Feel like crap

I went to motherhood to buy a few things. The lady asked how far along I was. I told her I was four months and she was like, "You are so huge! Oh my God."  How rude is that. I've only gained five and I don't even think I'm showing that much.

I'm glad I'm not the only one. I think people say rude comments, knowing they're rude because in some way their jealous

A girl at work has been saying things like that to me for a while. She also said "your belly is so big" which didn't bother me until she added "but it's not just your belly that's growing."but rude. I just try and ignore it. My doctor says that im doing fine. Im 6 1/2 months but look like im 8

I was get compliments like ”omg are you having twins” or ”when are the babies due.” Im only having one a lil boy, but im so use to peoples comments I just play a long with it. Im 29+3 days so I could imagine how much bigger im going to get. At least my baby is healthy.

Oh I hate mean people! This doctor I went to asked me what adoption agency I was going through... I told her I wasn't and she asked if I was seriously planning on keeping a baby at 17. I am married. We have been trying to get pregnant for a while. I was not happy with her! But now I have a good doc :).

I have the exact opposite issue. They say how far along are you... Like 3 months I say no 6. It makes me worry there's something wrong with me... Dr says everything is perfect though.

I went over a month ago to the shoe store and the clerk asked when I was due when I told her May she says OMG I don't think you're going to make it, I just smile rub my belly and say yeah momma has healthy babies. I don't let it bug me I do get huge but my hubby says I'm sexy so that's all that matters.

(sorry hit post before I finished my thought) I went to wal-mart today to pick up some snacks for the kids, and I got dizzy so I got one of those granny carts (i know, I know..shame on me!) and as I was sitting in the check-out rubbing my belly through a contraction, one woman stopped, her eyes popped out and her jaw dropped and she goes "oh my gosh, are you only having ONE?" and I chuckled and said "yep, just the one" and she goes "wait, let me guess...little boy?" and I said "you got it!" and she goes "I just want to let you know that you have the prettiest belly I've ever seen..even if it's the size of a small planet, you are one gorgeous mommy".

So sometimes I think people just forget to include the compliment behind the rude comment...but people almost always mean well <3

I always take it as a compliment when people look shocked or make a comment like "wow is there only one" or "you are HUGE!"...

the way I see it is...I must look so healthy and tiny that having a huge belly is a visual shock, so if they're making a comment about it..what they really mean is "you're so tiny but your belly is so BIG, wow!" and even if that's not what they mean..I take it that way ;-).

Check out the bump pictures I just uploaded if you want to see someone with a ridiculous bump...I can't even look in the mirror without laughing anymore because I'm so disproportionate! but that's ok...I grow big placentas, lots of healthy fluid, and nice healthy babies..if people comment about how big my belly is, I know what they really mean is "you're a great baby-maker, mama"...even if they don't know themselves that's what they mean ;-).

*hugs*

Aw thats unfortunate. I'm sorry to hear that she was so insensitive. You would think that someone working a store selling clothes and stuff to pregnant women (with surging horomones) would know to be more sensitive and encouraging.
