My favorite was when people would ask when are you due expecting me to say next month and I'd say five months from now. Short short torso and jumbo sized babies. It was a spectacle.

People act shocked when I tell them my due date and most definitely say I'm not going to make it until then. I'm so sick of people commenting on my body. Leave me alone people. I'm pregnant what do you expect! They act as if I don't see myself naked everyday. I'm aware that I have a large belly!

Thankfully that co-worker is no longer with the company. Maybe I do look like a whale when I'm 39 weeks, but I earned my whale status because I'm MAKING A PERSON.

JK, but I do think its pretty damn amazing that they do. I look up to women like you!

I'm so slow its embarrassing. We live in a big city and when I'm about to cross the street at a major intersection I have gauge whether I think I'll make it or I should wait for the next one lol avivoca on "Did you get the look?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-get-the-look#post-2512965 Fri, 01 Apr 2016 13:34:26 +0000 avivoca 2512965@https://boards.hellobee.com/ YES. A coworker said that they would have to follow me around with towels to make sure my water didn't break all over the floor. She also asked me if I was tired of being fat. When I was 29 weeks, someone at a show house asked me to please try to hold off labor while I was walking through the house. She was a B****.

I'm so happy today is my last WOH day until mat leave. People have been really concerned labor is imminent and have so many questions about the baby and birth. pachamama on "Did you get the look?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-get-the-look#post-2512943 Fri, 01 Apr 2016 13:23:49 +0000 pachamama 2512943@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I got the look when I would exercise. People seemed genuinely shocked that a pregnant person exercises. Caly on "Did you get the look?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-get-the-look#post-2512936 Fri, 01 Apr 2016 13:19:23 +0000 Caly 2512936@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Ugh. I got the look all the time. I was all belly with twins and since I wasn't a big person to begin with, it was a sight...I was huge. And towards the end I was a beached whale that could barely walk. Mostly I ignored it, but if I was feeling feisty I'd give them the look back. littlebear16 on "Did you get the look?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-get-the-look#post-2512934 Fri, 01 Apr 2016 13:18:53 +0000 littlebear16 2512934@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I got this all the time when I was pregnant with my daughter. I also look pretty young. Sometimes I swear people were looking at my hands to see if I had a wedding ring! Some people just don't understand pregnancy. They seem to think a baby just randomly comes anytime without warning.

I'm a teacher and my leave starts next Wednesday, but the looks I get feel like "what is she even doing here still?!" Cherrybee on "Did you get the look?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-get-the-look#post-2512892 Fri, 01 Apr 2016 12:47:19 +0000 Cherrybee 2512892@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Oh yes. Everywhere I go, people ask when I'm due and then act shocked or say "you wont go that long". I had to go into work today for a meeting (I've been on maternity leave for three weeks) and there were a lot of comments about fetching towels; someone actually exclaimed "you're massive" when she saw me (I replied "so are you, you fat cow" :happy: ) akcoffeebean on "Did you get the look?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-get-the-look#post-2512878 Fri, 01 Apr 2016 12:37:29 +0000 akcoffeebean 2512878@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @Autumnmama79: I'm a cranky pregnant lady! Usually I can ignore it, but every now and then my tempter gets the best of me! Autumnmama79 on "Did you get the look?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-get-the-look#post-2512858 Fri, 01 Apr 2016 12:15:29 +0000 Autumnmama79 2512858@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @akcoffeebean: I'm lol-ing that you've asked people if they needed something :silly: Thats awesome. Sorry about the crutches! That must make it so much harder to lug around the baby belly. akcoffeebean on "Did you get the look?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-get-the-look#post-2512849 Fri, 01 Apr 2016 12:10:52 +0000 akcoffeebean 2512849@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @Autumnmama79: I get it too! I'm petite, all belly and on crutches. So I'm super conspicuous. I've gotten pretty good at ignoring the states but it's annoying. I stare back until people look away and a few times I've just flat out asked if they needed something. Autumnmama79 on "Did you get the look?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-get-the-look#post-2512783 Fri, 01 Apr 2016 11:22:13 +0000 Autumnmama79 2512783@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Sometimes I feel like a freak of science when people look at my giant belly. I can almost see strangers jaws hitting the floor. I know that on my little frame my belly looks extra large but the stares are kind of annoying and it makes me want to stay home and not go out in public anymore - which obvs isn't an option but thats how I feel sometimes! Anyone else?
