I know I'm not the only one?!?!

Question

Multiple times the last couple weeks I've had ppl ask if I'm having twins( or insist I must be). I try to be polite,but I really just want to be mean to them! I did a side by side of me now and when I was the same amount of weeks w my first child, there is not a big difference in my size. 
Just want to hear your stories/ frustrations on this subject, and how you react to the comments!

Answer

Try actually being pregnant with twins!!! You get looks like you are out of a sci-fi movie or something!!!! "How far along are you" people ask I respond "27 weeks, but I am having twins" and then I get the "no offense but you are gigantic already". Thanks I didn't realize that in the first place! Ugh... Strangers don't think it's rude!!!! It's crazy!!!!

Answer

I'm 26+4 today. This pic was last week( left is now, right 4yrs ago and 50 lbs lighter) . I think no matter your size unless ppl are telling you you look great or have something positive to say, they need to keep their mouth shut! I mean you wouldn't go up to a stranger (who isn't pregnant) and say, dang those boobs have got to be fake! Or man did you know your butt is really big?! No ! Because its rude as hell!!!  People need to use their brains a little more when it comes to commenting on someone else's body!

Answer

People are just jerks and loveeeeeee to comment when they have no clue. I have had comments like "wow you are small" " Jeeze your belly doesn't seem to be growing" to " woah your too big" " your face is fat" .... People lovvvveeee to comment. I just try to ignore it.

Answer

You are definitely not the only one. People are constantly telling me that my belly is huge and are convinced that I must be 8 months pregnant and have my baby within the next month. When I tell them that I am actually 6 months pregnant they can not believe it and then ask "oh are you having twins?". 
The worst is when I stand besides a friend whose baby is due a couple days later. Then everyone feels that they have a right to comment about the difference in belly size. Which Personally don't think is much different. People can be so thoughtless some times. Also recently have a lot more belly touchers than before. Sometimes can be a little uncomfortable when a stranger thinks that they can walk up and touch me.

Answer

Yep I got told that with both my pregnancies. I think it's hereditary for me cause my mom said she was huge with all 3 of her pregnancies. Ppl always assume I'm having twins I'll be ready for worst comments soon as I hit 35 weeks they'll really have something to say. I'm 26 weeks and I'm happy with my big belly but you know what I tell them??
I might be huge now but I bet after I drop my baby I'll know how to get back to THIS... Then I'll ask them can you do this now??? I'm pregnant what's your excuse?! "Silence" is what I get.  
So I'm enjoying every bit of my pregnancy right now cause once it's over I'm back to my running and weight lifting!

Answer

I'm in the opposite boat I'm 25 weeks and 3 days and I'm barely showing. I am plus size (about a 14-16 in clothing) but no body can tell I'm pregnant. I have people asking after I say I am pregnant oh how far along are you like 2-3 months and when I tell them 6 months they are like there is no way you are six months and I must have been given the wrong due date or something is wrong with my baby or that she must not have any space in there. And i try to politely say that she is perfectly healthy and fine and right on track and if she needs more space that I'm sure my body will start expanding but as of right now she's good. I guess people forget pregnant ladies have feelings too!

Answer

I have no idea why people think pregnant women do not have feelings! Ugh!! A coworker made a HUGE deal about big I was (I wasn't!) and compared me to a tiny coworker who is having twins. I was devastated!!! Another lady told me the other day that I don't look pregnant, just like I'm getting fat. And a guy told me Friday, that I wasn't going to make it to my due date if I have 14 more weeks. I just smile and cuss them out in my head. I work for an elected official and have to be nice!! Here I am at 26 weeks. I don't feel like I look ungodly big...

I know I'm not the only one?!?!
