Thanks a lot stranger

So I was in line at a store and this is how the conversation went with the lady in front of me.....

Weird Lady:  "Oh, looks like you are going to be having your baby very soon?"

Me: "Nope, not really.  I am due end of September."

Weird Lady:  "Oh....." (she looked shocked by this)

Weird Lady:  "This can't be your first?"

Me:   Hmm    "Actually, it is my first".

Weird Lady:  "Oh....."  (she got a little red in the face) then said "Well you sure are all belly".

 I did not say anything to this lady.   I gave her a look like you need to just STFU!  I do like the fact that I am really all baby for the most part.  But the comments from strangers are not needed!

    Don't despair! I'm "all baby" too - and yeah maybe we look a little bigger up front but it feels good to not be the blimp I heavily anticipated since all the women in my family admitedly went "blimpy" instead of "all belly!"

    I think some women are trying to make a connection with you and *accidently* become rude nosy people. Oops for them!

    I feel ya!  I had a woman recently say, "I hate to ask this, but are you having twins?"  I was thinking, "If you really have to preface it with, 'I hate to ask this', then you probably shouldn't ask it.  I'm all baby too...which I guess is good, but it makes me feel huge when I get comments like that.  Just know, there are other bumpies out there dealing with the same rude comments!

    At least she has the decency to look ashamed. I've encountered some who will unabashedly ask when am I due and then immediately follow up with a straight, "Whoa, you look fat now." There's another who offered her expert opinion that I'm uglier because I'm carrying a boy.

    People seem to think all pregnant women look the same. By 20th week, you should look like so; by 30th week you should be this, you should be that.

    I just started to get strangers asking me...at 32 weeks...before that I just looked fat even though I'm all baby. my LO just seemed to take up my narrow hips and push my organs efficiently around my long torso lol
