Anyone else get really fed up with everyone commenting on the size of your bump?? Strangers and friends and family.. I'm 35 weeks and quite neat.. but everyone has something to say about how tiny I am.. I'm measuring normal but previous big babies so I suppose I'm paranoid now as I've always been massive..

Me!! I'm 27 weeks with baby #3. People have said when are you due? I say May and their eyes nearly pop out of their heads and say oh your big arent you 🤨 I feel like saying, oh yeah! I hadnt even noticed..!!

I love how people wouldn't dare to comment on the size of a non pregnant lady but feel it's fine to call you massive or oh your small..! I feel your pain x

Yep! Too small, too big; people just don't seem to be able to keep their mouths shut!

I have a big bump and all I've had is "you sure there's only one in there?!?" HAHAHAHAHA. So annoying

I always have small neat bumps and got loads of comments.

Loved it. I interpreted that as to say I was skinny Smile

This is me. 27 weeks, massive bump. Doesn't help that I had IVF which gave me severe OHSS so still carrying fluid from that plus a transverse baby which makes my bump quite wide. Cashier in Marks and Spencer's at the weekend grilled me about my due date, baby gender, bump size. Huge saucer eyes when I said due in May. "O wow you're huge! Especially for your first baby too!". Yep, felt like Shamu, shamefully buying granny knickers.

I'm getting the same - 28 weeks and all I'm hearing is 'Are you sure there's only one in there?!' 'God, you're HUGE!' 'I'm sure you're bigger now than you were when DD was born!'.

Sick of hearing it. Why is it okay to comment like that? I always just say, 'Thanks - just what every woman wants to hear' Hmm and leave them to it, while I'm thinking 'FUCK OFF, YOU FUCKING FUCK'.

Yes sick of it!! I’ve never commented on a pregnant womens size before, never really felt the need but everyone seems to comment on me.
Im naturally petite with a big bump and everyone comments on how big I am and then want to touch me ( which I hate)
Then I get the comments of how I’ll feel after birth, and if I think I’ll get my physique back?! Drives me nuts!
