Anyone getting funny comments about belly size? I'm taller so although I have gained 30 pounds I think my belly is longer rather than straight out. Sounds funny I know, but people keep telling me how small my belly is for being due in a few months. The irony is that the scale disagrees with these comments completely!
Re: Comments on Belly Size
i've gained about 17lbs and got asked yesterday by my pulminologist if i was having twins after i told her my due date. :-(
and dh said that was this big at the end of my pregnancy w/ds.... thanks dh!
i swear my belly isn't THAT big though! i'm just short and all belly. :-(

I could have written this post word for word! Being tall has its perks...I, too, have gained close to 30 lbs and whenever I tell someone they always say "where!? it's all in that little belly!" They're probably just being nice but I'll take it
My H said the exact same thing to me. Someone at work asked me how much longer. When I told him 3 months, he said he expected me to say more like 3 weeks. Even I can tell I'm much bigger much faster than I was last time though. And being short isn't helping me.
My boss always tells me that she forgets I'm pregnant when I turn around. There have even been a couple of times when I actually turn and face her and she jumps a little and says "I know your 31 weeks but I still forget sometimes because you can only tell from the front!"
It always makes me feel good bc I've gained 40+ lbs and I'm convinced I'm secretly gaining back fat or a J.Lo booty but I guess I'm not!
What both of you said!!! I get the same thing constatnyl, and as another PP said, it sometimes makes me worried!! I wonder, am I really too small? I have gained 30 lbs or more too!! I guess no one is going to experience things like anyone else but they could at least keep the comments to themselves!
I've had a lot of people say I look small for my due date. I am measuring just as I should - at least at my last appointment, my next one is in a week.
I have gained about 25 pounds... I dont feel small!
I've gained about 13 pounds so far, and most people tell me how healthy and fit I look, and that they're amazed I'm in the third trimester based on my lack of readily apparent showing. My own dad tells me "You're really getting out there!," as if my bump is something to be ashamed of, or as if my weight is getting out of control; and to compound the matter, he uses the word "preggers," which really gets under my skin. His comments are just seem so insensitive to say to his hormonal, pregnant daughter, and it irritates the heck out of me. Just needed to vent....thanks
like! lol!
