“You Look Huge!” - Best way to respond?

Question

I love my bump (a lot 🥰), I haven’t gained any more weight than I should, my baby and bump are measuring spot on for 29 weeks - so I know my baby & I are healthy & doing the right things... yet some people feel the need to voice their opinions (both to my face & behind my back) about how I “look huge.” I’ve heard it quite a few times already but it’s really, really started bothering me the last few days (thanks hormones). I’m assuming I’m not the only one dealing with this but how does everyone else respond?
Last night, for example, a woman who is an acquaintance had this conversation with me:
“How are you feeling??”
“Really good!! Tired today but overall feeling great!”
“That’s good- you look huge!” And then she laughed.
So I awkwardly laughed and just walked away because idk what else to say.

I don’t *think* these people have malicious intentions but just because I’m pregnant I don’t feel like they have a right to comment on my body just like they wouldn’t if I wasn’t pregnant! 🤦🏼‍♀️😒

Answer

Someone asked me if I was sure I wasn’t having twins . I just laughed but wanted to punch her in her face lol

Answer

I normally go with aww thank you, so do you!

Answer

I get the same comments at 31 weeks. 🙄 It really annoys me.. I know they don’t mean anything by it but that’s not exactly what a woman loves to hear. I love my bump and how my body has changed personally but it still can’t help the urge to roll my eyes every time someone tells me how huge my stomach is. I think it just shocks people because I was pretty petite before (and still am besides my belly) so when they see my basketball belly it catches them off guard. Doesn’t help when my MIL tells me every single day that they’ll probably have to induce me because the baby will be too big for me to have naturally.. that I’m probably further along than what they told me. 🙂🙂🙂🙂 Even though my doctor said she’s a bit small.

Answer

I feel like I look huge personally so I know. When people tell me I just say well he has nowhere to go but out! I’m 5’ 108 prepregancy with a short torso so he pokes out a lot. 
Most people tell me I look small still and that it looks like a little basketball under my shirt though. I usually wear a belly band to help my back and hopefully help to make sure my abs don’t split again too bad which I feel that makes me look a bit smaller lol.

Answer

Girls like me envy you. I'm 31 weeks and 4 days, lost 20 pounds, haven't gained any weight, and I only have a bump sometimes. I'm always told I'm so small or ppl will say "oh you're pregnant?" Or "oh i thought you were only like 5 months". So,  i wish i had a voluptuous bump. Just rock it.

Answer

Just don’t let it bother you. You mentioned you know there is no malicious intent, so why burn the energy caring what other people think? I get the opposite- I’m nearly 30 weeks and people are shocked and say I’m so small. It’s really not a criticism. I know my baby is measuring on track, so I don’t worry about it.

Answer

People comment all the time things like ‘you’re huge I can’t believe you still have two months to go’ etc. Lol. It doesn’t actually bother me as I actually agree I’ve suddenly grown a huge bump and you can’t really ignore it. I usually just respond with an agreement or a ‘yea, well there is a baby growing in there’ and just laugh it off. Or even ‘hopefully I’m just having a huge baby otherwise this is all just me eating too much’.

Answer

I had this said to me today, I really hate it. I think it's fair to say to them that you're still a person under the bump, and no one likes being told they look huge.

Answer

Im in my 31st week... the other day a woman told me a looked huge and then proceeded to ask how much weight I’ve gained!! It’s so hard to note hurt by those comments. I’m just always I. Such shock that women aren’t more aware of what they say to other women about their body. I’m like would you say this if I wasn’t pregnant? No. So don’t say it bc I am.

Answer

People who say that to me tend to be men with guts lmao. I just look at their belly and say at least i have an excuse. 
Women say I'm small.  
So 🤷‍♀️
