staring problems!

Do people stare at any of you because you r pregnant? Today I went out and noticed people kept looking at me and my belly and im just like wtfff did they never see someone be pregnant or what? Why they gotta stare lol I was thinking maybe its because im 4"11 with a baby face and people think im like 15 (because I do get that a lot) but im actually 23 lol does this happen to anyone else

Yes! I'll be 25 in May but look young and I'm not very big. And for some reason I'm always thinking to myself omygosh these people know I have sex... lol I have no idea why I think that way. But I just try to "show off" the wedding ring and think to as if I were talking to somebody, "yea, I'm married, so shove it" lol

I get stared at a lot. Not tryna sound concieted or anything, I think its because im very pretty. Before I even got pregnant I got stared at a lot. I'm pretty use to it. Even though it is annoying.

My partner also notice alot of people staring at me then my belly then me then my belly again lol.. I dont look at people when I go out though so I dont notice.... although when im not pregnant I do stare/look at ladies and ther bellys, I just think its so cute and im so happy for them, when I was trying to get pregnant though id always look and think they are so lucky when will it be my turn.... I wouldn't get so angry at it

Haha I'm so glad I'm not alone in this. I'm 5 feet and I get told daily that I look like I'm 12 but I'm 24, married for 3 almost 4 years now with an 18 month old and 4 months pregnant with our second baby. Im so nervous that when I start to show a lot people will just judge me without knowing me. But I always make sure wearing my wedding ring lol. Sometimes I hate being short.

I was talking about my pregnancy on the phone with my bestie when this little old lady told me I should be ashamed of myself and go home to my mother instead of whoring around. I said "Excuse you... rude much? I'm 25 yrs old and pregnant with my first, married, and own two houses. But thanks for assuming otherwise. That's very Christian of you." And walked off. She was all decked out in gold crosses so I made my own assumption there but she just really ticked me off.

I get stares all the time. I look like I'm suppose to be a freshmen in high school with a pregnant belly cuz I waddle. At work people just think I'm making fun of them or if I ask for help up from a coworker they look like " why does this youngin need help?". It does get frustrating and aggravating a lot. I hate stares and eye contact. I walk and hold my stomach a lot and say ouch. It helps a little bit.

Im 22 and ill be 23 in April, pregnant with my second baby... I too get told almost once daily that Ilook like a "little girl" because ive been 100lbs since 8th grade.. I cant even go to a corner store without someone staring me down... it used to get on my nerves so much because I get nasty looks seeing that my 5 yr old is standing next to me saying mom and then I have this huge belly lol... people probably think wrongly but now i actually got so annoyed by it that I will not hesitate to ask "can I help you?" People act like they have never seen a short thin pregnant person lol

I am 20 years old and pregnant with my third child, and believe me because I was a teen mom people gave me the nastiest look through every. You can either roll your eyes, ignore it, or say something. Haha I always just stare at people on open my eyes are really wide and then smile and say sstaring is rude. I also breastfeed in public without being covered, you won't believe the looks I get when I'm doing that. People are just judgmental, don't take it personally and if you do stand up for yourself and say something it might really change the way somebody acts towards other people. I do it both when I get stared at and when I'm breastfeeding. I've had people mostly women though, come up to me and tell me that I'm a very strong woman for standing up for my rights, and what I believe is wrong.
