I feel like my belly blew up over the last 2 weeks. It's all belly though, and I'm 5' 1", so I'm guessing baby just has to go outwards. 
My rant is when complete strangers ask when I'm due, and when I say December 27th, they are all: "Oh this must not be your first baby." (It is), or the just "Wow, you're really big already." Yeah, thanks, I own a mirror, I see I have a belly. And, I don't feel that big until people point it out to me! My doctor has said my weight gain is on track, so if they don't feel it's an issue, I don't see how strangers should have any say!

Can I just buy my make up please?
I know I've seen other posts about this issue to, but I just had to get it off my chest cause it really bothers me!
Do others get this same reaction at times, where complete strangers feel the need to comment on your pregnancy!?
