Why not say "you're looking quite big round the middle too - are you sure you're not preggers as well?" - that'll probably shut them up!
Ooh I'm sort of hoping someone aks me now .....
It just getting me down now everyday someone has something to say about the size of my bump - what makes it worse is it appears to get bigger as the day goes on! weird eh!
Also i am quite emotional at the moment - this is my first pregnancy after haveing 2 m/c's so constantly on edge anyway and this is just making it harder
Thanks again

Yeah, I have this problem too. At 18 weeks I definitely had a noticeable bump and yup it got bigger as the day went on as well. I went to a tribute night when I was about 18 weeks & we had a 3 course meal and I had a glass of wine too, I was so bloated people were looking at me like I was ready to drop.
I'm now 26+3 and I'm huge, although I'm only measuring a week ahead. When I had some blood took recently the nurse seemed to think I was ready to have it, when I said I had 3 months left she was like 'Oh God! Really?!'
I love having a big bump but I wish I could avoid the annoying comments that go along with it. People are so rude, they don't stop to think it might be hurtful, after all u would never call a fat person fat!

I think some people don't think before they speak do they.
Also i think they are comparing me to the last girl at work that was pregnant - she was a size 6 so was tiny most of her pregnancy i am a size 12 so not so tiny and after all everyones different
so you are not alone everyone thinks they have the right the pass judgement and make comments on everything you do!
I was walking round in the biggest baggiest clothes and noone commented coz they probably just thought I was fat, thing is I am now waiting for the comments to start. I am 18 +4 and I feel like a beached whale already so god knows how big am gonna end up!
Am loving reading the comments to make - just waiting to use them now.
Love Lee

abbie,hope+bluebump 28wk+1
I'm now 30+5 and today decided that everybody judges bump size by different criteria so I@m going to ignore them all!
Worse thing is midwife did not have tape measure at 28 week appointment so I don't even know what size I am measuring!
