Why...
... am I so big. For those of u who are on bump buddies on facebook u will have seen my pictures and i feel like a whale. Im 28wks tomorrow and people keep asking me how long iv got left expecting me to say a week or two. Im covered in stretch marks (which are all from first pregnancy so wasnt a shock) but i just dnt feel like one of those cute, glowing pregnant women. Im starting to feel really down and im sick of people commenting on my size...of course im big im pregnant, stupid! Dnt think i can handle another 12wks of people commenting and me getting even bigger, it physicallt tiring as well as emotionally doing my head in. Ahhh! xxx

I'm fairly new on the pregnancy forum but thought I'd join in this one!!!
I'm sorry your feeling down about the size of your bump, people really can be horrid can't they!! I'm only 14 weeks into my 3rd pregnancy and I have a definate bump! My boss actually asked if I could possibly have my dates wrong-and the lady who scanned me didn't help when she wrote in my notes 'viewing restricted by mothers bmi!!' I mean how rude!!
As Sbradley said your cooking a beauty in there and thats all that matters!!
As for stretch marks I have old 'silver ones' from my other pregnancy's that go about an inch higher than my belly button!!! I get really embarrassed about them-but the other day my husband changed that. This is his first baby and he's having to put up with my moods-when I got upset about how I looked with all my stretch marks he pointed out that they are similar to war wounds-like a medal that we should be proud of, we have been through a lot for them and they are part of being a mother. It may sound a little silly, but it really touched me-it's very true!!
