LBee on ""You look huge!"" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/you-look-huge#post-1808850 Mon, 11 Aug 2014 08:13:37 +0000 LBee 1808850@https://boards.hellobee.com/ You look huge is the pregnant equivalent of saying you look tired... just plain rude and unnecessary. I know a lot of women feel incredibly beautiful when they are pregnant, but a lot of people don't. As a person in the later camp, please don't point out my whale ass.

Ugh. edelweiss on ""You look huge!"" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/you-look-huge#post-1808836 Mon, 11 Aug 2014 08:08:49 +0000 edelweiss 1808836@https://boards.hellobee.com/ a friend said that when i was about 8 months pregnant, and it kinda rubbed me the wrong way but i know she meant it as "wow you are really pregnant!". but for those comments about hips spreading, you look like you're having twins, that kind of thing--it's too much and inappropriate. what is wrong with people. Adira on ""You look huge!"" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/you-look-huge#post-1808731 Mon, 11 Aug 2014 07:28:21 +0000 Adira 1808731@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I'm only 21 weeks and was told by a neighbor that I looked huge, looked 9 months along, looked like I must be having twins, etc. It sucks. :( Cole on ""You look huge!"" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/you-look-huge#post-1808712 Mon, 11 Aug 2014 07:16:02 +0000 Cole 1808712@https://boards.hellobee.com/ People just shock me sometimes! I finally got my first peanut gallery comment over the weekend, which I am going to take as a "compliment"-- my uncle saw me for the first time pregnant at almost 8 months and said "wow, by the pictures we saw in the beginning we thought you would be totally bottom heavy by now!" Gee, thanks? Mrs. M on ""You look huge!"" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/you-look-huge#post-1808703 Mon, 11 Aug 2014 07:11:45 +0000 Mrs. M 1808703@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I loved the comments about how big I was after my daughter was already born! ("Wow, you've lost weight. You looked 40-weeks along when you were only 30-weeks along at your shower. You were huge!")....sigh! The whole time this conversation was going on I was repeating,"if you can't say something nice, don't say it at all" in my head! People need to zip it! sunshinemama on ""You look huge!"" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/you-look-huge#post-1808546 Mon, 11 Aug 2014 01:32:03 +0000 sunshinemama 1808546@https://boards.hellobee.com/ People are the worst with this stuff. I was like...6 months pregnant when I started having people say "jeez, must be getting close!"... I wonder how many people would go up to someone who ISN'T pregnant and say..."woah, you're huge, can I rub your belly?" LOL. birdofafeather on ""You look huge!"" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/you-look-huge#post-1808410 Sun, 10 Aug 2014 21:58:39 +0000 birdofafeather 1808410@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @Dandelion: "thanks! you look huge, too!" :grin: :grin: crying laughing! youboots on ""You look huge!"" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/you-look-huge#post-1808384 Sun, 10 Aug 2014 21:41:23 +0000 youboots 1808384@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Hips and spreading should not be in the same sentence in casual conversation, IMO, but hey.....

I'm only 21 weeks and people have told me I'm huge or said I'm so much bigger than last time. Her thanks!

Today was a man who said, any day now right? I told him I still have another month, he was liken, "DAMN, but you're so huge!" Thanks butt hole. lilteacherbee on ""You look huge!"" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/you-look-huge#post-1808250 Sun, 10 Aug 2014 19:43:20 +0000 lilteacherbee 1808250@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @namaste: Yep, the same person told me I wasn't allowed to lift my arms above my head or the umbilical cord would wrap around the baby's neck. Pretty much just rolled my eyes at her for 9 months straight :silly: artsyfartsy on ""You look huge!"" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/you-look-huge#post-1808183 Sun, 10 Aug 2014 18:42:58 +0000 artsyfartsy 1808183@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @Dandelion: Ha!! turquoisemama on ""You look huge!"" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/you-look-huge#post-1808094 Sun, 10 Aug 2014 16:21:40 +0000 turquoisemama 1808094@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @cmomma17: Someone told me that my hips were spreading too!! I thought it was so bizarre. Like how did they notice that?? It was a man too, one of my coworkers. I feel like I've been saying this a lot lately, some people have no boundaries.

I got asked that by a dad in our birth class. The teacher chewed him out. knittylady on ""You look huge!"" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/you-look-huge#post-1808043 Sun, 10 Aug 2014 15:08:17 +0000 knittylady 1808043@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Lovely. I'm getting a lot of, "It HAS to be any day now." No. No it doesn't. It IS weeks away though. :meh: namaste on ""You look huge!"" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/you-look-huge#post-1808032 Sun, 10 Aug 2014 14:54:58 +0000 namaste 1808032@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @lilteacherbee: I would not have rolled my eyes hard enough at that comment. People say the stupidest things. So sorry you have to deal with them. stargal on ""You look huge!"" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/you-look-huge#post-1808005 Sun, 10 Aug 2014 14:21:27 +0000 stargal 1808005@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Yup I get a lot of this. Got asked yesterday of I was having twins by another pregnant woman :shocked: LAZB on ""You look huge!"" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/you-look-huge#post-1807984 Sun, 10 Aug 2014 13:49:18 +0000 LAZB 1807984@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I got that a lot during my first pregnancy. I anticipate getting it a lot this time too. It's definitely a stupid thing for people to say, but people tend to say a lot of stupid things, so I try to not get too offended. lilteacherbee on ""You look huge!"" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/you-look-huge#post-1807959 Sun, 10 Aug 2014 13:29:13 +0000 lilteacherbee 1807959@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Wow, those comments are so annoying . @cmomma17: Haha a coworker told me she could tell I was pregnant because I was "spreading." I was 5 weeks. :meh: wonderstruck on ""You look huge!"" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/you-look-huge#post-1807953 Sun, 10 Aug 2014 13:25:40 +0000 wonderstruck 1807953@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Ughhh I hate these comments! I get them all the time, so it made my day yesterday when I was at a cousin's birthday party and got the opposite. I was talking to my cousin's step-mom and said something about L not being an only child come October, and she looked confused for a brief moment before looking at my stomach and exclaiming, "Oh my goodness, I didn't even realize until I looked carefully! You look amazing!" Then she had to go and ruin it by adding, "And are you having a girl this time? Having one of each is so nice!" cmomma17 on ""You look huge!"" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/you-look-huge#post-1807946 Sun, 10 Aug 2014 13:21:54 +0000 cmomma17 1807946@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Not cool. Someone told me my hips were spreading once. Gee thanks for noticing?! swedishfish on ""You look huge!"" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/you-look-huge#post-1807942 Sun, 10 Aug 2014 13:17:36 +0000 swedishfish 1807942@https://boards.hellobee.com/ People are such jerks. Mrs. Jump Rope on ""You look huge!"" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/you-look-huge#post-1807933 Sun, 10 Aug 2014 13:10:01 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 1807933@https://boards.hellobee.com/ My cousin is having a baby four days before me (both scheduled sections). Someone just told her she's huge! Let's categorize that under "stuff you don't say to a woman who is 9 months pregnant in the middle of summer". I've been told I'm huge, too, so this really rubbed me the wrong way. And I've gotten waaaay too many "did you have that baby yet?!" text messages in the last week.
