in Pregnant after a Loss

I have been asked at least 8 times if I am carrying twins... I know I look a little bigger then I should at 16 weeks, but wow! 8 different people!!!!! I thought I was pretty average, but am I really big for 16 weeks? Here's a pic from just over 15 weeks......

    You look great. I looked that way at 16 weeks, I would say.

    People are morons. What do they want you to do, stay the same size as your baby grows? Stupid.

    Katie you should say "no but quadruplet's thanks for asking"...This way they give you the look and then you can say "NO but thanks for making me feel huge!"

    BTW you are so not big....don't even worry about it. Everyones body is so different and how you carry. You look beautiful thats all that matters

    Thank you ladies, I was starting to get a complex! People are so rude sometimes, but when it was several different people, I was starting to think there must be something going on. One person's exact words were "OMG you're so big! Twins??" Me "No" Rude Person "You're going to have a big baby!"

    Mel, that's hilarious. I am going to try that :)

    *off to flaunt my perfect sized bump*  LOL

    I just looked at my pics from a couple weeks ago and looked pretty much the same as you!  My guess is people are so used to seeing you so tiny (judging from your wedding pic) that any size bump is going to seem huge to them.  (And I'm not trying to defend their jerkiness by the way).  I think you look gorgeous!  I have had some similar reactions from people at this stage now that I'm really showing.  They'll get used to it...and I'm sure the comments will keep coming.  Be proud - you look awesome!

    I think you look great.  You seem to have a smaller frame so it will appear that you're bigger.

    I think you look adorable!!  Some people "pop" earlier than others, but I definitely don't think you look too big.
