One thing I seriously don't enjoy now...is people asking me when are you due...and I politely answer them (knowing what their reactions are going to be like)...March 2015 - then comes the pause and the "Oh wow...."

LOL! Sometimes all I can do is laugh...I do feel that they are a lil insensitive...maybe I'm expected to still be very small...at almost 6 months pregnant...I dunno. But yes...I am bigger than my first pregnancy at this stage...but pregnancies aren't the same.

So their reactions just make me feel like a teletubby! Well....ladies and gentlemen...I still have a good 3 months.

	Comment from doularachelyou » Posted Nov. 18, 2014 7:04pm 2 days after my oldest was born and we were discharged we stopped by the store to pick up some last minute things...this elderly lady came up and commented on the baby and asked hown old she was to which we replied "2 days old". She then proceeded to rub my belly and ask me when the other is due. I freaking kid you not. I'm also due in March and being pregnancy #6/baby #3 I started "showing" a lot earlier. Been getting asked if I'm having twins or due any day now since 12 weeks. Fml.
	Comment from CaliTexBaby » Posted Nov. 18, 2014 5:54pm I think it's the worst when you get asked when you are due and you're not even pregnant! That happened to me at a friend's kid's wedding months before I ever got pregnant (AND for the first time)!
	Comment from aprilluvsmoz » Posted Nov. 18, 2014 9:36am Yeah, I feel you. I hate the comments oh wow you are huge. Im like I dont think Im that big.. but how in the hell is that okay to say that to someone???
	Comment from withchild2 » Posted Nov. 18, 2014 8:55am Lol, I was always so self-conscious about this exact thing. I'm 5'3" and petite and when I get pregnant my belly just starts poking out around 12 weeks where it is noticeable. I used to get so mad with my first pregnancy because people would make comments like, "You sure there aren't two in there?". I know they don't mean it to hurt feelings but it always did. I just smiled and told them that my OB says I measure perfectly, so I must not look that big.
	Comment from Quartz3 » Posted Nov. 18, 2014 7:08am I was told I was going to have a big baby so freaking often when I was pregnant with my son! I got so sick of it.... I'm 5', so OBVIOUSLY I am going to carry big. But my fundal height was right on track the whole pregnancy and my weight gain was within guidelines. Baby wasn't even 7 pounds at birth! People have no clue. And it goes both ways. I was actually told I looked like I was due any time now and that I looked no more than 6 months pregnant... on the same day!
	Comment from darladybug » Posted Nov. 18, 2014 6:20am Don't worry, my own mother does that. "At 6 months I wasn't even showing, I didn't pop until 7! You are showing so much already." I am always just like, "Well, I am pregnant so I am not ashamed to look it....and I have a much shorter torso.....and I showed earlier with my first as well and didn't get stretch marks while you did so maybe showing early is the way to go." The bump is beautiful and I like to flaunt mine....early or not :)
