Belly Shamed

I’m 22w 6days and have a small belly, I look pregnant but I’m not slowing as much as other people I know. But I feel like people treat me different than someone who is showing more or has a larger belly?

People will make comments like “oh you can’t be THAT pregnant” or “oh you shouldn’t be acting like you have aches and pains you don’t have a big belly yet” and it really irritates me. Then they will make comments when I tell them how far along I am like “oh why are you so small then” or “oh you need to eat more” and I’m like....🙄

Do any other small built people have this problem?
