"You're only 20 weeks? Are you having twins?" I will cut a b*tch.

    Lol I'm so sorry! I would be pissed! Maybe you should start critiquing their weight and see how that goes!

    I would have, but she was a sheriff's deputy. Usually pretty nice, too. LOL!

    It's actually annoying in the other direction too.  "You're so tiny!  Are you sure the baby is growing properly?" is irritating as well.

    ugh I mean these comments are the absolute worst.  I'm 15 weeks and haven't gotten any of these yet but I got the following two while pregnant with my son:

    From MIL's friend: my daughter never got this big during her pregnancy (at my baby shower!)
    From waiter: are there triplets in there?

    Wow.  How can people be so oblivious?  I mean, they must be oblivious, right, because they can't be that rude, can they?

    Yikes!

    Every damn day...  Are you sure there isn't another hiding in there? 

    YES I'M SURE! I've had like 10 ultrasounds already!  It's only one.  Ugh.  Just call me fat, that might make me feel less angry.

    LOL I love this post.  This is my 3rd pregnancy and I feel HUGE!  Sometimes when people ask me my EDC.. I tell them and they just say.. 'oh'.  And then I want to punch them in the face. lol   My girlfriend/co-worker is also pregnant right now with her 3rd.. literally due around the exact same week and people keep telling her that too. Oh.. how far along are you? she says 24 weeks and they say.. ooh.   C'mon people.. it is never smart to imply that a woman is big and this does not exclude pregnant women!

    Right?! You guys totally understand the frustration. I feel like a big mama duck, waddling around. This is my second so I guess that's why I ballooned faster, but every pregnancy is different. Man, I feel like telling people I'm due next month and then letting them wonder WTF in April.

    To top it off.. this morning my 6 yr old son walked in on me in the bathroom putting my bra on.  He goes oh mommy your boobs are gross.  Thanks child.. thanks.  lol he probably thinks that because they're huge and trying to take over my entire upper half.  But seriously??   Then he proceeds to say.. is our baby brother going to eat out of those?  I said yes.. and guess what? so did you!!  He says no way.. I did not eat out of your boobs! He was shocked by this when I had our daughter and he would see me nursing her. :)  At least with a 6 yr old.. we can forgive them because they're 6 .. adults should know better.

    @niknak1208 That's hilarious! My 5-year-old daughter asked the same thing. I told her she used to breastfeed, too! Then she was like, "Do I have to do it again?"

    I get a lot of "Wow, you don't LOOK that far along. You look great!"

    Thanks, but I can assure you, I FEEL that far along. And it took a lot of puking to look like this. Thanks for reminding me.

    Ugh, I want to throat punch every one of those who asks anything about my pregnancy. One lady at work just said, "You having a baby?" I said yeah looks like it! Then she proceeded to lower her head and chuckle. WTF?! Keep getting the boy or girl question too. No IDK and you will find out the same time I do. Making a baby takes time. Welcome to the world of old fashion ways where you won't get instant gratification.

    Well get used to it because it won't stop!  I always have a huge baby belly.  Like in the end its amazingly huge...so when other women aren't even showing yet I already am very obviously pregnant.  I always get the twins comments and people who insist I am much further along than I am etc.  And when people find out how large my babies have been, they insist I have gestational diabetes and just am not getting diagnosed! 

    I think women who barely show get the same amount of comments...but just directly at how they are too small!  I doubt those people who feel the need to comment at all ever see the perfect size pregnant woman that they don't need to comment on

    I have often thought about asking, when someone comments on how I have to be further along etc "and how far along are you" when I know they are not pregnant.  Or if they ask me if I am having twins...ask them "so are you having twins?"  Then look shocked when they say they are not pregnant

    This. I'd be pissed too and I'd be saying, "I'm pregnant...what's your excuse??"

    I actually said this to my boss after a few comments about how quickly I had gotten bigger.

    If someone is going to rude to me, I give it right back! But that is my personality, I take no bull!

    The comment that is pissing me off at the moment (close to end of the pregnancy) is the 'oh you look miserable' or 'you look like you're ready to go any minute ', 'you poor thing'. Offer some assistance or hold a door open for me instead of stating the obvious!

    OK rant over! Lol

    Here is one BIG downside to not looking as pregnant as I am:

    I was at work the other day, walking through the lobby, and someone at the reception desk asked me to pick something up before a visitor slipped / tripped on it. I was like "Really? I'm 7.5 months pregnant. I can barely tie my shoes. Can't you get off your fat a$$ and do it?" I didn't say that. I just made a point of making it look very difficult to bend over and I stuck out my pregnant belly as far as I could. She looked like she felt bad for asking. Good.

    I feel your pain. Everyone keeps saying how "huge" I am and "you're due any day now, right?" I have 2 1/2 more months to go, assholes.
