Belly shamed?

Question

Has anyone else been told... OMG your gonna have a big baby... or wow your only how many weeks?   sometimes it seems like people are just trying to make conversation at my sake. but sometimes it comes off very very rude and has made me some what self conscious. How do you ladies handle these comments?

Answer

Yes! I get asked regularly if I’m having twins! And I really don’t think I’m THAT big! Im just all belly because I have no torso! I almost throat punched a lady the other day it made me so mad 😅

Answer

People make comments about my size, too. I'm at risk for early delivery so I'm pleased that she is growing big and strong.
People seem to say weird shit to pregnant ladies. Honestly I probably did it before I was pregnant too without realizing.
I was in the dollar store buying baby shower decor for my mom (she's throwing it but I'm not working so I had time to stop by after a doctors appointment) and the lady working there started talking to me and was like "I was just telling my son it's been so long since I've seen a pregnant girl and here you are." Or something like that...
People are weird. I just try to smile and carry on. As I walk away I def widen my eyes and blink hard. This GIF is me AF. 😂

Answer

yep, went to register at the hospital and the lady who was registering me blatantly asked when I was due and before I could answer she said most likely soon, then she went on to also ask if I had one or two babies in there I'm only 25 weeks.

Answer

I get “your super small still” or “oh your finally looking pregnant “ 
Those annoy me a lot. I got a friend that says “oh look at that belly” I like that, can’t people just stick with that! Lol

Answer

I told them it was a rude question and walked away.
Another time someone I barely knew tried to touch my belly, so I rubbed his.  He didn’t care for that and walked off.  Easy win.  😉

Answer

YES! “Are you sure you’re pregnant” is my favorite. I’m 25w5d. I’m pretty sure all the movement and the ultrasounds I’ve had show I’m pregnant 💁🏻‍♀️ just because I don’t have a belly yet doesn’t mean anything!

Answer

Yup. Its frustrating, but I realized that I'm just insecure (always have been) about my body, especially my stomach area. They're not trying to be rude, but even if they are, your body is doing some amazing things.  Try to ignore the comments and think about your beautiful baby who will be here super soon!

Answer

Just posted about this same thing yesterday. There’s a lady at church that makes a comment every Sunday. I had two strangers this past weekend tell me how huge I am and that there’s no way my due date is right, and my personal favorite “are you sure thwre aren’t 2” I told my husband I don’t even want to go out anywhere anymore.

Answer

Yes 😕 and even worse, my sister-in-law is due 6 days before I am, and she is tiny compared to me. Most of the comments I get come from my husband's family who are comparing the two of us. It sucks.

Answer

All the time! My girlfriends say maybe it’s the white shirt bc I don’t look that big in person but strangers have no filter they always ask if I have two babies and how I have so much more to go and my belly is big already granted I wasn’t a skinny Minnie before I got pregnant
