@kor121 I'm worried about the same thing! Husband 6'4" now. He also had a gigantic head as a baby and at the anatomy scan she was like--head measuring two weeks older. Hope it was just a random growth spur. It would super annoy me if people commented on that, especially since I'm worried about the exact same thing.
You will do awesome! And yes, babies won't be 6'4" when they came out.
@KOR121 & @kwife15 My husband is 6'3"and has a big noggin, and I got this one a lot when pregnant with my son. My husband was a small baby (he's not sure if his mother smoked during her pregnancies or if that would have made a difference), but I successfully birthed my son unmedicated. He was 6 lb 14oz and born with his hand by his head (gee, thanks kid). He has a big head now, but what toddler doesn't?
Don't listen to those people. Unless they're your OB and looking at your sonogram right before your delivery, they don't know what they're talking about. And even then, there's a margin of error when measuring from a sonogram. Mother nature designed our bodies and our babies' heads for birth.
@kwife15 - yeah I won't say I not worried about it, but for multiple people to mention it, is just ridiculous. If I tear, they stich it up. If he won't fit, then c-section. NOT THE END OF THE WORLD. Grr.
@KOR121 at least it's your H that they're using for reference. My MIL has remarked multiple times that it's gonna be a big baby (complete with hand gestures) since H was the smallest of his brothers at 8lb2oz. Uh, not sure your other children have much to do with how big my baby will be, but thanks for telling me to prep for a 9lb+ baby with a massive head, just want I wanna hear every time I see you.

This is very similar to what my mil does. H is going to have to talk to her b/c of I do it, it won't be pretty.
I keep getting told - "But it's all in your belly" Um no it's not. I'm not going to strip for you, but it's not. And don't try to argue with me about it. Just look at my face! It's not cute.
I got told my several people this weekend that there's no way H's baby is coming out of my vagina. Jeez thanks. So glad you know what my vagina can handle. I get that I'm petite and DH is not, but DH wasn't 6'4 when he was born.
You should say that. "You have NO idea what it can handle. No idea." Then slowly walk away.
I get a lot of advice still and this is my third. Mostly people look at how young my two boys are and say "oh wow you're going to be busy!" Well yea I guess, 3 kids under 4 will keep me busy, but not more so than if they were spaced further and I was running the older kids to all kinds of activities.
The one that gets me is: "Sooooo do we have a name yet??" No, WE don't have anything! I have a name & it's none of your business! On the other hand, While walking during my lunch break a woman simply told me "you look beautiful pregnant" I could've cried! Made my day!!

I guess I'm lucky in that I don't get a lot of comments. I teach on Mondays and they just always ask how I'm feeling. And today I sa a friend that I haven't seen in a few months and she told me I looked cute and that she hoped I felt as cute as I looked.
I don't get a whole lot of comments either. Just you look good or cute! I mean I'm pretty happy about it cause the weight gain itself makes me feel like a blimp.
"It just comes with the territory."(this is regarding comments about my weight/size, and unwanted touches.) To this, I responded, "not if they want to be around me. Just because pregnant does not mean people can say whatever they want, nor have I lost my personal space just because I'm pregnant." Also, I was accused of being grouchy after I said this. To which I replied "if you mean by being assertive and not letting people walk all over me and touch me, then yes, I'm grouchy." I'm really tired of hearing people justify their lack of social skills and saying "I'll just have to get used to it." Because, no, I do not have to get used to it. And if they want to stay on speaking terms with me, they will remember their manners and keep their hands to themselves!!!
Thanks for letting me rant ladies. I just get tired of hearing stupid people open their mouths and talk.
This is my second, DD is 17 months. I get a lot of "was this baby planned or a mistake?" "Don't you know how this happens by now?" "Are you really going to take maternity leave? You just took one with your first!"
Yes yes this baby was planned, yes I understand my husbands penis has the power to create babies in me, and yes, I will take leave as THIS IS A BRAND NEW HUMAN BEING SEPARATE FROM THE FIRST ONE.
Also so the receptionist at work keeps telling me "hope your labor is a rip-roaring time"

Worst. Question. Ever. It's right up there with your baby being a "mistake."
I have had the same friend refer to me as "wide load" in the first trimester (i.e. "Everyone make room for wide load to get on the elevator") and then last weekend tell me that I don't even look pregnant, I just look the same as I always have. Please just stop talking, everything you say is awful and terrible and gets you one step closer to a throat punch.

YAS! So tired of being labeled "hormonal" if I show any dissenting opinion or emotion. True story the receptionist at work keeps offering midol to me "for those hormonal rages you keep getting" You mean telling you to do your job because in your supervisor and you don't like it? Find a new job.

HR is my boss and he tells me not to be so sensitive. *eyeroll*
before I was her supervisor when I got pregnant with my first and told her, she got done on her knees in front of me and prayed out loud to Jesus that I wouldn't be BSC. So there's that. She's a....peach.

Re: If one more person says...
You will do awesome! And yes, babies won't be 6'4" when they came out.
"June"
"With a girl?"
"No, a boy"
"Really? Why is your belly so small for 7 months then?"
WTF? Is it supposed to be bigger for a boy? A penis doesn't take up THAT much extra room. And how am I "so small" if I'm measuring a week ahead?
My husband is 6'3"and has a big noggin, and I got this one a lot when pregnant with my son. My husband was a small baby (he's not sure if his mother smoked during her pregnancies or if that would have made a difference), but I successfully birthed my son unmedicated.

Me "Well yes, that's what happens, everyday the baby gets bigger... that's kind of the goal... "
This one.
I walked into class the other day and my professor goes,
Her: "Wow. You're really starting to look pregnant."
Me: "Well it's a good thing because that's what the doctor keeps telling me."
Also, I was accused of being grouchy after I said this. To which I replied "if you mean by being assertive and not letting people walk all over me and touch me, then yes, I'm grouchy."
