I've had enough of strangers making comments about my belly!!!!!

in 3rd Trimester

today someone asked me "how many?"

me: "huh?"

mean lady: "how many babies do you have in there?"

me: "uhhh one."

mean, horrible lady: "that's what I looked like when I was carrying twins!"

me (in my head): gee, thanks horrible lady for basically telling me I am huge. I would think that as a previous pregnant lady, you would know that telling another pregnant lady that she's big enough to look like there's twins in there is NOT COOL!

    I hear ya!!  I seems like everybody feels obligated to make a comment about my belly.  I'm a small person to begin with (5'1") pregnant with #2 it its extremely obvious that I'm pregnant - I've known for quite some time know:) I would like to go just ONE day without someone saying something.  Yeah, I'm pregnant and look like I'm about to give birth any moment.  It's quite a normal process.

    I know how you feel. The comments really do seem neverending. Today while walking to my car my neighbor yells "Hey fat girl!" (he is an older man, and he knows I am pregnant). I have no idea what makes people think saying things like that are acceptable. Sorry that happened to you!

    It seems to me like most ladies who have been pregnant before tend to say the worst things!I think it's hazing or something...

    Oh gawd. I am so sick of the rude people as well. And I'm always so shocked by their remarks that I can't even think of something to say in response. And the staring...every stares so much. It's like they've never seen a pregnant woman before in their life!

    Yes, I have grown reallllly tired of all the comments too. Everyone says "Are you sure its not twins?" or "Wow, you are gonna definitely have a 10 lb+ baby!" or "Boy you keep getting bigger and bigger every day!'

    Its like HELLO PEOPLE! I am 37 weeks pg over here. How do you expect me to look? I swear women are the worst.

    My DH just tells me to say back to them "Yes, I'm big but I'm pregnant. What's your excuse?" since most of the time the comments are coming from people who are not so petite themselve.

    There is nothing more aggravating! I've been getting the "wow you're ready to go any day now huh?" and I have to be like "ACTUALLY I still have 8 weeks but thanks for noticing.." I mean really...im tired of people telling me how BIG i've gotten.

    No one ever say's nething to me EVER and I kinda feel like ok do I just look fat and not pregnant? kinda makes me even more self conscious. so just b happy that ppl can tell that ur not just fat and u have a baby in there. Cuz I almost wish ppl would say SOMETHING!

    Well, I have been on bedrest for almost 12 weeks.  I am now 28 weeks. I really wish someone would say something or ask me when I'm due, but I do not see anyone except for the people at my doctor's office every other week.  So, hey, it could be worse.
