why do people think they can comment...
why do people think they have the right to comment on your size??
its it just me or does it annoy other people too?
i am so sick of people commenting on how large i am or how neat i am!!
why do people think it is ok? if wasnt preg they wouldnt be commenting on my size to my face!
some poeple have said i am quite small, and today someone said "oh you are quite stout arent you"
it does my head in!!!
with my first i was small for dates all thru and people were constantly asking me if i was sure the baby was ok due to my size, and yes she was perfectly fine, i just had a small bump!
this time i do feel a lot larger and i guess i am a little self conscious about it, but i am pregnnat and all that matters is that the baby is ok. we know it is a boy this time, and i have been told you can be bigger with biys (but thats prob just one of those things people say).
anyway, does anyone have any stories of comments made to them (to make me feel better and that im not the only one!) and do you have any good comments to say back to them when they do made rude comments!!

But I completely hate the divine right that it's okay to touch a bump! I've only had one person do it and that was my sister-in-law who I love so no problems there. But I'm getting ready to recoil and slap if anyone outside my closest friends and family ventures anywhere near bump... I've never done it to anyone else. Well, maybe once, but I asked permission and it was a family member!
As for people touching, i dont mind at all if its close family and friends. And my friends always ask if they can have a feel. If a stranger did it then i dont know what i would do - probably stand there mouth open with shock!
I also get people trying to tell me they know best......especially with food/drink. I decided yesterday to have a cappucino from our drinks machine at work (so not only is it the size of a thimble, but its also weak & crap anyway), I then had what felt like a lecture about how much caffeine a pregnant woman should drink & don't i care about the baby.........this coming from someone who hasn't & doesn't want kids!!!!!! Arrrrrggghhh!!!
Caza, you made me smile in regards to the flapping th boos and saying these are a big saggy arent they lol! xxx
its just the same when you have the baby, wpople think they can tell you how you should be doing things or think they can ask all sorts of questions!
dont they have their own lives arghhhh!!!
think im having quite a bad day!
I am 16 weeks and 3 days and my waist measures at 47 inches - yeah I am massive luckily I have a 'neat' bump at the front but still - people gasping saying 'my god you must be eating for 2' or 'you got soooo BIG!' or you sure you not got twins (from a monther i didnt know with a new born no less!)
I work in a youth club and one teenage girl lifted my T-Shirt up without asking to have a look!!!
I had my manager announce it to a club of younger ones with out asking me if I felt ready to do so then had to face a barage of questions about sex, personal life, relationship, what precausions i took, if i even wanted the child because i hadn't told them... ect I was barely 3 months and had some bleeding the week before (which he knew) and I didnt feel ready!
I was out on Sat night drinking pineapple juice (got to get the 5 a day in lol) and had several drink girls independant of each other come up to me thru out the night and touched me and squeeded my belly told me there horror stories about child birth! just what i want to hear on a nice evening out TA! lol
Dont touch me and dont tell me how big I am! lol id love a witty answer for the next person who makes a comment!
"she looks like she is touching me, but surely even she wouldn't be that stupid surely?"
I had never met this woman before in my life and I never said a word to her for 5 years after that.
First impressions go quite far with me pmsl.
