big belly

I'm 31 weeks, so Of course not due till June. I keep hearing comments like, "ooh not much longer now huh? You look like it could be any minute now!" :/ I'm not a very big person, and I was pretty slim pre pregnancy, so I look like I'm all belly... anyone else? I didn't think I looked that big, although I feel it for sure. This is my first pregnancy. People keep asking if there are two in there lol.

I can totally relate. I knew someone (an 8 month along pregnant woman who was clearly pregnant) who was in line at the supermarket and someone made a comment to her something like "you must be close to your due date. When are you due?" or something like that. She then proceeded to "burst into tears" and looked at them and said, "im not pregnant..." and i guess the look on their face was a mix between horror and embarrassment. They left the line and then she turns to the person in front of her who was watching the whole thing and she laughs and says, "im 8 months." haha. I always wanted to do this when someone made a comment to me but ive never had the nerve.

I guess there is no actualize you are suppose to be. But it is hard to here comments either way. I ways get i can't believe you are 30weeks+ you are so small. I feel like a whale.  Almost done ladies

Omg I'm in the same boat....sometimes all the comments have made me cry! I went home to the DR for my baby shower and ppl there were like oh you came to give birth here? Or you're almost due right? Just this week I got the twins comments from two different ppl at work....a few weeks ago someone even told me my belly was bigger than my work friend, who's a week ahead of me and is carrying twins! Jeez I wish sometimes ppl kept their comments to themselves ugh!

Boca16 I totally know what you mean. I think I clearly look pregnant at 32 weeks as do my friends and family but I feel like when Im in public maybe people just think Im disgustingly overweight only in my belly? Im just assuming this really maybe its just insecurity and no one has said anything to me because its better to be safe than sorry when it comes to assuming a woman is pregnant.

I get sick of people telling me I'm too small to be 31 weeks . I feel like a cow sometimes ! Everyone thinks I'm like 5 months no I'm about to be 8 months n if I'm around food they like here you need more your to small . I eat all day I'm just a small person n my baby's father is a small person as well .

It ***** being a bigger women because noone can tell that ur pregnant im not that big but i had a muffin top before i got pregnant so the bottom of my belly doesn't round out like most women during pregnancy its rather depressing i wish my belly was round i look round at the top but not the bottom. Everyone assumes im jus gaining massive amounts of weight i suppose im 32 weeks 4 days.

I want a big belly, but I'm actually very small when I tell ppl I'm 31 wks they tell me I'm lying all the time. Some ppl think I'm only like 4 months.

I think some ppl just don't know what to say. Yesterday I felt super cute, had on a black dress that makes me look slim, but definitely pregnant (so cute)! A saleswoman asked if I was about to go into labor because I put my hand on my belly while baby was rolling over. Wasn't in pain, just enjoying my little girl's movements. She then proceeded to ask me FIVE times if I was SURE I wasn't having the baby that day. I just made 30wks today! I was thinking, "You work in retail, not a comedy shop, stop trying to make jokes." Ugh! Ppl are just dumb!

I kept getting looks, especially when I say, "Nope! Only one." I got so sick and tired of it that I said something to the last person that made a comment about my size. Don't tell a pregnant woman that she's big and looks like she's having twins. Seriously, manners anyone! I guess saying Congratulations is to difficult for some.

I didn't think I looked overly big,  pregnant obviously but not crazy big yet.  I'm 31 weeks. But in the past week or so I've had several people seem shocked when I tell them it's just one baby in there,  I'm not having twins... Now I feel huge :-(
