People keep telling me how big I am!

I'm only 28 weeks pregnant and already getting comments on just how big I am. I'm very small to start with (5'0 and just under 8 stone pre-preg) so, yes, I'm carrying quite big. I did with my last pregnancy as well. But I'm really getting fed up with the number of people (both friends and perfect strangers) who have asked me in the last 2 weeks if I'm absolutely sure I'm not having twins (yes I'm sure!) and if I'm sure the baby isn't due much sooner than we think (I've had 4 scans so I'm pretty sure!). Not that I wouldn't like this baby to come early -I'd be thrilled if he were 2 or 3 weeks early. But does every person I see have to comment on it? It's getting quite depressing. Anyone else have this problem?

6 children !!! - can anyone beat that ? I suppose anyone with that many children wouldn't have the time to post on Mumsnet.
