Anyone else hearing these comments already?

in 2nd Trimester
I've been asked several times recently if I'm already in my third trimester.  I'm 22 weeks, so no, not for a while.  However, I have also had several people tell me that up until very recently they didn't even know I was pregnant.  People seriously have no clue of what they're talking about...!

    I think it has to do with being a second time mom. I feel bigger this time. I'm a teacher, so no one really knew until recently and most were too polite to ask until I revealed. It really seems like some shirts hide it better than others, too.

    I haven't told anyone at work beyond a couple very close friends who are also close with my family. I am starting to pop a bit and I swear people are looking at me trying to figure out if I am PG or just chubby but no one has come out and asked yet.

    This is what happened to me.  Up until about a month ago, I looked liked I had a gut and bad posture.  Then it seemed like I popped overnight and there was no mistaking it.

    People haven't necessarily asked me if I'm in my third trimester but sometimes when they ask when I'm due I can see it in their faces that they're kind of surprised.. Thus thinking I'm farther along than I really am.

    Yep, just last week I was asked if I was getting ready to go out on maternity leave...I'd just hit 20 weeks the day before.

    Hahaha oh yes, definitely, this time around. Did you see some of my early bump pics? I swear at ~10 weeks people were asking me if it was a boy or a girl and how could I possibly not know yet I was huge... Confused

    I'm the opposite- I tell them I'm pregnant and they assume I'm still in my 1st tri. And then act surprised that I'm 1/2 way there! A mom at the park I was chatting to asked where I was hiding it. I told her I forgot to put on my bump that morning.

    Yes.  At 20 weeks this time, I think I look about 26 weeks from last time.  I am going to get DH to take my pic for tomorrows HDBD and do a comparisson from last time at 20 weeks.  I was still almost flat and still wearing regular clothes.

    I've been asked several times recently if I'm already in my third trimester. No, but my mom told me I wasn't "fooling anybody", so I guess I'm looking pretty big.

     I'm 22 weeks, so no, not for a while.  However, I have also had several people tell me that up until very recently they didn't even know I was pregnant.I went through that with my last pregnancy. I felt huge, but then someone would tell me how tiny I looked! I guess it's all relative.

    People seriously have no clue of what they're talking about...! So true!

    I have the opposite problem.  I just look extra fat rather than pregnant.  I haven't been asked one time about the baby.

    I'm still in this boat :( 

    my tummy does not want to pop, frankly I think I just look like I've gained weight. I'm 21 weeks and hoping I'll pop soon!

    Sometimes people ask me when I'm due (usually mothers with young babies), and other times people are completely surprised to find out I'm pregnant.

    my family keeps asking me if i'm sure i'm not having twins or are they sure you are not farther along. i had an ultrasound at 7 weeks baby was measuring 7 weeks and there was only one in there. my family is lucky that i love them.

    People keep telling me that I sure am showing... I don't even know what that means!!! I'm almost 16 weeks and have a slight bump. But to everyone I seem to be huge... my family also asks me constantly if I'm sure I'm not having twins. It's so true.. they have no clue what they're talking about!
