I hate when I get rude customers at work. A lot of the regulars know I'm expecting anyday now and always tell me how small I am for being 36 weeks. The dumb ones ask "how long do you have left" I tell them and get the same "wow are you having twins" and I look down like really. I got that from a guy yesterday and it doesn't really bother me. The comments from women are what bother me the most.
I've only gained 9lbs out of the 40lbs I lost bc of the horrible morning sickness. I think that's pretty damn good and to still be able to fit into normal jeans, I'm all belly at 36+2 :)

Some people don't know how to keep their mouths shut from making ignorant comments, some people are actually clueless and just curious and then you have nice people. I just try not to let their comments bother me and when they're smart ***** I come right back with a smart *** comment and a smile on my face.

Don't take them too personal I have gained probably over twenty lbs now and I'm only 22 weeks and 4 days and at 20 weeks I had gained 19lbs when I went to see my DR.
before getting pregnant I would call myself an average sized woman at my height most if not ALL my weight I've gained has been in my tummy I hated it at first and that could be because I'm a FTM but now I'm beginning to enjoy it as I think about how I want my little man to be healthy and the fact that it's all stomach could mean that we'll go down very fast and not have so much trouble getting our bodies back!!!!

how far along are you? Some people just start showing a lot sooner than other, some people just don't know when to be quiet.

Im the opposite people cant tell im pregnant at all unless I wear a tight shirt. It ***** when someone who doesn't know im pregnant asks me to do something or is wondering why I left to use the restroom 5 times in an hour. Or if I drop something and my boyfriend isnt there to pick it up and I have to bend all weird people give me strange looks and I just feel like yelling IM PREGNANT DONT LOOK AT ME LIKE THAT lol
