I must be weird (baby bump mentioned)

in Pregnant after a Loss

My sister's boyfriend asked me "so when are you going to start really showing" and it totally deflated me. He wasn't being mean or anything, but I was kind of offended.

I've been - irrationally, it would seem - proud of my little bump. I think I'm showing. Enough that it's clear this is baby and not just extra holiday ham or something.

I see all these posts lamenting weight gain, and here I am sticking it out as much as I can.

    Tee hee - I flip flop on this one.  One day I'm offended people say it's big, the next day I'm offended people think it's small.  I'm chalking that up to pregnancy craziness (of which I don't feel like I have exhibited much of overall but clearly there are examples...).

    I bet your bump is just perfect!

    My MIL said to my SIL when she was 10 weeks pregnant 

    "Are you sure you're pregnant? You were showing a lot faster with the other two. I mean, are you SURE you're pregnant?"

    This is the SIL who had a partial molar a few years ago and before she even heard the HB with this pregnancy.

    FAIL, MIL. FAIL.

    I bet you look great!

    Try not to take his comment too much to heart. I'd say it was probably a couple months ago (so I was at a similar point in the pg that you are now) that I had two or three people act so surprised--shocked would not be an inappropriate word--when I'd mention I was pregnant. And at least one of these is a woman who has a child (granted, now grown but still) herself. I felt like saying, "No, I have this little basketball hanging out in front of me all the time!" If I got such surprised comments from women who have had kids, it's probably not too surprising a guy wouldn't really be able to recognize a bump when he saw one.

    I kept getting this, until all the sudden the "Are you sure it's not triplets!?" started. People are ridiculous. You have a beautiful bump.

    I'm sure you look great! I'm all over the place on wanting/not wanting the bump to show.

    that happened to me all the time with Aidan and I hated it. This time it was OH MY GAWD YOU'RE HUGE for the longest time and now it's you must have stalled because you're not showing as much.  people leave us pg ladies alone... just tell us that we look awesome

    I still have people ask when I'm due and get some shocked look on my face when I tell them February. I wish I looked more pregnant, but at the same time, if people thought I was huge I'd probably want to cry. I'm sure you look fantastic :)

    I am sure you look great.  You have every right to be proud of your bump... it is beautiful whether it looks like a bump to others or not (at this point... eventually it will be very obvious to everyone!!!)

    I've seen your BPF posts.  And it's definitely a bump.  And it's adorable.  :)

    I don't have much of a bump (looks like beer gut still) and I don't mind.  I am still nervous as heck and still haven't told many people so I am partially still in hiding mode.  I think once I get the 20 wk u/s I will feel a little more comfortable because right now I still don't believe I'm pg.  Until then I'm in an awkward place.
