Does anyone else struggle with feeling bigger than you should be?! I didn't until I started getting comments. Someone asked my MIL if it was twins, and I got several comments saying I looked further along. I'm 25 weeks I thought I was pretty normal? 😕

Question

Answer

You look great! People suddenly think they can comment on your body when you're pregnant - it gets to me too but you've got to learn to ignore them :)

Answer

I've only gained 3 lbs. and I'm days away from 25 wks. I look just like you! Yet I have gestational diabetes. A pregnant body is beautiful and everyone's has their own unique story. I just try to smile and nod, but if they're really rude I'll tell them 'thank you' for their opinion and walk away/change the subject.

Answer

You look great! Don't worry the grass isn't any greener on the other end. I have the opposite struggle. People keep saying how small my belly is for 25 weeks. It makes me feel insecure about his growth!

Answer

I'm also struggling. Admittedly I've gained more weight than I should have but I've been asked if I'm about to pop and I've had ask me if I'm having twins. It's not fun when someone comments on your size.

Answer

Thanks ladies! You've said everything I've pretty much already told myself, it's just good to hear it again! ❤️ Big belly = healthy baby is what I figure. (Not that people who carry small have anything wrong though!😘) I figure I also have fibroids and maybe still cysts so that may play a role, and we also just have big men in our family. So I probably just have a big boy in there. 😊 Either way I too am proud of being able to carry this little human!

Answer

Everyone carries their babies differently. I have been feeling like I am twice the size I should be, but I'm also realizing this is just my body and I've got to love it! We're just growing some healthy awesome babies, and anyone who has a comment about your size is clearly lacking a filter and has never gone through the wonders of pregnancy!

Answer

Urgh I have the same- I'm 24+3 and probably similar size (bigger if I'm feeling bloated). My mum made some poor-taste comments about how huge I was early on but I told her how much it upset me. Since I was 4 years old I've known I had a big tummy, for the first time in over 20 years I'm PROUD of it! You should be too- you're building a human in there!

Answer

Very cute bump. Looks healthy to me :)

Answer

I've only gained 5 lbs so far but my belly feels way bigger than that. With my first daughter, I gained 10 lbs total and didn't really show until I was about 27 weeks... It's a tough act to follow. I'm 25+3 right now and a friend of mine and my grand parents have both made comments about my belly. I get extremely defensive and upset when anyone comments. I will never understand why people think it's ok to comment on a woman's size?? Pregnancy is not a free for all!

Answer

I've had several people ask me if I'm ready to pop. I'm almost 27 weeks.
