Big... Huge... About to pop...

[cass86steve]

So I'm 29 weeks and so tired of hearing people tell me how big I am or how huge I'm going to be or how I look like I'm going to pop. Don't people have any tact when talking to prego moms? I'm already a curvy girl when I'm not pregnant and have insecurities about my body, I don't need people telling me every week these rude comments. The worst part is they are people from our church as well as family members, so I definitely can't tell them to eff off as much as I want to... Don't people also realize that pregnancy makes women  more sensitive to certain things about their bodies to begin with? I'm so sick of keeping my mouth shut about it... Anyone else getting annoyed about the things people say and more specifically the way they say it?

I think the one person that bothers me the most is my grandmother-in-law she is a stone cold b word and I can't stand her even when I'm not preggo. I almost wonder if she gets pleasure out of harassing me, I just don't pay attention to her half the time anymore.

I am having twins and people say things to me all the time. The worst is when people talk behind your back and think you can't hear them, I'm sure it's happened to a lot of us. Yesterday two women were talking in line behind me and said "oh my god she's so huge! If I ever got that big I'd beg them to pop me already" I got a little upset, but kept reminding myself how amazing it is that us preggos are creating life inside our bodies. No matter how big or small any of us are, our bodies are incredible and you can't let anyone who can't appreciate that take it away from you.

I think its more annoying that they act like I'm not supposed to get bigger... Um hello I'm pregnant and making people of course I'm going to grow. Do they really have to act so shocked? Jerks...

I'm also overweight to begin with. I am 34+2 and have gained about 32lbs. I went to go meet my mom the other day for lunch and she says oh! You ARE really big. Your cousin (she's an ob) said if you were her patient she wouldn't let you go full term b.c your too big.
Most of it now is swelling and water retention and I know plenty of ppl who have gained A LOT more than I have! I hate hearing it, especially from my family. I am so lucky to have my amazing g husband who tells me everyday how beautiful I still am and tries to .ake me feel better about myself

Just ignore those comments.   It might be awkward for them when you don't reply and maybe they will realize what they said was inappropriate.

Me too and I am 24 weeks. It hurts my feelings when my mom and sister say it, but they clearly don't care one bit about how it makes me feel. Ugh.

It seems as though when women are pregnant it's a pass for people saying whatever they want to you regarding how you look. It's very annoying. I don't have a big bump but I was slightly heavier before this pregnancy but I developed hyperemesis and lost a lot of weight first and second trimester. Now all I get is 'oh you're to skinny'. I didn't do it deliberately but people still make comments, plus before pregnancy I had clear skin whereas now I'm popping out in spots and they're all on my face. Horrible!! My own mother makes comments about it to me now.
They're just eejits and forget how tough pregnancy is without them making daft comments. You're bump will go down when bump is born, you have a very valid excuse for having a belly for crying out loud.

All the time... "Are you sure you aren't having twins?". "By 40 weeks you are going to be HUGE!". "Big baby... Big belly.". My brother in law made a comment today about my husband gaining weight, and looked at me and said " You've gained quite a bit, too, since getting pregnant.". Wrong!  I've actually LOST weight.  I'm down 14 lbs since conception. I'm only 17 Weeks and I am all belly, but that doesn't mean you have to remind me!  I can see it!
