Strangers responses

I’m 28 weeks and before pregnancy I was pretty slender. My bump is huge. Measuring way ahead but I know my dates are right. I keep having people in public ask if I’m having twins or commenting that I’m huge and it’s really upsetting. Anyone else in the same boat? How do you respond?

It's my first baby..and I was a size 12 when I conceived. Shared some photos with friends and family recently and they keep commenting my bump is so tiny for 27weeks. I was upset and worried if my weight was impacting my baby's growth & all. My doc said all looks normal and I measure right. So annoying the comments coming from close ones..

Best advice would be to ignore the comments or tell them to shut up. 😂 Guard yourself and your baby.

Yep! I get this daily. Or the “are you sure you still have 9 weeks because I don’t think you’re gonna make it”. 🙄

I had people do that throughout my pregnancy. The best piece of advice I can say is to take it with a grain of salt. If you and baby are healthy, that is all that matters. Our bodies change so much during pregnancy - and everyone is different. My confident momma, you are protecting your little one and they are growing the way they need to ❤️

I also get it a lot! Everyone has a different body and there is no shame on how we each carry our babies.

Girllll don’t I know it ugh! This is my third pregnancy and they say with every pregnancy your body shifts and gets obviously bigger to make room for your ever growing Bebe! I hateeee the comments people say … and you know what I do?! I throw it right back at em! “ oh wow you’re huge!” “ not as huge as you are!” … “ wow are you having twins…?!” “ no but you must be !” “ wow you look miserable “ “ not as miserable as YOUUUU look” and then I smile a smug smile and keep waddling my preggo booty on! I hate how people think they can just say anything and everything to someone that’s pregnant…had a waitress touch my belly so I touched hers lol 😂 she was shocked and I said “ yup that’s how I felt when you touched me unwanted lets keep our hands to ourselves “ be bold , be brave, and advocate for you and you baby mamas!!! We got this!! We are strong 💪🏾!!! Put them in their place cause if their bold enough to say/ touch be bold enough to push back!

@Shelby I love your approach 🤣. I did have a stranger touch my stomach the other day and I looked at them and asked them what they were doing. They said they wanted to feel the baby so I just told them “umm I’m not pregnant”

Yes! I was so small before pregnancy now my bump is huge and so are my boobs!

I get the opposite, however its still very frustrating. Before conceiving I was a size 12. I definitely have gone up a few sizes but because of my body shape, I don’t appear pregnant but instead “fat.” My best advice is to ignore them as their opinion is irrelevant.
