Peoples comments

If one more person comments on how “tiny” I am I’m going to spazz out on them. I’m almost 30 weeks and baby’s measuring where he should be. It’s so annoying and triggering, I carried my daughter the same way. Can we normalize everyone’s carries a pregnancy differently. Like wtf

Whenever I say I feel so big etc everyone responds with “oh youre so tiny” or “you dont look big” and it’s always feels like people are trying to negate that I feel so big because I look tiny. I’m sure it’s them trying to make me feel better but it’s like why is the response to always minimize what someone’s saying? I’m only 5’1” 103lbs pre pregnancy. So yes for me this feels like a lot because it’s a lot compared to what I’m use to.


Lol guess I had some feelings there that needed to come out. But yes let’s normalize every bump is different and perfect how it is ����

same with how big you are. I’m like listen Linda! I know I am big you do not have to remind me. Be on your way and leave my belly alone. It’s measuring where it should be and so is my baby so good bye!

Same. I know I’m not that big yet. But I’m sure I’ll get there.

I feel huge though!! Especially when I eat anything. Just so much pressure. I feel like I’m bursting at the seams.

Also, it appears he doesn’t like to be squished at all. Because if I eat or have a full bladder he kicks the crap out of me to punish me for crowding him. Ugh. Just so uncomfortable.

Oh my gosh same! The other day my mom’s friend said “oh is this your daughter? The one that gave birth?” & my mom answered back with “she’s still pregnant, she doesn’t show much & she’s due July” ������ and others just say that compared to other women I’m smaller which also had me worried at the beginning but he’s measuring just fine:)

@busybeemomma2,

yes, it’s very very irritating but I try not to let it bother me but it’s like I was at work today and one of the new hires was mentioning how she didn’t realize I was pregnant & you should have seen her face when I said 7 months. Like it’s easier to not look that big in certain shirts….

That’s true, some shirts can make the bump less noticeable �� It’s also the “he’s probably going to be a small baby” comments that I get that make me feel annoyed. Sometimes big things come in small packages & even if baby were small, as long as he’s healthy is all that matters ���� we’re doing just fine momma ����

@oken22,

this!! I can’t help but take it as an insult when someone tells me they can’t even tell I am pregnant. I try to ignore it, but man! Not helpful!


I work at a hospital so I have a lot of interaction with older/elderly people who do not mind giving their opinion AT ALL. Half of them say “wow you are about to pop” and the other half will say “you don’t even look pregnant!”


People are just clueless when it comes to pregnant women. I try my best to ignore the comments although sometimes it does get super annoying!!


I think a lot of people have in their

This is my third pregnancy and I’ve come to the conclusion that nothing anyone says will ever be the “right” thing to say to a pregnant woman. It’s mostly small talk and they mean no harm by it. I get told how tiny I am all the time or by family how big I am because they’re used to a smaller me. All that matters is you and your baby are healthy.

I personally am flattered when people tell my I look small for being 32 weeks ����‍♀️. But I also am very insecure about my pregnancy body, so I guess it’s slightly uplifting to know in others eyes I’m not as huge as I believe I am. I overall just don’t like how I carry, I feel like I look like I’m fat versus pregnant. I’ve suffered from BDD for a while now though, being pregnant just makes it increasingly worse.
