Ugh?!? Comments from others...

atangiblewish

I'm glad we can vent here.

I come walking into work - out of breath cause I haven't had my morning water yet...Everyone has to stop and make comments. One person said, "Are you sure you aren't due sooner than June?" I wanted to be snarky and say, "Why yes, I'm sure, I had a miscarriage where I was due in May, so I'm pretty positive." But of course I restrained myself. But same person said, "she's a big baby. she's huge..." It's like, "Really? Can you see her with x-ray vision?"

I have a very small torso so baby really has nowhere to go but out...Grr. It just makes me angry because I don't want her to be huge, I want her to continue being average like she was when she was last measured. Call it my own fears due to my labor goals. So when people say comments like that, I think "Omg! I have GD" or "Omg I will need a c-section." Totally irrational, I am aware, but nonetheless the thoughts cross my running mind.

Thanks for letting me vent.

I totally understand but on the other end. I have people everyday telling me That my bump looks too small and not like my baby is due in June. It makes me stress that something is wrong and baby isn't growing but my doctor says he's right on track. I fee

I'm definitely having this same thing happen to me. Ordinarily I would be happy when someone told me I looked so tiny but these days it's been making me feel nervous or self conscious. I feel big but everyone keeps commenting about it being the other way

I get this too. A few different family members on Sunday asked if I was sure I would make it until June or if there was any room left for him to grow because I'm already so big. Honestly, it really doesn't bother me. I was really and truly a house with DD

I'm getting the same comments.... I saw my MIL on Thursday and first thing she said was "Wow! You got big!" then I saw her again on Sunday (3 days later) and first thing she said was "OMG, you got bigger since I saw you last!"   Really in 3 d

I totally understand!!

I had a coworker tell me I was huge yesterday.  In front of other people.  I almost smacked her.  I'm 5 feet so there's nowhere for the baby to go but out.  And one of my biggest fears is a large baby be

Dear world, there is one comment and one comment only that needs to be uttered when commenting on a pregnant lady's belly/weight gain/etc: You look fabulous!
Thank you,
A pg mama who would like to punch some people in the face.

The comments seem to be daily now.  And it's people who weren't ever particuarly talkative to me in the past 8+ years too.  Like the guy at the coffee shop who I just saw YESTERDAY asked me if I wanted decaf this morning.  I've never ordere

I think a lot of people who make comments like that are either moms who feel like they know it all because they were pregnant once, or they're people who haven't been around a pregnant woman before and don't have anything to compare you to.

People suck.  I get those too.  A complete stranger asked me if I was sure there wasn't two in there.  I just said, "Yep, pretty sure."  They don't think before they speak.  My baby is a little big, but oh well.  I'm a little

People just don't think sometimes.....In the span of 2 days I had one person tell me that I am huge and not going to make it until June, then another person, actually a family member say 'Your taking this pregnancy really well.  I expected you to be
