Why do random people think it is perfectly okay to make comments on how big I am?? Yesterday a woman told me that at least I don't have to worry about being pregnant in the summer (I'm due in September and when I told her that she just stared at me) and told another woman asked when I was due and then just said, "wow, you have all summer to go?" I am NOT that big. I just had an OB appt and I made them measure my bump after they weighed me. I am completely in the normal range and I still work out so I've only gained in my stomach and chest. I'm so annoyed at all these comments! [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

LOL! I had someone tell me they thought I was going to give birth any day and I was just over 6 months! I thought it was funny. Just don't let it get to you. People are idiots [ Reply | More

OP - I also had a guy tell me that surely I was going to have a baby in July or August (b/c he knows way more than my OB). You are right - people are idiots. [ Reply | More

because pregnant women fall within the public domain. people feel they have the right to touch you, give you advice, comment on what the future holds for you. I agree. It is very annoying [ Reply | More

I would never actually say anything, but I'm always shocked at how big women get. it just looks alien. I have a picture of myself in my underwear when I was 8 months, and I can't believe how big I was! [ Reply | More

I was the same - just huge at 6 months and total strangers were always saying weird stuff. Just try to smile and ignore it. They're rude but in a way they mean well. And a year from now, everyone will be commenting on how adorable your baby is and how great you look!! [ Reply | More

I'm the same way - I'm due in August and can't walk down the street without a security guard or doorman asking "how are you feeling today?" or making another comment. Even work colleagues, "When ARE you due, again??" So try to enjoy it. You'll get seats on the subway for extra months. Take them! [ Reply | More

I got this too. My fundus (that's right? Its been a while) measured right on target and I'm not a big person. It was just that I carried verrrrry far forward so I looked like I was ready to blow very early. Also showed very early. You are just going to have to learn to laugh about it. Nothing more you can do. I embraced it. I liked being pregnant and just really let hang out. I started getting a kick out of telling people "actually, I've got another couple months" and watching their jaw drop. [ Reply | More
