    @velvetblue88 ummm yes you do look pregnant. People are so out of line. My MIL said to me a couple of weeks ago “sooo I guess you’re starting to show maybe.” 😳 So she thinks I always looked like this and maybe I’m staring to show?!  I wish people wouldn’t comment AT ALL.

  • @velvetblue88 One of my friends told me this and I’m like what?? I think they mean it as a compliment, but yeah I am not a fan of it.

  • People must forget that there is a huge amount of growth that happens in 3rd tri. I hit 27 weeks today and one of my apps reminded me that his weight will increase by 3.5 times what it is now 😱. They must all expect us to look like we're full term to call us pregnant 🙄

  • @inthewoods23 I feel like most people don’t appreciate the true sizes of pregnancy. Once you get like 8 months people think you’re going to explode or something. I hate that media always shows these perfectly round basically 6-7 month bumps at full term because that is not the norm. People start looking at me really concerned about 3 weeks from now thinking I’m going to go into labor any second.
