people's opinions
I went into work on Saturday and I had 6 different people say to me ''my god you are huge, how many weeks are you?'' When I said 23 weeks, a couple of them said ''my God, you are going to be massive, I dont know how you are going to go another 17 weeks!''
some of them although they work in the same office have never spoken to me before.
I just said to anyone who said anything ''do you know what? when you are pregnant, people think that they have the given right to pass comments on how big you are. If I wasnt pregnant and just fat, you wouldnt say a word'' and I then walked off.
It annoyed and upset me as although I am 18-20 normally, I am still wearing the same clothes (although they are a bit tighter) and havent put on an ounce yet.
I measured my fundal height (thinks thats what its called. Its the measurement from pubic bone to top of bump) and Im measuring about what I should be.
Im worried now that my baby is going to be massive so im going to get the MW to check everything next week. My baby weighs only around a pound so I think that I have a lot of water.
Why do people think though that its ok to make comments - grrrrrrrrr

I had a woman at work, who I dont reeally know, say that she was the same size as me at 9 months and im 23 weeks!
I wanted to say I take it she had forgotten how hurtful it is when your pregnant and people make comments about your size, but I didnt have the nerve!
It has made me think everyone think im fat. im usually 12-14, so not what i would call over weight and i only seem to have a bump, not a fat arse or anything!
I say we just close our ears to these people and listen to the midwives who actually know if all is well.

I've had random people asking when I'm due and some seem to think I'm big and others say I'm tiny! The tiny comments worry me more though (
Don't worry K-Lou you won't truly be 5 months until 22/23 weeks and from all the photos I've seen you have a lovely bump!

I have a bump though I seem to have just stopped growing for now which I thought would happen as I started to show early.

When I tell people my due date they give me a very odd look.
I'm only NOT worrying myself because I'm having regular growth scans and baby Angus is doing fine!

"im actually taking part in some research about the insensitive things people say to you when your pregnant - thanks very much for your input"
