Does it bother you when people comment on your size during pregnancy?

I was the opposite I didn’t show till like 30 weeks and often I got questioned like I was lying

Opposite for me, everyone was like wow you’re huge and I was like I’ve been this way since the beginning bro I kept saying it but nobody believed me just like they didn’t believe I was pregnant when I knew I was

I didn't gain or anything. I'm on the thicker side to begin with

Yep. There are a multitude of other things to talk about rather than my body. As someone who didn’t really “pop” until later, people never believed how far along I was, which made me feel really insecure. I always tell people: just don’t comment on someone’s body. Ever.

One guy at work hadn't seen me for about 2 months and when he saw me he laughed at how big my belly was. I told him if he was going to laugh at me he at least needed to bring me cookies. He's left cookies on my desk the next week

Ugh it was SO annoying! I’m like yeah I know I’m huge… thanks… lol

I had a graduate student come up to me at an event and say, “You’re getting bigger and better!” I was like, “Bigger and better, huh?” She probably should not ask me for a letter of recommendation.

Not really, as long as they’re commenting on my bump only couldn’t care less. Cause it literally is HUGE

Yes, I had some people make some really rude comments. One girl was like “omg you’re SO hUgE yOu LoOk like you’re about to pOp!” I was like “yup I’m literally due tomorrow.” And she was like “oh” 🙄 you’re trying to call me fat and say I’m huge but like this baby is going to pop out TOMORROW so not sure what your point is. There are so many things to say to a pregnant woman, why is my body the only thing you want to comment on?

I’ve only gotten that once, from a male coworker that wasn’t used to short girls being pregnant (his wife was 5’11” and I’m 5’2”) so I started showing sooner than she did. Everyone else says I’m carrying the pregnancy very well and that they can’t even tell I’m pregnant from the front. I was 119 prior and now I’m 32 weeks and 138. So I think I’m on track with what the OB said I would gain.

I think it's super weird to comment on someone's body but with pregnancy that boundary seems to go out the window! Like you'd never go up to someone and go WOW YOU'RE MASSIVE NOW and expect them to be happy about it, but as soon as the uterus has a tenant it's supposed to be socially acceptable? No, just tell the pregnant person that they look well or are glowing without trying to measure anyone's circumference 😂

They said the opposite for most of my pregnancy I didn’t pop till almost the end. I managed to only gain 15lbs my whole pregnancy

My bump was so small for so long and so many people would comment on it (innocently but still). And one time I just broke down into tears. I remember it was Easter and so that would’ve put me about 6-7 months pregnant and there was a girl there whose due date was later than mine and her bump was do much bigger than mine and I just cried because I felt like no one could even tell I was pregnant, I just looked fat 🥲 now looking back I realize I was being ridiculous lol

I hated it, first it was the oh your not showing very much to oh you popped that wasn’t till I was about in my last two months. I always hated people commenting on my weight and pregnancy just really upped my anxiety on my weight

I don’t mind it cause I have a little belly already so when they suggest it’s because of the baby I’m like oh I know right lol

Mixed feelings about it. I know they don’t mean to be hurtful but there’s a slight sting when i hear it

I can’t stand it either. I get the o wow your belly is so small comments. Either way it feels gross having your body judged. My favorite is when people tell me I look great, cute or gorgeous. That’s all a pregnant women needs to hear 🫶🏻

Well my pregnancy size isn’t my weight♥️ but my weight was my weight. When I told people I got fat during pregnancy they didn’t believe me and said it was my pregnancy and I told them “no” this isn’t part of my pregnancy I did gain weight and I did! I had proof that it was not the pregnancy, it was in fact me. I knew the difference. I was pregnant three times prior. If they told me that in quotes, I know they talking about the baby bump, not me. A lot of woman love the bump! I don’t think women wish for an absent baby bump when pregnant.

Opposite, I an happy to hear how huge I am. Everyone kept saying how with the first pregnancy usually women’s don’t pop much but I did straight away. The baby is 96 centile at 36 weeks. It’s a big baby and I have a big belly and I love it. Sometimes make me feel like a whale but I like my big belly and when people notice it.

“Omg you’re only 23 weeks? imagine how huge you’re going to be by the end!” Bish I got diastasis recti with my first ever hat did you expect?
