Feeling kind of down (vent)

JesscanTri

I am feeling so blah about myself right now. My belly is already so big and some people's comments are really starting to get to me. My MIL is visiting us right now and made a comment about how I look a lot bigger than she thought I would. FYI, this isn't a slam against her, she is the nicest lady. I told her that I am measuring two weeks ahead so I have the belly of some that is 30ish weeks. I already feel huge and this just reinforced those feelings. Then the sales lady at PBK said I looked like I was due real soon. I still have at least two more months. This doesn't even include the lady at a bakery that asked if I was having a girl because I look wide instead of pointy. Ugh, just how much bigger am I going to get?!?! I just don't think the baby has anywhere else to go but out.

End of vent, thanks for letting me rant!

Rant all you want! 

Sorry that people don't think before speaking, I bet that gets old real fast. I'll never understand what motivates people to blurt stuff out like that, think before speaking...it's not that difficult geeze.

Don't worry, try not to feel bad...most people don't mean to be rude when they mention how big pregnant ladies get...I think they just don't realize how it may come across. Just be happy your baby is growing

I've gained 45 lbs already and I still have 9 weeks to go. I've had people tell me I'm huge, I look like I've got twins and I've also heard that comment about being wide so therefore I'm having a girl. But I just say 'Yeah! I know, I'm huge! I can't believe how big I already am! "  I'm happy because my baby is healthy and I have a freaking human growing inside me...its going to get a little big!

That's a very positive way to think about it! Thanks ladies! It's just so weird that people think it's ok to comment on someone's physical appearance.

I don't know why some people think they can say whatever they feel like to a woman when she's pregnant.  It's just as insensitive as going up to a non-pregnant lady and making a comment on her size/weight.  Ugh.

I already feel big enough -- I don't need reminding from others!
