to be be miffed at constantly having to justify how massively pregnant I am!!

[lastnerve]

I'm am expecting I'm just over half way through now.
This pregnancy has been, weird to say the least I put on crazy amounts of weight very early on, even after suffering horrific morning sickness and rushed to hospital with heavy bleeding. , it is getting better now.
By 15 weeks I had an established bump. my midwife other than saying my uterus is high has no concerns.
my previous pregnancy I didn't show until 7 months and was sick slightly more and it didn't wean off until 8 months.
but everytime I see my DM she's like 'you're really high aren't you? why are you soo high?/' I don't know!.
Or asking me if I have my dates right argh, I know she ,means well but I feel hormonal and crazy at being expected to provided an explanation, its bad enough being this huge with attention being drawn to it. (she often does so in a room full of people :'() .

AIBU to just want to scream leave me alone!

'Bollock off, nosy.'

Maybe not to your DM, might cause a row. Explain in a slow patronising way that yes, you do have the dates right, and medical professionals and you yourself might just know better than she does?

I am discovering that being pregnant means that everyone else in the world has an opinion about you/your body/your baby. If you haven't snapped and punched someone I think you're doing very well indeed. I suggest you steer clear of your DM as much as possible for her safety if nothing else. :)

"It's triplets mother, when their father comes back from being on tour with the circus he's taking me away from all this to live with him and his other wife in a yurt. We're going to herd yaks and be blissfully happy for ever"
(That's twice today I've advised someone to say this line to their mother )

LOL argh its aggravating. She put on well over 3 stone with me I dunno why she is picking on me.

I am quite overweight and she likes to bring it up quite loudly, I think its quite unpleasant.
As much as she probably doesn't mean it like that, she is very helpful does alot for me and dc, which makes it worse as I feel I can't say anything.

My dad is like this. I often find if someone hasn't had recent contact with a heavily pregnant woman they forget what one looks like.

I am 35 weeks pregnant and not massive by any means, as you probably aren't. I am just a normal woman growing a whole new person inside of her and have the water retention, stored extra fat and massive boobs that come with that.

In the last week alone I have been told by different people:

'you're MASSIVE' (a supposed friend!)
'what a lovely neat bump you have' (Dr in triage)
'are you sure there's only one in there?' (woman in shop)
'you are all baby, you don't look pregnant anywhere other than your bump' (neighbour who has twins)
'Gosh, I don't know how you're going to do another month growing at that rate' (SIL)

Aside from the fact that it's bloody annoying to have your body shape scrutinised every single time you leave the house, it also must mean that either some of those people have no recent experience of what a pregnant woman should look like, or (my preferred theory) they're all just groping for something to say and therefore I shouldn't take any of the comments to heart.

Very irritating though! - I am repressing the urge to tell people to 'cock off' now when I can see them sizing up my bump in readiness for a comment

I was offered a seat on the tube when I was 6 weeks

Just tell her -DM, every pregnancy is unique-.Then don't say anything else about the subject.

It is so annoying, apparently being pregnant entitles the world to have an opinion!

Just take a deep breath and smile.

Ah its so bloody annoying isn't it?
I carry huge and have babies the size of pet elephants, everyone knew that after my first but still felt it necessary to comment how huge I was on a daily basis. "oh my god how do you stretch that much" and "Jesus, your tits are like balloons, they'll drop to your knees when you've finished feeding" were a few of the favourites
The worst thing for me was people saying "have you still not had that baby yet?" Why O why do people say it, it's not even funny, it used to really wind me up because it was blatantly obvious that I was still the size of a bus and quite often, at the end I got a bit sarky :@ while really wanting to say
"just FUCK-the-FUCK OFFFFFF"
