Q: Has anyone commented on your bump pic asking if your having twins? I know I cant be the only one lol

So on FB i decided to share a 22 week old bump pic and to my dismay I got a woman asking If I was having twins...then asking why not and that perhaps one was hiding?! Sooo rude,I'm offended. I have a pronounced baby bump as this is baby number 5 but Im not so huge that it would be obvious that its multiples.I don't think people realise how sensitive it is to be commenting on the size of a prego's bump.I know I wasn't thin before this but wow...where are peoples filters?

How rude. Is it the same picture that is on here?? I think you have a perfect bump!! I don't understand why people think that because a woman is pregnant it means it is ok to comment on how large we're getting. One other thought... any chance this was being said jokingly? A lot of context is lost when you can't HEAR the person say something.

People think it's open season to comment when they see a pregnant women or think someone is pregnant. Being a bigger gal, I would always tell people straight away that I was expecting 2 before I could get any crazy comments.

With this being my 4th pregnancy I don't even take offense to it anymore. Especially when guys say it. They don't know any better and when women say it I feel like that's usually just a conversation piece to talk about your pregnancy. Don't worry about it. They will say it to the skinniest person and to the largest person. I would just shrug it off.

Dude I've had that issue and it does bug me. Not everyone is really tiny skinny when they are pregnant. I'm convinced people have a standard for everything and I just as soon wanna tell them where to go.

Sheesh. I haven't gotten that on here, but I've gotten it irl with every pregnancy. People are ridiculous.
