aghhhh comments on size

Why do people think they have the god given right to comment on your size when you are preg? You wouldn't tell someone you thought they were really fat would you...

Now I know my bump is pretty big now but wasn't feeling too bad about myself as haven't put on too much weight elsewhere (and am within guidlines for weight gain) and wouldn't say I am much bigger than a girl who is due within a week of me at work, but literally in the last week everyone (woman on post office counter, girl in another department at work, woman on sandwich counter) keep saying gosh you look like you are ready to have the baby now, when they ask how long I have left and I tell them.

Izzy was big (9lb 2oz) so chances are I'm not having a small baby but just wish people would keep their thoughts to themselves!!!!!

People do seem to think that they can say anything when your pregnant, rude gits.

OMG can't believe you're 32wks now, that's gone soooo quick!!!!

just shrug off their comments babe, i'm sure you look fab, when i was 6mths preg with Mia a checkout woman asked if i was having twins coz i had a massive bump!!!

big hugs xx

My friend is 20 weeks pregnant with twins and everyone keeps saying she is small and she is worried that they arent growing properly. People should just learn when to keep quiet.

I'm sure you look fab but a picture would be good

How horrid are some people you don't tell a pregnant women they are fat. When I get asked my pregnant women if I think they are fat I always say no-way you are blooming fabulas. I love your bump it's better than the one's I have had. Please post piccie of bump I want to see why people think your fat. You not fat your just pregnant with a lovely baby staying nice and warm and cosy in there

I was big with both of mine and got sick to death with 'are you sure it's not twins?' I'm sure you look fab!

I'm also someone that can vouch that second babies aren't always bigger - Isabelle was 9lb 4oz and Oliver was a 'smaller' 8lb 8oz (still not small I know!) and was born at 39 weeks (compared to Isabelle's 37 weeks).

Big hugs and try and ignore the comments - you too Mrs H - I promise not to say how small you are on Fri!

Nobheads, next time someone says anything ask them when their's is due

I was mahoosive and had knockers like a right said fred tribute band. Everytime anyone commented I used to reply "I hadn't noticed as I can't see my bump for my boobs"
