Ahhhh...public opinion--both fickle and annoying! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mixed-messages#post-66507 Fri, 03 Feb 2012 11:32:28 +0000 tequiero21 66507@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yeah, i had LOTS of people tell me i looked tiny... since i'm expecting twins. and i had a few people tell me i looked HUGE because i'm having twins. lol. so which is it! </p> <p>right now, i feel HUMONGOUS! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mixed-messages#post-66417 Fri, 03 Feb 2012 10:00:44 +0000 yoursilverlining 66417@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So far, everyone comments on how big I am (which, I am!). One of my co-workers though insists I am “tiny”, which confuses me since literally everyone else thinks I’m huge. I get the “having twins?” question a lot, and one co-worker said I didn’t look like I would go all the way to my due date because I’m already so big. I really didn’t have anything to say to that.</p> <p>Just yesterday one of my male co-workers said it looked like I was limping, and asked if I was ok. I was like, yesssss, just pregnant! I’m not limping, I’m waddling! ;-D </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mixed-messages#post-66360 Fri, 03 Feb 2012 07:05:04 +0000 Rubies 66360@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When I was 9 months pregnant, I had people (strangers, sales people, etc.) say things like, "...But you look so small! You look like you're 6-months pregnant! You're going to have a tiny baby!" And that's not what anyone wants to hear! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mixed-messages#post-66357 Fri, 03 Feb 2012 06:40:33 +0000 pastemoo 66357@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LOL&gt; I get the same. You're getting huge! I can hardly tell you're pregnant!<br /> I've decided baby must be made of dark matter, so he's super heavy but small. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mixed-messages#post-66112 Thu, 02 Feb 2012 20:06:45 +0000 jennylynn 66112@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I get this all the time too. It's confusing, not to mention rude. I wish everyone would just say "Oh you look good" and leave it at that. I hate the "when are you due? Ohhhh and you still have a ways to go" comments. Excuse me...I'm 29 weeks, will 11 left. Yeah I'm big, but I should be at this point. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mixed-messages#post-66086 Thu, 02 Feb 2012 19:48:55 +0000 chopsuey 66086@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@artbee: Everyone thought I was having twins. -.- </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mixed-messages#post-66079 Thu, 02 Feb 2012 19:44:41 +0000 heffalump 66079@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I remember way before I was pregnant I saw my pregnant neighbor and she was huge. I thought she was due any day (and stupid enough to tell her that) and she was only 6 months along, if that. </p> <p>I got my bad karma for saying something to her, because people always asked me if I was due any day when I wasn't even close, of if I was having twins. People don't know any better until they go through it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mixed-messages#post-66077 Thu, 02 Feb 2012 19:37:53 +0000 mediagirl 66077@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lol. I haven't had anyone tell me I'm huge yet, thankfully. I'm not looking forward to the third trimester when I'm sure I'll be a cow, though... </p> <p>Just remember, everyone just has to have an opinion. Be hankfully for the people who don't say anything at all! :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mixed-messages#post-66071 Thu, 02 Feb 2012 19:22:52 +0000 chopsuey 66071@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No one told me I was small. :P But yeah. I don't make comments about the size of bellies anymore after going through it. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mixed-messages#post-66039 Thu, 02 Feb 2012 18:35:13 +0000 Clementine 66039@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The thing that I find the most annoying about being pregnant is how everyone has an opinion about how big or small you are. Within a 24 hr period, I was told I was tiny to HUGE. It's just plain annoying! I know folks aren't trying to be mean but it's maddening when everyone has an opinion when I'm not asking for their input on my weight. </p>
