Why do people stare at pregnant women?

I was at the grocery store to buy puff pastry dough to make a beef, cheddar and veggie pie for dinner and when I was walking through the frozen food aisle stopped for some peppermint ice cream and this couple couldn't stop staring at me. I felt like asking them if they've ever seen a pregnant woman before buying ice cream. It really bothers me when people have to stop and stare.

    because they are in awe that we can get this big and still look this good-ha! :)   or they are envious of our ability to still move and or are impressed that dinosaurs still roam the earth :)

    People love pregnant women. Don't take it as a bad thing.

    People really do love pregnant women. The only time I hate it is when it's a creepy looking man or someone I think is giving me judgemental looks b/c they think I'm a teenager. (I don't look 23 and I don't look old enough to be married.)

    I'm guessing they can't figure out if we're fat or pregnant.  Then, if they're like my mom, they're look how we're carrying and then look at our ass to see if we're having a boy or a girl.

    Yesterday at the mall I swore everyone was staring at me. It was strange.

    I have to admit that I stared at bellies.  It was a combination of jealousy and awe, while we were TTC.
