Jealous of other peoples bumps?!

So I know this sounds ridiculous and basically I need to snap out of it but you know... pregnancy hormones.
So I've always been small (5ft1) and a slight frame is just the way I'm built. I'm currently pregnant with DC3 and can already tell I'm going to be huge again. My last two babies were big babies (getting tested for diabetes this time) and my bump just ends up being ridiculously huge. I'm worried it'll be even worse this time with it being baby no.3. I also HATE that everyone feels the need to comment on it as if I don't know.
I find myself being insanely jealous of people who have 'small' bumps or even just small babies!
Looking for some words of wisdom really on how to deal with these emotions

@NamiSwan yes my diastasis never healed fully after baby number one and was definitely worsened a lot by number two. I'm kicking myself so much for not doing something about trying to strengthen my core properly before another pregnancy takes its toll Sad

Ha yes! I've got three months to go and EVERYONE comments on how big the bump is, and has done for ages.
People are so shocked I'm not almost at the end. It's bloody heavy and i feel sorry for my poor body stretching so much.
I find it quite funny though... For now! See how I feel in another month or two when I'll be even bigger.

Ladies. Please. Be proud of your bumps. After all boys in the family I had a daughter ten weeks ago and it’s only now I realise how much it’s down to us to promote the difference in our bodies (bumps and all) in a more positive light. You’re body is doing what nature intended and it’s doing it spectacularly. Big bumps small bumps, short women tall women big boobs little boobs were all bloody normal!! If we were the same it would be boring

oh my gosh, these posts are making me angry!!! The nasty comments off women who have clearly had kids seen as they're dropping their kids off at school. How dare they???!! I'd turn round and say well at least il lose my belly after pregnancy, you can't do a lot to change your face without spending thousands!! Evil women!!!
