how do I get over this ?

Question

I'm 36weeks pregnant and all I've been hearing is how small I am ... which bothers me my son is going to be hopefully 6lbs but last month he was measuring 3.14lbs ... it bothers me that he's small ... and it bothers me even more that people say stuff about how big I am ... we had lost a baby Last year and I'm still trying to get over that let alone hearing if he'll make it and that I'm too small to be 9 months ... how do you guys deal ?

Answer

I'm tiny and people comment constantly. Who cares?! If baby is measuring on track that's all that matters. People just like to talk, gotta ignore them girl. One friend told me it's just the start of people giving you unwanted parenting advice for the rest of your life so might as well get used to it ;)

Answer

Everyone is different! You and your doctor know the baby is on track so try to brush them off. I'm tall so I don't show the same way as other women do. No one believes me when I tell them I'm 34 weeks and I have huge babies. (First was 9lbs 8oz and baby #2 is set to be bigger) People can be annoying but you just try to relax and enjoy the excitement and anticipation of meeting your little. :-)

Answer

So I am the opposite but can empathize. I hear it multiple times a day how large I am. And rude too. I know I'm big and don't need people telling me. My son was 9lbs 10 of when he was born and with her being big as well I am forced to do a csection for both of our health.

I am not dealing. I am over it more and more everyday. I am now telling me I am either just fat, having triplets, and a month overdue or smile and walk away. Over people and their comments. Just because we are pregnant doesn't mean you can comment on my body. Thank you!

Answer

I had a lady at a gas station ask me when I was 33 weeks how far along I was. When I told her, she looked at my belly and asked me if my baby was missing limbs. No joke! She said at 33 weeks I should be huge. I'm not a big person to begin with, so telling me I should be huge was really rude. I'm 36 weeks now and people still don't believe me. I had my coat zipped up at Costco the other day and the employee asked me why I was buying size 1 diapers. He didn't believe me either. People are dumb!

Answer

I take it as a compliment. I gained 70 pounds with my first pregnancy so now that everyone is saying I'm small, I take it as a compliment.

Answer

I'm on the same boat as you. My baby measuring small also. I'm 35w +6 measuring at 4lbs 10oz. Baby hardly grew any weight from 33wks bc at 33wk baby was 3lbs 13oz.

Answer

Just ignore what other people say to you.... all pregnancy are different... my first son was bigger than my second pregnancy... just because u r small doesnt mean that baby are too... all u should worry is at least ur baby are healthy....
