Mom thinks I need to eat more and asks if I'm starving myself. I'm only 18 weeks and I'm very tall, so uh, yeah, I'm not really going to be big yet! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/annoying-comments-about-bump-size#post-369827 Wed, 31 Oct 2012 12:47:47 +0000 Pink Champagne 369827@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used to get annoyed when people would say, "Oh, you look REALLY tired...."<br /> Um, yes, you would look tired too if you were getting up 17 times a night to pee and couldn't find a comfortable position to sleep in to save your life.<br /> I didn't mind when people would say, "You're so tiny!" or "You're so cute- you're all belly!" because I worked really hard to stay healthy during pregnancy, and also because I have a looooong torso- like tororojo said, more room to hide the baby! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/annoying-comments-about-bump-size#post-369799 Wed, 31 Oct 2012 12:37:17 +0000 tororojo 369799@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>People tell me my bump is small, which doesn't bother me too much but I think it's a stupid thing to say. I'm 5'7", so why is it surprising that my bump doesn't poke out as much as someone who is 5 inches shorter? I have more room to hide the baby. ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/annoying-comments-about-bump-size#post-369770 Wed, 31 Oct 2012 12:30:45 +0000 wahine08 369770@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't normally make comments about the bump, except asking how mom is feeling. I just don't understand why people say the things they do... it's like they don't think things through and what they say could be hurtful or inappropriate.</p> <p>@mamamoose - I don't like that comment. It's uncomfortable and rubs me the wrong way for whatever reason!</p> <p>@sorrycharlie - omg I would go off like a lunatic if someone told me that! So rude!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/annoying-comments-about-bump-size#post-369758 Wed, 31 Oct 2012 12:26:53 +0000 chopsuey 369758@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm huge now and I was huge when I was pregnant with LO.<br /> I got a lot of "are you having twins" questions.. lol.<br /> Comments about my size don't really bother me since I know I'm large and in charge. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/annoying-comments-about-bump-size#post-369748 Wed, 31 Oct 2012 12:25:20 +0000 sorrycharlie 369748@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>always how tiny I was! people even told me I was starving my baby.</p> <p>she was 7lb10oz so nope..didn't starve her!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/annoying-comments-about-bump-size#post-369744 Wed, 31 Oct 2012 12:24:20 +0000 MamaMoose 369744@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>There is one woman in my office who KEEPS telling me I don't even look pregnant. I'm almost 37 weeks! And my baby is measuring a little small. Not the point of worry, but still on the small side. And I just wish she would SHUTUP because it's starting to make me feel bad. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/annoying-comments-about-bump-size#post-369736 Wed, 31 Oct 2012 12:22:30 +0000 glimmersnaps 369736@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When I was pregnant with DS, I was big. Really, really big. The comments would go something like this:</p> <p>THEM- You must be ready to pop any day now!<br /> ME- I hope not, I'm only 7 months pregnant.</p> <p>I also got a lot of: Are you sure you're not having twins?!</p> <p>Now, I work in a baby boutique so a lot of my customers are pregnant or recently postpartum (sometimes they show up without that newborn and it's easy to think they are still preggers!) I try to avoid making any comment about how they look-- big or small-- because I remember feeling so aggravated about it. </p> <p>What annoying comments have you gotten about pregnancy appearance? </p>
