The comments that are made when you're pregnant?

I'm 25weeks pregnant, I was fit and athletic before my morning sickness kicked in and had to stop the gym for a while, I haven't put on much of my own fat weight as I can still wear my jeans and button them up of course theyre hipsters. However, I have only been going to the gym about 3 days a week now and my routeen is no where near as intense as it was and Im not 'dieting' as such at the moment.

My problem is that I'm carrying my baby right out in front and every day I get a comment such as 'My god you are huge!' 'you have really popped out so quick Look at you!!' I'm proud to show off my baby but I dont know how to handle the comments I feel like saying 'what do you mean is my a$$ huge or what.' It's not like the comments are 'gee you can see your baby now, you are definatly showing' it's just 'YOU'RE HUGE!'

Is it just me coping these comments?

Did everyone else have this problem or am I just over sensitive?

I just don't understand, prego or not I would NEVER say that to someone

It's ok i get that too, instead of people saying oh look at your baby bump it's big, they just look at me and say "your huge" but it doesnt bother me i know what they mean and i also know that i am carrying my beautiful baby inside.

Dont take it to heart people just say the first thing that pops into their head they dont mean your huge as in fat! and if you do feel a bit intimidated just turn around and say Yes thats what happens when you are carrying a baby!

Congrats on your bub and remember to take it easy and not too mush exercise it's not good for bub!

I was always proud when i started showing,and took those kinds of comments as a compliment. why do you think the comments are bothering you? It's natural to be oversensitive when pregnant because your hormones and body are going through such rapid changes. When i was pregnant with my oldest daughter,if someone even said Hi to me,i would cry,and at times for no reason!

when i was pregnant people use to ask me if i was pregnant with twins or say oh my god your huge or you look like ur gonna pop and it would make me cry. so i decided that i was gonna say when is your butt due cuz its huge

i dont think people say it to be hurtful

but the next time someone says that tell them your not pregnant so they will think that they just insulted a fat person... i did that and this Lady's face turned brite red and she just started apologizing... it was hilarious

I know how you feel. My hubby is in the military and is in south korea. I was 7 months when I came to be with him in korea and before I left home in Georgia everyone said I was going to have a slant eyed baby just because she was going to be born in another country.

Take it with a smile and pride...be proud of your tummy, you've got a little something in the oven in there to be proud of. At least they are not saying, hey fatty, or wow you're fat...that would have pissed me off when I was prego. I think everyone goes through the phase you are in though, and a lot of people either don't know the size/stages of pregnancy when they ask how far along, or are comparing to their history. All you have to say it yep, and it's all right here in the front, which makes it seem like I'm due tomorrow! That will shut them up, or at least make them tell you a story about how they carried. Don't let it get to you though, you are more beautiful now than you ever have been, and you need to show the world that. Good luck!

your being way over sensitive, though it is hard to take comments like that when your full of new emotions and already feeling huge and fat.

People are commenting on your belly not your body. if they say the same thing after you've had the baby....sure take it to heart!

I got the same thing both times I was pregnant, and it wasn't my body they commented on, it was my tummy, once I gave birth no-one said anything...until the next pregnancy.

laugh it off, and be proud to show how amazing a womans body can be!

Have a sense a humour about it as best you can. If it is someone you don't know and have no chance of meeting again just say "Yeah I'm having quads." That ought to make them reconsider. If it is someone you know or live in the same town as you should probably just change the topic or blame it on the baby! "I may be big but you should see the size of the ultrasound!" I started showing straight away and carried out in front too. Its nothing personal, people just have different expectations of what people should look like at certain dates

The comments that are made when you're pregnant?

I was very sensitive and very emotional during my pregnancies too...it's normal. Next time someone says, "you're huge," you just reply, "yeah..I'm big enough to kick your A**" or "Yup...i'm pregnant...what's your excuse for being such a FAT A**?" or "I'd rather be big and pregnant than have a TEENY TINY Little brain like yours."

Just get 'em back way meaner than what they say to you...i know it sounds mean...but you'll feel better knowing that they feel worse...

Congratulations!!!

Most people are proud of their bumps...I know I am. And now that I am 30 weeks and have really popped out people comment on it all the time! I am tall and thin with just a huge bump out the front but from behind you'd be hard pressed to tell I am pregnant so it shocks people I think. I just say..Yeah I know I am...I'm getting there slowly, 10 weeks to go! They can't believe it as they think I am about to have the baby any minute.

Sounds like you might be a touch sensitive as I was with my first baby. My body went from tiny and fit to huge and stretched but believe me...it's all worth it. Try not to take these comments as personal attacks...they are more because people are so happy for you they want to talk to you about it and this is what most people comment on...your size. Until you have your gorgeous baby for them to talk about...it's all about you! As soon as the baby is born, I bet no one comments on your body again....they'll be too busy goo-ing and gaa-ing over your little one.

Best of luck.

Hi Nicky --

People say stupid things because they feel they have to fill the airtime. I try to take it with a bit of humor. For example, I have an anterior placenta and am showing earlier than usual because of it; my mom told a friend I'm 'big as a house' and I said no, not yet, but maybe as big as a bus!

With my first pregnancy (which I lost at 11 weeks), before I told anyone at work I was pregnant, a rumor went around the office that I'd had a boob job (presumably over the weekend). I only found out about this when I caught men AND women staring at my chest. Such people are idiots and should be ignored. (Thank goodness I no longer work there!)

As for your weight, my doctor told me early on that I can lose the weight AFTER the baby comes. Your body is doing what it needs to do, so don't worry about the superficialities people throw your way. Your body may seem big, but your baby is the bigger priority!

i'm 30 weeks, am gaining weight right on schedule, %26amp; i get the smart @ss comments all the time too. i usually say d@mn i didn't know i was supposed to lose weight while i'm pregnant, this is my first pregnancy. or if i notice that they've gained weight, i ask them how far are they/when are they due. it usually shuts them up.
