carrying big

I keep having people in public (total strangers!) Saying I look like I'm ready to pop any day now. I still have 2 months to go. I feel so awkward and don't know how to react to the comments. And it's making me feel huge! Anyone else carrying big? How did you respond to comments?

I would have responded with a comment like, "So is your fat head!"
I find comments like that unacceptable and invasive. Some people should be put back in their place

Well sometimes when they comment about looking like I'm due soon and I say not for 2 more months they act/look surprised. Some even have the nerve to tell me I'm to big and I should watch my weight. I'm it makes me mad because I'm not overweight and I'm right on track according to my doctor. I know I LOOK big because I'm short in the torso and I'm narrow in the shoulders and hips. For them to comment how much bigger I'll get or how hard of a time I'll have is just really crossing a line. I've even been told I should be checked twice for twins. It makes me not want to leave the house because it's literally a daily occurrence. Sometimes multiple times a day. I've NEVER commented on a woman like that, I know better.

I'm having the opposite problem... 3 and a half months to go and I have ppl saying I'm not showing at all. As a ftm, I want to be showing. These comments are meant to be compliments I'm sure, but I'd rather they just kept it to themselves...

People tend to just say things just to say them. You're probably not even that big. I heard that with all of my pregnancies and it never phased me. I'll just laugh and say I hope I do just not right now. Your pregnant and getting bigger is a good thing.

I have been told I am getting big that also that my baby boy is low. My fire date is end of April. I know how you feel. I just try to think to myself, the doctor said I'm healthy and the baby is healthy and that everything is on track. But it still songs every now and then
