Insecure about my belly...

[Emmalynn29]

I'm gonna vent for a second, not because I want sympathy but just to get it off my chest because if I don't I might explode! Lol

Okay! First thing first. When you look a pregnant person you have to take into consideration their hight and body shape. Because that is what determines how they carry the baby. I'm 5ft tall. 60inches. My torso is like 2ft long! Of course the baby is gonna poke out more because it's not like she can grow up into my neck!!!

I used to be a size 3, and weight has always been a huge thing in my life. Even though I know the weight I'm gaining is normal and healthy for my baby girl, I'm still uncomfortable and awkward with my new body, and the comments I get make me feel like I'm just a huge elephant walking around or something.

I'm sick of getting comments like:
"Thats gonna be a big baby."
"She's gonna be a basketball player."
"Wow, I never poked out that much."
"Delivery is gonna be hard."
"Are you sure there isn't two?"

Okay, I'm done venting.

Im having the opposite problem and it is extremely frustrating. Im about 33 weeks and im still hardly showing. People ask if there is actually a baby in there or if the due date is wrong. All I want is to have a baby bump. I'm 5'9 and was 180 pre pregnancy.  I want to take maternity pictures but I don't feel like there is anything to show.

I'm 35 weeks and trust me I have heard it all. I'm only 5'1 I hate the comments they **** me off. But at the end of the day we are pregnant so people are going to make little stupid jokes or whatever they call it but when they get disrespectful that is different

I am exactly the same. Im 20 weeks and carrying twins also 5ft 2 and I know it will all be worth it but im feeling so disgusting atm

Im 5'4 and was 95 pounds before I was pregnant. Now im 110 pounds. This is the biggest ive ever been but im not worried! Im fat now but after I have my baby i know ill lose the weight and be a size 0 again in no time... and if not.. oh well. Id be happy at any size. Youll be proportional again in no time. Dont sweat it.

Hang in there! Look on pinterest.  There's some great comeback ideas to those comments. It made me feel better just to read them. :)

Ive been in the same boat. Im 5'2 and weighed 121 pounds when I got pregnant....I really hated the comments at first but now I just joke back to the point where they are so uncomfortable they dont say anything anymore lol like my grandpa calls me tubby or donald duck (because I waddle) and thats when I bite back with im only fat for a few months your old everyday. Or people ask how im doing and I say im feeling fat and sassy. Embrace the belly and the comments dont hurt anymore
