As long as you and your baby are healthy forget about people's comments. It can be annoying. I was told I'm too big. They assume they know what size we should be during pregnancy.

I'm experiencing the opposite right now. I ran into a neighbor the other day who when I told her I was only 4 months (exactly 16 weeks) along, she said "Four months?!"  and tried to rub my belly lol. I kind of wish I wasn't showing yet, it gives you room to grow. Have this image of me toppled over on my side like a drunk penguin by 6 months lol. :)

I know what you mean. I didn't 'show' until well into my pregnancy, around 7 months and even when I delivered I could easily hide that I was pregnant. (I also lost weight while pregnant due to extreme nausea/vomiting) You know the truth and that's all that matters.

I know some ladies don't show until 6 months... I wasn't showing a thing and one night just sort of popped out that was a 5 months.  I wouldn't worry about it.

You shouldn't be. You'll show when you do - all pregnancies are different, and how large you get is dependent on that particular one. Just ignore them.
