People are seriously stupid, and I'd start saying something a little snappy back to the idiots who feel, for whatever reason, that a pregnant woman's body is public property and an acceptable discussion topic. ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/looking-farther-along-than-you-are#post-1074440 Mon, 09 Sep 2013 13:13:45 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 1074440@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rainbow Sprinkles: I'm sorry :-( Sounds like you're having a rough 2nd pregnancy. But you still look fabulous - I'm jealous that you haven't gained any in your face! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/looking-farther-along-than-you-are#post-1074399 Mon, 09 Sep 2013 13:00:49 +0000 spinningry 1074399@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would just be rude back. You don't say that to a hormonal pregnant woman that probably already feels bad about how she looks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/looking-farther-along-than-you-are#post-1074395 Mon, 09 Sep 2013 12:59:00 +0000 Mrs. Yoyo 1074395@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>YEP. I'm 34 weeks and have looked like I could have the baby anytime probably for the last 10. Just practice your best death glare and move along. So annoying. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/looking-farther-along-than-you-are#post-1074391 Mon, 09 Sep 2013 12:57:47 +0000 avivoca 1074391@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I hate these comments! I went to a show house when I was 29 weeks pregnant and the hostess had the nerve to ask me to not go into labor while I was in the house. I responded with, "I am NOT that far along!" I've been getting these comments a lot as time goes on, but I have a short torso and there is nowhere else for this baby to go but out. It gets annoying having to convey that to everyone. Thank goodness my due date is in 3.5 weeks.</p> <p>From what I've seen in your pictures, you look amazing and have nothing to worry about. People can just be so rude sometimes! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/looking-farther-along-than-you-are#post-1074364 Mon, 09 Sep 2013 12:48:34 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 1074364@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>oh man, if it's people you don't know or have to see again, totally make something up! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/looking-farther-along-than-you-are#post-1074360 Mon, 09 Sep 2013 12:46:37 +0000 Boheme 1074360@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>People are so rude! I've seen your pics, and you look gorgeous! You are all belly. I got the fat face, fat chin(s), the works. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/looking-farther-along-than-you-are#post-1074352 Mon, 09 Sep 2013 12:43:25 +0000 HLK208 1074352@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rainbow Sprinkles: whaaat?!?! No way!!! You are so small in a fit/cute way!!!</p> <p>If it makes you feel better, I was gigantor according to all the comments I got. I went into a furniture store when I was pregnant with E, where a lady so rudely asked if I was carrying twins or triplets. She said I looked like I was going to explode and I responded, "a few months to go". Then she proceeded to ask me when exactly I was due (at that time I had 3 months to go) and she responded, "that's more than a few months. Yikes." So dumb.</p> <p>I just don't get why people have to comment on size? And why some must never shut up about it?! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/looking-farther-along-than-you-are#post-1074271 Mon, 09 Sep 2013 12:12:27 +0000 Smurfette 1074271@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>People are so rude. </p> <p>A friend is getting this all the time she told me. I told her, and I think the case it the same with you, when you are thin, I think that people always think you are bigger then you are cause they are used to you being thin and not having "extra" weight. </p> <p>No doubt that you look fabulous!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/looking-farther-along-than-you-are#post-1074227 Mon, 09 Sep 2013 11:57:04 +0000 oliviaoblivia 1074227@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I so hated these comments! The worst two came from another dad in our prenatal class - it's not like he didn't live with a pregnant woman and know better; and the nurses at L&amp;D. LO was huge though so technically I had a full term sized baby in there from 33 weeks on.<br /> You are such a gorgeous prego, I'm sure they're just jealous! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/looking-farther-along-than-you-are#post-1074198 Mon, 09 Sep 2013 11:45:28 +0000 edelweiss 1074198@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>that's annoying. you should look at them dead in the eye and say: "so you're saying that i'm a whale. thanks." </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/looking-farther-along-than-you-are#post-1074187 Mon, 09 Sep 2013 11:40:14 +0000 MapleMoose 1074187@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep, I got this starting in the second trimester. I gained most of my weight in the second tri and the belly protruded so I got a lot of comments. So fun. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/looking-farther-along-than-you-are#post-1074178 Mon, 09 Sep 2013 11:35:02 +0000 blackbird 1074178@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Tell them you're actually carrying triplets ;)</p> <p>eta: or, "you're looking kind of big yourself, actually!" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/looking-farther-along-than-you-are#post-1074177 Mon, 09 Sep 2013 11:34:28 +0000 HabesBabe 1074177@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This is my 2nd and I have always been overweight-- I lost the "baby weight" from LO#1 but still have this HUGE pouch and I've looked 4 months pregnant for the past year. I'm only 6 weeks and I already look 6 months! The comments are going to suck for sure, but they happen to everyone-- it seems like people don't really realize how pregnant women are supposed to look?</p> <p>Try not to let it get you down! If they are super rude about it, try to have a witty comeback to put them in their place :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/looking-farther-along-than-you-are#post-1074167 Mon, 09 Sep 2013 11:31:57 +0000 runsyellowlites 1074167@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>UGH!</p> <p>I always got huge when pregnant &amp; would get comments like this. People just need to shut up! blegh! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/looking-farther-along-than-you-are#post-1074158 Mon, 09 Sep 2013 11:29:19 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 1074158@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep. That's me. And the comments from people suck.</p> <p>I wouldn't mind if I didn't have to tell people how far along I am EVERY WHERE WE GO only to hear "OMG, I thought you were about to pop!" Or, " Are you sure there's not twins in there?" "Wow, you're so big!"</p> <p>I'm at the point where I just want to lie and say I'm due next week. I am so over the rude comments.</p> <p>/end rant </p>
