So I've posted before, just recently, about how everyone makes comments to me about my belly being so small for how far along I am, and how jealous I am of everyone's big bellies. Well - today - I am about to punch someone. I had 3 different people all in one hours time tell me "Oh my God, you're 7 months? You are too tiny! Is the baby okay?". I'm like seriously? First off, why would you ask me and try to freak me out saying "is the baby okay?", second off - everyone is freaking different! For me, I think over the last 2 weeks my belly has been growing a TON, but people at my work are just like "no, you're too small". So then I have to go and say - "The baby is great. I am measuring RIGHT on track. My doctor has not mentioned a word to me about being small. Every pregnant woman shows differently." The next person that asks me though - is not going to get my nice answer. I'm so tired of it!!! ERGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG.

I cannot believe that someone asked you if your baby was okay!  What if there was something wrong (and I know there's not), then would you really want to have the mother have to explain it and get upset?!?  I can't believe how many people don't think before they talk.

I get the "are you sure there is only one in there?" comment.  Even from MIL.  I'm not sure which is worse.  People look at me like I'm enormous.  I've only gained 6.5 lbs.  It's all baby.  I can't help I grow them large!

I know, right? It's just rude. IF there was something wrong, do they really think that's the best way to find out? I mean seriously.

I get that crap too..."oh, you're so small"...I look in the mirror and I look enormus compared to my pre-pg figure so what the heck do they know? I also get the b.s. about "oh you're carrying all in front, it must be a girl". Guess what, its a boy! I wish people would just leave us preggers alone and keep their stupid comments to themselves.

I totally agree. I feel HUGE compared to what I've always been. When I lay in bed and see my stomach turned to the side I'm like HOLY CRAP! Its so freaking annoying what people will say to you. They really should keep their comments to themselves, because they only look stupid.

Same here.

It's crazy because I've gained 30 pounds!! I was a little underweight to begin with, but I'm definitely not "too small" by any means!

Agreed.

Yes thank you, my baby is fine, but YOU won't be in about 2 seconds if you keep asking me stupid a$$ questions !!
Everyone always has an opinion. Thanks guys...

How obnoxious! I'm glad no one has said anything to me. There's another pg chick in the building whose belly is bigger and she's due after me but I think everyone just assumes she's due first.

Of course, now it looks like my fluid is low and baby is small so the first person to say, "You're so small! Is the baby ok?" will feel really stupid when I answer!

I'm 27 weeks and am carrying small as well. My doctor tells me that I have a long torso and am therefore hiding the baby well. (I'm five feet six.)  It's getting chilly where I live (NJ) and if I wear a jacket people say I don't even look pregnant.  It worries me a little, but my doc said I'm measuring fine.  Someone really asked you if the baby was ok? Unbelievable.  You don't have to explain yourself to anyone. Take care of yourself and your baby.  Don't pay any mind to people and their stupid comments.
