Feeling huge

Im due oct 21st, so im 29 weeks now. Within the last 3 weeks i have had countless people comment on how big i am or how big a baby im gonna have. I think what gets to me most is the look on their faces when they find out my due date is so far off. Everytime my confidence level drops and i feel aweful about myself. Ugh why do people have to be so rude sometimes.

Well my little guy arrived oct 12th! And to my surprise weighed in at 9lbs 8oz! So i ended uo having a big baby! My first was only 8lbs. I was 38 wks 5 days, and was scheduled for a csection that wednesday the 14th. He obviously had other plans :)

I have had people say I'm huge and I look like I'm about to "pop" since 18 weeks! It's probably because I'm short and I have a small midsection. But it's been so annoying! I have an average size baby (perfectly average for her size for 32 weeks). People are just so mean and don't understand that every woman has different belly sizes at different points of pregnancy. I saw an article about Kim Kardashian and she took a photo of her naked pregnant and said she isn't faking her pregnancy because she used to be told she was too small to be pregnant and now they are saying she's too fat to be pregnant. I know I liked that she said that because it made me proud of my body, I may have a big tummy now, but there is a baby in there and sometimes I may feel fat, but I am lucky to have my girl and that she is healthy.

I probably shouldn't have been soo mean but I had a lady who didn't even ask to touch my belly and she just started to rub it and asked me why I was due I told her October and she said omg but ur huge and I replied by touching her belly and asking her when she was due. She gave me a shocked looked and told me I was being rude and I asked what was the difference between what she did and what I did. She walked away. I'm not saying ro be rude but u have the right to ask people to stop being so rude. Lol

Same thing with me. I'm also due the 21st of October. I dint think people realize what they are saying half the time. With my first baby I want showing till almost 6.5 months and now it looks like I can pop at any moment. I just went to my chiropractor and he said wow you are due in a 2-3 weeks right? I said no not till October and he goes ooh I must have a bad memory and I said me too.

Everyone keeps telling me my due date must be wrong because of how "huge" I am... that I have a 9 month belly instead of a 7 month.. people just don't understand that we are hormonal and that's really the last thing we need or want to be hearing.. I usually just laugh with them then complain to my husband..

Yes! I am due 10/23, and I had a woman the other day say to me, "so any day now, huh?!" Lol.

I just said, "it looks like it bc this baby is huge, but I'm not due til October!"

I got a shocked face, but it doesn't bother me. It actually makes me feel a little better because some people make me feel like I am crazy when I complain about how big this child is already! I just take it the other comments as people validating my giant, HEALTHY, child ;) lol

I've been told that for the past 3 weeks and I'm also 29 weeks. I wish people would keep things to themselves it's so rude! I have been told "You must be having twins" "youre gonna pop any second" "they must have gotten your due date wrong" "that's gonna be a huge baby" I've heard it all. It really upset me at first and I would cry to my husband and felt really insecure. But everyone carries differently and I learned to ignore the comments and shrug it off. I just let people think I'm farther along and use it to my advantage.  :)

I have been experiencing the same thing! I all of a sudden popped and I'm due oct 22. I feel very heavy and my tummy is so stretched! Everyone is saying I look SO pregnant and I had a neighbor say, "oh when are you due?" I told him the end of October. He said "wow! You are the same size as my daughter and she is due in a few weeks!" Ha, Made me feel real great!
