Your best comeback for "You're so big already!"
smallfry5909

Several people have told me ever so lovingly that my belly is "SO big already!"
Yes, I do have a noticeable bump, but nothing else has grown (even regretably my boobs). Why do people feel the need to say this?? We are already having to come to terms with the rapid changes in our bodies, why rub it in? Does that make you feel better to say this to me?? I hope it does.
Anyway, I need a comeback statement beyond "Well, I am pregnant after all." I'm just SO tired of having to justify the size of my bump to total strangers!!

Re: Your best comeback for "You're so big already!"
I fight the urge to say this to my MIL all the time. She bought me a maternity shirt for my birthday sized 3X. Ummm... yeah I'm a large at most. I was like "wow, how big do you think I am?" She was like "Well, you're already so big and it's not even the 2nd trimester yet" haha. bite me.

I get the opposite. I definitely have a sizeable belly right now (not so much a bump) and none of my regular pants fit. People keep telling me how small I still am and how they can't even tell I'm PG. Some else asked, "Are you sure there's a baby in there?"
It made me wonder what I must look like when not pg....I didn't have this belly before, but everyone thought I did.
I would say "Well I couldn't wait to actually start showing so I stuff!" lmao!
Or you could say "I'm the next Octomom so what do you expect at 6 weeks?"
Or in my case I tend to carry my extra weight in the tummy area anyway so I have been "showing" for 4 years but I tell people that I do not know that I am 6 months along!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! I love this! Good one!

Them: You're so big already!
You: That's what SHE said! (with Michael Scott enthusiasm)
Last night I said to my girlfriends, "Yep, this baby's already a little attention wh*re!"
I give the angry pregnant lady stare... the one that stares into their soul.
It's like the care bear stare, but better!
LMAO! I love it!!!
LMAO! I love it!!!
I love it! I'm totally doing this.
Smllel, ladywalton, Skylarv, and preggo -- I love it.
I would use a combination of all of these, until your obnoxious "friend" realizes you aren't going to take her seriously.
By the way, if it makes you feel better, each time my husband and I have discussed our beach vacation baby moon plans with my mom, she says I'm going to look like a beached whale. She has used this exact phrase at least twice now, and I expect it will continue. Sadly, it's not even malicious on her part, she's just like Austin Powers when he says I HAVE NO INNER MONOLOGUE.
