Your Big
Why do people say the most disrespectfully crap. Yes I am almost 15 wks and my belly is a round belly bump that is noticeable ALREADY! I wake up every morning and shower everyday, I see my belly, do you think your giving me news as to the size. Matterfact what medical degree to you have to determine if my bump is small large or just right for ME! the next time someone says it, I am going to politely ask, where did they go to med school, and do they possibly know what my pre prego weight was and which pregnancy this is for me.

Re: Your Big
I agree, that is freaking irritating. I keep getting conflicting opinions, some people say I am showing and some don't see it and then they argue in front of me about whether I am showing or not.

Lol, I was thinking 'my big what?'
My bump with DD was measuring exactly average, but was shaped like a torpedo so I stuck out farther than most women do. People made comments non-stop. Strangers would yell at me across parking lots even. It's super irritating, but you know you are a normal size. I work from home now, and don't see people I know all that often, so I haven't gotten any comments yet. The only friends I have seen since I started showing are too polite to say anything about the size of my bump, thank goodness.
People are stupid and they don't think. Don't let it bother you too much. It's either wow you're huge or wow you're so tiny. Trust me, I was on the tiny end and it was no fun.
I think no matter what people say about how you look, it's gonna bother you. Granted what OP and a lot of PPs said were genuinely rude remarks, but we're all hormonal and extra self-conscious during this time no matter what. I'm 14w, into mat pants etc. and people keep telling me "you can't even tell yet!" Really? 'Cause I feel like I am the size of a truck already and if this is only 3 mos. how am I gonna feel by the time I'm due?
I think people's comments on a pg woman's appearance should be limited to only the most super-positive, otherwise keep it to yourself. (e.g. "you're glowing" "you're such a cute pregnant lady")
He he he.
