Anyone hate this...i'm constantly getting stares at work. I mean I'm fully out there and clearly pregnant. Probably being senitive but it's still annoying

    I do, and I hate it. I've actually had people stare at my belly while talking to me instead of looking at my face.

    Although the comments are worse... yesterday's was a female coworker I barely know coming in and saying "Oh look how her baby belly's growing!" like I wasn't even there. I turned red and went back in my office without saying a word. She called after me, "Hey, we're all girls here, it's OK!" Um, actually, no. Just because you have two X chromosomes does not mean I have to be OK with your commentary about my body.

    I hate everyone today.

    People do love to exclaim "Nicole! Your belly!" periodically.  Its never right when I first see them either.  Its like they're suddenly caught off guard by my enormity in the middle of a conversation and then they get excited about it.  I don't mind so much at this point... usually if someone says something or is looking a lot I say "Checking out the baby bump?" and turn sideways to show it off.  I didn't like getting the looks a few weeks back though, when I was still only vaguely pregnant looking, and feeling flabby.

    I get it too.  I'm just uncomfortable with it...I'm not one to like center of attention so it's taking a little getting use to for me.

    I'm 4'8 and l don't know if people are trying to figure out how old I am, if I am a "little person" or what...I thought it was bad when I took my other 2 kids places. Try taking 2 kids a huge bump and look like you are 14.

    I can't help but wonder who these people are. I have been around pregnant women before I ever thought of having my LO, and I can't believe some of the things people say to me I would never call out a prego as much as some of these people do. Don't get me wrong I love my big belly, but I also think I should get to be the only one who refers to it in size period.

    This has only recently started happening with me since I just finally "popped" a week or two ago, but TWO different sleazebag dudes have said in a cheesy way (think Joey from "Friends"), "How YOU doin'," while staring straight at my belly the entire time. :| Creepola!
