Insecure about my belly....

I'm gonna vent for a second, not because I want sympathy but just to get it off my chest because if I don't I might explode! Lol

Okay! First thing first. When you look a pregnant person you have to take into consideration their hight and body shape. Because that is what determines how they carry the baby. I'm 5ft tall. 60inches. My torso is like 2ft long! Of course the baby is gonna poke out more because it's not like she can grow up into my neck!!!

I used to be a size 3, and weight has always been a huge thing in my life. Even though I know the weight I'm gaining is normal and healthy for my baby girl, I'm still uncomfortable and awkward with my new body, and the comments I get make me feel like I'm just a huge elephant walking around or something.

I'm sick of getting comments like:
"Thats gonna be a big baby."
"She's gonna be a basketball player."
"Wow, I never poked out that much."
"Delivery is gonna be hard."
"Are you sure there isn't two?"

Okay, I'm done venting.

I know exactly how you feel. I have cried a many days because of the hurtful comments ppl make. I actually dont talk to some of my husbands family because all I would here you are going to have a ten pound baby, you look like you are already dropping and im not due till oct 4. But I have always struggled with what ppl think about how I look. Now I say whatever because we are growing babies and once its over we will have a precious healthy baby in iur arms. Even pregnant ppl like to talk about others knowing they dont like it but ppl just need to think before they speak. We are all beautiful women when we are carrying children. Thats all that matter.

I feel for you! But im all the way at the other end with that one. I keep getting comments like " are you sure your even pregnant?" " Is the baby normal and everything" and "wow your so small" "im bigger than you, and im not even pregnant"   I find it extremely frustrating! If you usually don't comment on a womans body, what gives them the right to just because a woman is pregnant!!?!
