have you been judged on your bump/size ?
I'm pretty pretite but also toned . (You read why I'm mentioning it right now) I'm just 5 months in my pregnancy. I've told a my closest friends and family about my pregnancy. The other day I invited my mother in law and my sister in law over for dinner. I usually visit my mother in law every other weekend. My sister in law and mother in law were in the living room with my husband as I was taking out the dishes getting ready for dinner. The ladies went in the dining room and didn't bother to bring up my bump. They were saying oh where's your bump? I don't see it . Are you sure you're 5 months pregnant ? They both joined in adding on when they were 5 months in THEIR pregnancy, THEY were already showing. I was getting upset. I was like, how dare you judge me just because you've had a different pregnancy, though I never said anything. I was calm and said , well yes I'm 5 months pregnant. I told them well probably I'm not showing a lot since my body is really toned and I've noticed that most women who are athletic before their pregnancy they tend to show a little later than "most " women. Im not 100% sure I'm just saying what I've noticed .... Were not all the same , we don't experience our pregancy the same. My mother was the same , my mother said that she didn't start showing till she was 6 moths pregant, along with my sister. Like I said we don't experience the same pregancy . Yes we may have similar things but we're not all alike. It's like saying not all woman expirance morning sickness . I didn't really have morning sickness either . It was very minor . It was getting me mad that they were doubting how further long in my pregnancy I was . All that matters is what MY DOCOTOR tells me, if she thinks I'm doing fine , that's all that matters . So far , I'm very fortunate that she's told me everything is good. Don't tell me I should be bigger by now , you're not with me at my appointments. Don't shame a pregnant woman's baby bump!!!!!
