Why do people feel like it’s okay to comment on your size when your pregnant???

Question

Why do people feel like it’s now okay to tell me that I’m big now that I’m pregnant??? I’m 28 weeks and I feel like I look normal size. But I’ve had two older women recently make very rude remarks when I tell them that I’m not due until April. One lady looked at me so disgusted when I said I have 12 more weeks to go and told me that I look about ready to pop now! Am I really that big????? This was taken only a week ago.

Answer

I had a grown man ask me if it’s twins and laugh afterwords. 🙄 this is my third kid, and I’m tired of being nice to people about my body and the way it carries babies. You’re beautiful, your belly is not too big and not too small. You look exactly where you need to be for being in the 3rd trimester. As long as you’re healthy and that baby is growing exactly the way they should be and your doctor isn’t concerned then don’t worry about it. People are ignorant, don’t let them get to you.

Answer

at 27 weeks, everyone is different, there's a girl who is 2 and a half weeks behind me at work and you can barely tell she's pregnant. I'd rather look pregnant than look like I've just gained some weight (not that that's how she looks) but you get what I mean

Answer

You look great! Idk what’s worse, I was told today “you don’t even look pregnant! I hope you’re not starving the poor thing!”... like really?! I have no idea why people open up their mouths sometimes. 😕
My doc says I’m fine so I try not to let it bother me, hope you’ll do the same!!

Answer

I’m sick of this too! It depends on what I wear. Some people comment “oh big baby”, other people tell me I’m small, other people say I look about right. Just don’t comment and do not touch!

Answer

Thank I think that shit is so fucking rude sorry for the profanity but this girl did this to me yesterday

Answer

Same. Same. Same. That’s been the story of my life this week. I work in the medical field and every patient asks when I’m due, and looks shocked when I say April. Coworkers literally said “oh my god you’ve gotten bigger over the weekend!” .... like seriously?

Answer

I've had people give me dirty looks too I'm 28 weeks Monday. I feel so self conscious about it that I don't want to leave my house sometimes. People are so rude. One lady was practically calling me fat and didn't know I was pregnant. Just rude. I don't think I'm that big!

Answer

Get this all the time... but everyone’s body carries differently. Ppl expect everyone to have just a little pouch but that’s not reality. 
I embrace my belly and most times I just state that I’m carrying big before they get a chance to. Then they always say “no your not” smh
You look beautiful don’t worry you are glowing!
Here I am at 27 and 5!

Answer

One of my daycare parents said to me the other day, are you sure it’s not twins?? Pretty sure if looks could kill she would of been dead. It’s so rude to make comments like that. You look great!
