About other people.

I'm 34 weeks and being induced at 37 weeks ( 3 weeks today yay) due to gd and other health problems.

I have had enough lately of people commenting on my size, today a woman in sainsbury's asked me if I was due any day and that I was huge, I told her 3 weeks instead of the real 6 weeks. So she didn't feel bad. I am measuring correctly for as far as I am and to be fair I have lost 16lb since I have had gd, so infact I could be even bigger than what I am.

My sil is over from were she lives/works, I havnt seen her for about 2 years as dh went to see her alone as a holiday last year. To get to 34 weeks is a relief for me as we had 3 misscarriages last year. On Sunday morning while coming to see our ds she was asking me how I was seeing as l "look awful" (but I do without makeup) then she brought up the misscarriages and was telling me how they weren't meant to be and I shouldn't let it stay with me I should "forget them and move on now" and take down my hope ornament as it will just remind me. Dh bought me a little wooden statue with hope engraved on it which I thought was a nice gesture from dh.

If one more person tells me that it would be lovely I have a girl I think I might just flip, because aslong as my child is healthy I don't really care.

My mum came over this morning and asked me why I was asleep at 10am on the couch and called me lazy..... It's the 2nd day of my mat leave and I was up about 4 times to go the loo and take my ds too school, she also took offence at me still putting my ds with the child-minder instead of asking her to have him after school. She never had him when I was at work so why be offended now. Plus my friend turned up I made a cup of coffe for her and said help yourself to s biscuit came back to her eating a bag of crisp and biscuits, I don't know why it's bothering me.

I know it's my hormones and being tired plus I have a whole heap of things to do and don't think I will achieve them all I three weeks.

good god solong I'd be bloody cross too if I'd had that list of idiotic things people had said to me!

that is not being hormonal - people really need to start engaging their brains before opening their mouths!

I can totally relate to the annoyance about comments about your size. I'm over 6 feet tall and all the women in my family carry small and deliver average sized babies. This time around because it is twins everyone has opinions about how big or small I am. It is absolutely infuriating because people wouldn't dream of saying anything about your size if you weren't pregnant.

blondiejess1982 · 20/10/2015 18:59

I keep getting asked "I can't believe how big you are for 17 weeks, are you sure it's not twins in there?" Yes I am sure. You are rude now eff off. Of course I do not actually say that, just think it and smile sweetly Grin

Thanks ladies you have all made me feel abit better about my rant.

I can usually let it go over my head, maybe it's because I am off work and don't feel productive, I'm also constipated and full of wind. I'm sure this feeling won't last three weeks.

My "lack" of bump draws comment. I am 21 weeks (and bloody thrilled to be 'average' on pregnancy measurements). I want to point out it's a question of relativity. My boobs are still clear of the bump, I don't wear tight clothes. But ffs. Am I required to draw attention to my (H cup) boobs with strangers/ other people whose children happen to attend the same school as mine now?
Heaven forbid I should mention the top just hides it well. They come at me hands first then. (And it's only this week people know and I already have rage).
Thank you. Flowers that was good to get off (about) my chest.

I'm 28 weeks and as I'm slim and have small shoulders people are saying that's why I'm small for how many weeks I am. people think I'm 22-24 weeks. it's frustrating.

SoozeyHoozey · 21/10/2015 09:01

I'm 22 weeks and already huge (not just bump but everywhere). The comments are coming thick and fast. It's leading me to really hate myself and I think I'll just burst into tears at the next person who makes a comment.

Can I join in? My mother is annoying me. I'm 26 weeks on my third baby. I'm 39. In the last week and a half I have developed a really bad back, I can barely walk with it (Physio today).

My mum keeps saying how "brave" I am to have got pregnant again so quickly- DS is 14mo. The translation of this is "well, you took the risk of having two pregnancies in quick succession at your age so problems will happen and you should suck it up!". She's right but grrr! Some sympathy would be nice.
