Can you please look at my signature pic, which was taken yesterday and tell me if you think i look big for 33 weeks?

 People keep saying i look like ive dropped but honestly i think that i havent been carrying up high in the first place....my belly has never been high up by my boobs........

 people keep saying i look like ive dropped, that i look really big, and my mom was just telling me on my lunch break how one of her friends had said something about it.....

i get back to work and some guy says "so, any day now huh?" and i said "yea....7 more weeks!" and he said "7 more weeks?! WOW!"

geez.........LOL Just wanted to vent to ya'll and ask what your opinion was........BTW, i was no stick figure before this! LOL

    I think you look fine :) But of course, I look about the same...

    It won't be long- just tell them all, "yep, any day". Back off people!

    This is not a hard question to answer... nobody wants to say yes...

    But kinda?  I mean, I'm just going off of me and a couple other ppl (I'm 32 weeks) and just the amount that your belly is sticking out further than your breasts makes you appear "out there".??!?!  Do you have small boobs? Because that's definitely not helping.  When a woman's boobs get larger, her belly doesn't poke out as much - optical illusion... does that make sense?

    But STOP COMPARING YOURSELF!!! Who cares? Right!!! You are beautiful and glowy and 7 weeks away from the best experience of your life!  If you are short, you might stick out more /c baby can move up or down a long torso, they go out - every baby, like every pregnancy is totally different.  And you look great and baby is healthy and THAT is all that matters :-)

    my boobs are huge. lol like DD..seriously. LOL....and yes, Im only 5'0". Youre probably right. Im not trying to compare, (really! LOL) .. but I just wanted other pregnant mama's opinions...

     

    It just seems like lately, so many people (in person) are telling myself, and my mom about how big I am and how they dont think i'll get to go 7 more weeks,

    DD#2 is great, healthy, and right on target, said the doctor. You're right, thats all that matters :) I just cant wait to meet her...but she needs to cook a lil longer :)

    Please ignore these comments.  People forget how much a pregnant woman grows in the last two months.  You look great!  I have been getting the "any day now" comment for weeks and I am over it.  People just forget how much the belly really grows and how many of us take on water weight/swell slightly.  The media doesn't help by showing all pregnant women looking like they're in or just finished the second tri.

    I think us shorties have this problem because really, the bump has nowhere to go but out. I'm 5'1 and I get constant stranger comments about how huge I am. Just last night some wonderfully complimentary (note sarcasm) lady was literlly hollering and cursing about how huge I am. Yeah. It was terribly embarassing...for her. She was obviously making an idiot of herself.

    Yes, having a healthy baby is all that matters in the end, but I get how annoying it is. Best just to ignore it for now and in 7 weeks you won't even remember...hopefully. Smile

    Yes, totally agree with PP about height too.  Even at 5'4'' it has an effect on me.  There is a really tall pregnant girl in my office who is 5 weeks behind me.  People love to comment on how "different" we look.Confused

    I'm 33 weeks and I would say you're a little bigger than me, but I think it's mostly because, IMO and compared to me, you're carrying low.  You definitely don't look "huge" or anything, very appropriate and cute!

    People have commented many times that I seem so much bigger now than w DD#1, I've gained less this time and she's much lower so in reality I'm smaller, bellywise.

    Don't worry and don't compare, it will just make you crazy. They are at fault for making you stress, but people are insensitive!
