Am I weird for feeling this way? Yes I get the aches and pains and all that jazz but I've gained less than ten lbs and nobody really acknowledges me as pregnant so it feels less real. Idk. Weird mood tonight.

So are you more concerned about how you ate feeling, the limited weight gain, or the fact that no one is acknowledging & commenting that you are pregnant?

My brain literally cannot accept these words in the order they were typed. I cannot compute.

Lucky you. I feel overly pregnant and it blows. Enjoy your non-pregnant feeling state lol trust me.

Catch 22 for strangers. Comment or lack of comment on the size of a woman's baby bump never goes over well. Why does strangers noticing/commenting make a pregnancy less real? This is dumb logic.

It'll hit you. You're pregnant. Embrace it. I've yet to have a stranger comment on my pregnancy, but it's all good. All that matters is that you feel baby kicking and you know you're pregnant.
OMG I totally read "I'll hit you." Glad you're not getting abusive, MCM.

Glad I'm not the only one who read it that way. I thought "boy MCM is really getting fed up with the noobs tonight"

My brain can't even comprehend this. Third trimester hit me like a bus. I guess just be happy that everything is going so well and has been easy for you? (assuming your doc says you are okay)

jennielee123 · October 2014

Must be nice.

leoandethansmom · October 2014

Yeah, cannot compute. Huge and pregnant here. Wish I was "kateiscute".

I'm going to have to disagree, I get what you're saying but there is a certain expectation of/validation from the comments of people around us, OP didn't say strangers so it could be her everyday ppl who knows. personally I'm hugely pregnant so people do make comments and aknowledge and I can see how the absence of it might feel a little isolating experience wise.

path75 · October 2014

At least your not getting the "wow your butt is even bigger". I dont even have a cute bump but I would rather have a lack in comments. I am sure it will hit. Oh and the random walk by belly taps to check at work. I just love those.

LaxMOM44 · October 2014

The other day a woman at work told me I looked full term and asked if I was going for a record....so YA comments aren't necessarily "ermagawd you are glowing" sometimes they are "holy fuck you look huge!"

weezy29 · October 2014

I've only gained 17 pounds at 33 weeks but I definitely feel and look pregnant. It's probably the snissing, the ninja like moves going on in my tummy and the overly large nipples I now have!

I say enjoy not feeling pregnant, (since you actually are) because this is the point where it usually starts to suck!!

mlee116 · October 2014

At 29 weeks, I feel like I did at the very end of my pregnancy with my son. Like you OP, I haven't gained much weight, but somehow I feel like a freaking refrigerator. Our bodies just handle pregnancy differently. Just try to enjoy feeling pretty good because I'm sure you'll feel pregnant soon enough

Op has been known to rile us up...

Isn't she the one that called us all b*shes because we dared to question the validity of a tech confirming sex at 12 weeks?

Feeling the baby move around inside of me makes me feel pregnant. Strangers commenting on how I look doesnt make me feel pregnant. This is just strange. How do you not feel pregnant? Maybe we should pull out the "call you dr" card.

LaxMOM44 · October 2014

Oh no I fell for it!

I did too. I don't remember SN's and hardly ever check post histories, so someone could be like "F*ck all you bitches" one day and by the next day, I've forgotten all about it. Its like I looked at one of these:

Omg wtf is that! Hahaha I am dying

aksue22 · October 2014

Strangers never comment about my pregnancy...and it's pretty obvious. I think people are just really scared of being wrong. It's a terrible thing to call a woman pregnant when she's not. And only one person has touched my belly, and that was after asking if she could. It took me a while to feel pregnant. I think it was when I started to feel kicks/movement that I was like like "whoa, there's a person in there".

Wow, that's a whole new level of RUDE. Judging by your HDBD pic, your lovely co-worker is just jealous! Your look awesome.

missmissie82 · October 2014

If anyone else had posted this, this is my response.

I didn't feel pregnant either. I didn't look very pregnant, didn't have any crazy pregnancy symptoms and just overall didn't FEEL pregnant. Until we were around 23 weeks, a lot of people that weren't in the know would talk to me and not even know I was pregnant until I told them.

But since this gal is a dramallama, I get why she was jumped all over.

I'm completely opposite. I am huge and complete strangers comment that I must be due any day. When I tell them I have 7 weeks left they act all shocked and then say "it must be twins" or "wow what a big baby". People have no filters.

Same here. I've gained a lot more than I thought I would and in my birth class I look significantly bigger than everyone else due in December. It sucks to deal with the comments but whatever - healthy, happy baby is all I want at this point. I'll worry about my appearance in 2015.

Oh YA she's a peach. Sigh I think I would care except I just passed my GD testing and have a generally good bill of health so I givenofucks how I look. Just wanted OP to understand that sometimes no comments are good comments.

I'm not sure why, but every time I hear the term drama llama I laugh. Every. Time.

Lol I just noticed there was a DD to the post. Kinda pointless when you've been QFPd. Nicole is a genius!

perfectlove09 · October 2014

To tag into whoever above said they e been told their butt is bigger...
I've been told several times by people "oh this is definitely a boy. Last time you were huge all over, this time it's just a really big baby belly"
Um....thanks????? WTF do people say things like this? And each time I say "yep. And I was 30 lbs heavier when I got pg last time". I was to add "thanks for saying I was a fat ass. "
