So what?!? My belly bump is small

Question

Tired of people making comments about my belly bump being small. 
Yes I’m really 36 + 3
Yes there’s really a baby in there
Yes my back does hurt
Yes I waddle around
Yes it’s hard for me to bend over
Yes baby is healthy 
Yes I’m eating right
Yes way I am due May 3rd
Yes this pregnancy is just as real to me as people carrying their baby’s with a big bump and all bumps of different shapes and sizes
Sorry I don’t “look pregnant” to you but I am very much so.

Answer

With my pregnancies, I didn’t really look pregnant until after 30 weeks and even then I didn’t “pop” until after 36 weeks. I got comments all the time how small I was. Even the day I went in for my CS with my daughter, the nurses made comments on how small I was. When I went into preterm labor at 32 weeks with a surrogate baby, the nurses told me I barely looked pregnant. People don’t realize how hurtful being told how tiny you are is! It’s just as hurtful as someone being told their huge. I can’t tell you how many times people asked me if the baby was okay and if it had growth issues. I would eat a full meal or chug a bottle of water before taking bump pictures because I was sick of the comments. I’m pregnant again, and I’m almost 20 weeks and don’t have much of a bump. I’ve already gotten comments. 🙄 I can’t wait for the rest of the pregnancy... Even my SIL would give me a hard time, but now she’s pregnant with her first and she’s fairly small too. And she’s LOVING being told how small she is. She’s eating all the positive and negative comments up. She says “Damn I look good for being # of months pregnant!” After she made me feel like crap for being small. 
 
I feel your pain. It can be hard hearing all of these negative comments. Just try to let them go and embrace your small bump.  Some women grow quickly and get nice round bumps. And some of us have muscles that hold tighter and don’t allow us to get that big. Everyone is different. Every pregnancy is different. I wish more people would realize that.

Answer

It's amazing how people think they can tell a pregnant women exactly how they feel about her pregnancy!! We all carry babies very differently!! I'm on the other side and people stop my to ask how many are in there! And "Watch out! That belly will take you out!!" You are working hard at creating a human! Go momma!!
