Sick of hearing I'm small!

[cat709]

Hello Ladies,
I'm 30 weeks and all I hear from friends and strangers is 'gosh you're small.'
I've had my belly measured top to bottom by the midwife and I'm at the right length.
Has anyone else had this subjection by people and it's made them feel meh? Or anyone 'feel' small at roughly my week+ ?
I feel like screaming that my belly is fine and to leave me be, but it still bothers me when I'm on my own (naturally, as pregnancy seems to be all about hidden worries!).
Xx

@mumsyandtiredzz i just want to look pregnant instead of everyone giving me that really look when i tell them and i bought a few bigger jumpers at start worried that due to lockdown i wouldnt be able get them but i havent even needed them

I think they might mean it in a complimentary way in that whilst you have a bump you don't have big arms or legs and look otherwise slim. I got this when I was pregnant with my dd. With my ds I got asked exactly how many babies I was having as I was very big all over.

People are annoying, try not to let ot get to you and enjoy the rest of your pregnancy.

Here I am at 22Weeks yesterday. It really did bother me as it made me worry. But I'm now haply with it after my 20w scan. Its very handy with work, as most of my clients don't even know Im pregnant.
Its annoying when you need help lifting heavy stuff though and I think OH forgets what I can't do anymore.
Like @MamaToBeOMG I kinda want a bump to know what its like/feels like. Im sure our time will come

My 1st I didn’t really show until 28 weeks but everyone knew I was pregnant, with my 2nd my pregnancy was high risk of miscarriage so really was to my advantage that I didn’t show until around 22/23 weeks and then i started to tell my work colleagues.

My bump measured small, I was about 3/4 weeks behind with my first and about 6 weeks with my 2nd.

I was just used to people commenting, people will comment whether you are big / small or just normal sized bump.

It’s open season when you are pregnant it seems - people are entitled to make comment about every aspect of your life, but you can’t take notice you have to ignore and move on. Just wait until baby arrives - it gets worse 🤣🤣🤣🤣

God! Why do people feel the need to comment on your personal appearance. I would be inclined to say fuck off, but I would just say nothing and change the subject. They'll soon get bored if you don't take the bait.
