Feelin big!

in 2nd Trimester

So I am going to be in a friends wedding this weekend and last night at the rehearsal was really the first time I have debuted the "bump" to alot of family and friends from out of town.  OMG!! All anyone could say was "wow your so big...are you sure your only four months??" and "I can't believe your showing so soon" I even got the dreaded "are you sure it's not twins?" 

I mean I'm really not that big but I have always been really fit so when the bump just sorta popped out it's been pretty noticeable. Is four months really too early to show?? Anyone been saddened by comments like these when all you really want is to celebrate your baby bump??

    Try not to feel to bad about it... I'm right where you are- my due date is exactly 5 months away.  I've been getting those EXACT same comments all week from my co-workers. Specifically, one older lady even compared me to another girl whom she knows that is pregnant, saying, "She's not even showing yet and she's due a month before you."  Well, good for her! (sarcasm) Every woman's body and every pregnancy is different.

    People can be very insensitive.  Some don't mean any harm; they're just surprised because they're not used to seeing you with the extra cargo.  But others can be downright rude. But none of those comments will matter when you see your precious baby!  All of the inappropriate comments and unwanted advice will be forgotten.

     Congrats and good luck!

    I get those same comments from my MIL everytime I see her...that and that my face is swelling or full or some crap like that lol. I just ignore it because everyone else is really good about making me feel wonderful including my DH.

    Gotta love pregnancy hormones. There's nothing to make us happy Wink I hate hearing that I'm "huge" or worse my in-laws like to tell me "oh you look the exact same!" Gaining 15# in my uterus does not make me look the exact same!

     I do love when my husband says sweet things though. Smile Good luck with the rest of your pregnancy!

    Pay them no attention. I've had people tell me I'm huge and others tell me I'm carrying small. At the end of the day we'll all be huge compared to how we are used to by the 9th month.

    After I popped a week ago everyone at work said how cute and small I was, so I was feeling pretty good!  :) Seen a family friend at target the next day and she said I was so big she was going to pass out!  Compared me to my sister who is 11 weeks further along than I am saying I am so much bigger than her, and I got the there has to be more than twins in there.  So that knocked me down a peg.  Don't worry someone will come around and say something like "I can't tell you are pregnant from behind"  and you will be on cloud 9 again.  Try to let it fly :)

    I haven't gotten those comments, but I want them! Even when my mom says "you're so big!" in passing, it makes me happy. :D It's a beautiful thing we're going through, and big, pregnant bellies are beautiful and miraculous, imo.
