inlaws both keep making jokes about it. mother in law keeps commenting how "big" my belly is. And then she proceeds to tell me stories about other people on the family .. "Susie looked like she had a basketball under her shirt. Haha"
Father in law sticks to his "my what have you been eating" jokes. "Can you fit?" "Do we need a bigger bed for you?" Etc....
They mean well, but it's so annoying.
Ps. I've only gained 20lbs.. 35 weeks along. Even though I know it's not as much as others, I still feel self conscious about it. And it's normally when they start their comments!
Personally I don't think it matters whether we have gained 10 or 60lbs. Commenting on a pregnant woman's weight and size shouldn't be taken so lightly. Do they forget we are extra sensitive?

My dad keeps telling me that I need to stop eating sweets and prepare a diet after my son is born. I have always been chunky (size 14) but I have never been unhealthy. I have only gained 30 lbs and have 4 weeks left. My SO loves me the way I am and I am so thankful. My dad called me a big, orange balloon the other day. I was like...wtf dad. Please note that he is overweight and has been his whole life.

My boyfriends aunt said where's the fat girl!? And proceeded to tell me I've gained weight and poked me in the cheek....she almost lost a finger! When is that ever an ok thing to say, especially to a pregnant lady!? I was 107 pre pregnancy and am now 150 so I was already feeling self conscious....and it was also at a baby shower being thrown for me! Some people have no filter

Im 24 and FTM and my coworkers, who all had they're kids before the age of 17, insist on telling me how small they were throughout their pregnancies and how quick they lost their weight in comparison to me who has apparently put on an excessive amtof weight in respect to them. In my mind, im like, yea, if i was knocked up as a kid at 16, I wouldve been tiny in comparison to my shape now! Idk it just reqlly gets to me cause I hear it daily -_-

I hear it all the time! Dang uve gotten so big! That baby is going to be huge! I work in retail and even customers I do not know feel like they can comment on my size. I've gained 20 lbs total at 34 weeks and only 10 of that is actually over my pre pregnancy weight. I just reply with "Are you an ob?" Unless you are my doctor I don't feel like it's ok for people to really say much on my status.

Today I was asked if I was having quadruplets & told I was huge....

I lost over 100lbs before I got pregnant, and the two most popular comments are..

1. You look amazing, and you're all baby..
&
2. You worked so hard to lose all that weight, and now you're pregnant...

I LOST the weight so I could be healthy, AND get pregnant. I'm 28 and have been married for almost 5 years, and we wanted kids. Am I supposed to not have kids because I lost weight?!?! I've gained 35lbs and will be 39 weeks on Friday! I still wear my pre-pregnancy pants. I've only had to purchase pregnancy shirts due to my gigantic baby bump, which happens to be a holding a large baby. What is wrong with people?! Why is it okay for people to comment on a hormonal woman's body?

Someone asked me if I had a gravitational pull and if it was pulling me toward cheese and she proceeded to shake her own belly and laugh. This was a restaurant worker. I was so confused but at the same time could only laugh. What is up with people?!

I constantly get asked if I'm sure there is only one in there. YEP. Still only one.
Guess what ladies?! Our babies are happy & healthy. That's all that matters

I've gained 16 pounds and I am 37 weeks. I feel like everyone has to remark about how big I am lately and my weight. I seriously wish the word "weight" wasn't even in anyone's vocabulary at this point.

I'm getting super annoyed with people telling me how small I am. I'm not sure what's worse, when men make comments on our weight/bodies or when women (esp those that have already had kids) do it who should know better!
