"You'll have a massive baby"

Why do people feel the need to keep saying this.
My first was 7lb 12 at 39+2
Second 7lb 13 on due date

I'm 5ft 10, 22weeks and have only gained 6lb so I just don't know why I keep getting this comment.
People will look at me and DH (6ft3 and normal build) and say "oh you're going to have a big baby it will be at least 10lb I wouldn't be buying newborn clothes"

I've added a bump pic, do I look freakishly huge and like it's going to be a giant baby??

I'm not concerned about the size of my baby at all and nothing suggesting she's big but it's making me really conscious about my size and weigh 😢

@Addler 😂 that made me laugh. People always comment don't they.
People will randomly stop me and say ooh I you're having a boy...erm actually no it's a girl but thanks.

@mintich I'm going to have to take this approach and literally bat peoples hands away when they try and touch my bump
