Everybody has a comment on my weight

Edrami · February 2014

My entire pregnancy I haven't showed until maybe 21 weeks after that my belly just keeps getting bigger. Now at 30 weeks everyone keeps saying I'm too big, and it's really pissing me off. I went to the doctor at 28 weeks and have only gained 11lbs in total so obviously she isn't concerned. Yes my belly is big but um I'm only 5'2 the baby really doesn't have anywhere to go but out. Sorry I'm just really frustrated.

KatieGummow · February 2014

Ugh, I would be too. Keep it up momma, you're doing a great job providing for your LO. People like that can suck it.

KendraL86 · February 2014

People suck. It's awful. Everyone has an opinion. Some people say I am too small. Others too big. It's obnoxious. Try to ignore it.

Twirple · February 2014

In my experience, people will either say you look barely pregnant, or like you're ready to pop. There is no in-between. I think that people just don't realize that each woman and each pregnancy is different. I won't worry about the comments. DS's daycare provider told me I was carrying my baby in my butt and thighs when I had gained all of 2 lbs!

At this point, I store the comments to laugh at with DH at the end of the day.

Mention their belly back, they stop doing it

Momof8inSC · February 2014

Same here. I'm pg with twins and today OB measured me (30w5d) at 48-55 weeks. Why not a confirmation? Bc she measuring about an inch or so below the top of my tummy hoping my uterus isn't that far up. Lol if it is, 55. If lower, 48. Either way, OMG. I'm 4'10" and ALL babies. You can't tell I'm pg from behind. It's insane. I've carried all mine like this but never had twins. People mention my belly (I've gained 28lbs as of today) and it IS freakish looking do it doesn't affect me as much.

I think we all look huge as hell to people who aren't pregnant. It's not like your doing anything wrong.

It boggles my mind why anyone thinks they have the right to comment on someone else's body/weight/etc. Sorry you have to deal with this!

GeorgiaWife12 · February 2014

Ugh. I could have written this post. It gets so old! I am measuring right on time, and most importantly, my BABY is measuring perfectly. I wish people would just keep their mouths shut unless it's a compliment. Pregnancy is NOT an excuse to comment on someone's weight or size!

Rrrrrachel · February 2014

People are ruuuuuuude! First of all I'm sure I look great and sounds like you're having a very healthy pregnancy. Second of all, even if you weren't, people should shut their stupid mouths.

That is all.

Teresa1896 · February 2014

I have a coworker who is a good 6 inches shorter than me and due around the same time. She's way bigger than I am. It makes it impossible for people not to compare the 2 of us, and the truly tactless have said horrible things to her and made her cry. ("Isn't your doctor worried that you're getting so big?").
Just try to brush it off. People just can't resist talking about pregnant bellies. They don't mean any harm. And don't take it personally- I'm sure you look great.

Cassi215 · February 2014

Everyone keeps telling me I need to eat more but I just can't. I'm not hungry and there is no room for the food. I'm preg with twins and I think my belly is big but other people keep saying when they were preg they were much bigger and only had one. The babies are both in the 50percentile and docs say they are doing great. I try eating as much as I can. I just eat super healthy too when I do.

emh81 · February 2014

people should shove it. If they would use their heads it MIGHT occur to them... "that woman is creating a human in that big beautiful belly. AND her hormones are CrAzAy right now, AND she's probably more insecure about her body than she has ever been in her entire life... MAYBE I should just keep my mouth shut!!" I've had two people say that I look very "healthy" I chose to take that as a compliment but I'm still totally fine with people just not commenting on my size/weight... just like they wouldn't comment on my size/weight if I weren't pregnant! I'll never understand why people think they have a right to comment on a pregnant lady's body.

Mamamonzo · February 2014

I feel your pain. I'm 5ft nothing the belly is OUT there! People are stupid. You are doing what you're supposed to be doing keep growing that baby!

snowclouds · February 2014

Ppl are dumb. Every day now I get comments like, "OMG, I can't even tell you're pregnant!" "You're tiny!" "You won't make it to April!" "You're huge." "You've really popped! Your belly is really coming out there." "Are you sure there's isn't another one in there?" and these comments are all from other women who have had babies. Makes me want to punch them all.

RebeccaY1 · February 2014

I wish people would keep their rude comments to themselves. Unless they are doctors and know the intimate details of your medical history it seems so unnecessary and inappropriate. Just try to stay positive.

ambarnett1 · February 2014

I bet you look wonderful mama

people can shut the hell up. Who cares about the assholes.

JuneDay2913 · February 2014

I am over people making remarks about my belly size and my weight, If you are not my doctor keep your opinions to yourself

dmosquera4 · February 2014

me too I'm 5'1 ive only gained 20 lbs and when i got out people are like "you must be due soon your huge" and I'm like in my head "yea bitch there is a baby in there you moron"... really makes me mad when people don't think before they speak

ksulli · February 2014

I work with a woman 3w behind me and I've been undeniably larger than her for months. She has 2" on me, and is slightly larger all around to start with, so comparatively, my belly looks larger although we're carrying pretty similarly.

Brigie029 · February 2014

I had a friends mom make a comment about how "unhealthy" I look compared to another of our friends, standing right behind me I might add, whom is 1 month behind me. She implied I was too thin and the other was "just right". What are we, the three freaking bears from Goldilocks? Like, so rude and I'm sure my friend felt bad as well being told how she measured up. Cut to my baby shower 2 Sundays ago and the friend brings her mom and while we are opening gifts, decides to ask how much weight I had gained. Luckily, my mom didn't hear her or she would of said something. She is classy, but I'm still her baby.

I ignored, but what the eff is wrong with people. Oh, and now I get, wow, you really popped! Ugh. Lol

smashton14th · February 2014

When i went to my doctor yesterday, the nurse mentioned that i only gained one pound. Then she proceeded to tell me that i should go to McDonalds and get a buy one get one free quarter pounder. Ugh.

ohhhmysushi · February 2014

Ugh, I hear ya! The comparison and comments are annoying! I'm barely 5ft gained 20 lbs so far and ppl say I'm too small. My baby is measuring normal and healthy and that's all that matters. My know-it-all friend (who's never been pregnant) made a comment about how I wasn't showing at 3 months and how other ppl she knows are already showing by then. In-laws made comments how small I was like it's a bad thing. So annoying!

Women carry their baby all differently. Just ignore them. Rock that bump

jessech89 · February 2014

All I can say is: amen, sista. People (especially in laws) totally suck at keeping opinions to themselves.

mrsB68 · February 2014

Who cares how big the belly is, if you and baby are healthy that's all that matters!

I can sympathize on your frustration though. I finally said to a few people 'I don't want to hear any comment on the belly unless you're saying it's cute'. That stopped many of them and cut my annoyance in half. Word gets around quick when you make a comment

Laroo0220 · February 2014

Yeah it sucks ass. I can't go more than an hour without people saying how ginormous I look and I've gained 20 lbs and am 5'5" and 34 weeks, it's just literally all in my belly. That is just the way I carry which makes me look like I have a basketball going on, but I cannot control that! I just think it's funny people make comments about weight at all. None of us are choosing to carry the way we are it's just what our bodies do. Ugh shut up people,
