HATE it (rant)

I absolutely hate when strangers come up to me and say "wow, you're huge!" Or "are you having twins!?" I do not think I am "huge" at all. This is my second pregnancy & I will be 27 weeks tomorrow measuring just the way I should be! I've only gained 18 pounds. I think I just carry all in my belly because I even got the same responses when I was pregnant with my son. BUT it still hurts my feelings getting called huge :/ especially when your own "mother" says it too. Anyone else have this problem with ppl?

One day I might just snap when they say "you look huge are you sure you're not having twins" I'll be like "you look rude are you sure you have a heart?"

@mirandalashae if I didn't look like I was smuggling a huge pumpkin I totally would say I'm not pregnant just to see their reactions. I'm due January 24th and I get really big with my pregnancies I could eat just dry salad the whole pregnancy and still look huge in the belly.lol

Oh i hope you don't hear that one, it makes me cry almost every time(though I wait till I get into the car). I don't know why people have to comment on our bellies like it's not them so back off?!?

I also just love the looks I get when ppl see me pregnant with a toddler. My son is almost 20 months and he  is small could go for just turned a year (neither myself or husband are big ppl) so they give me this look like "wow close your legs" he will be 23 months when his brother is born.

People say I look huge they say I look 7 months I'm just 5 months. I get tired of hearing I look like I'm about to pop um no I'm just pregnant. I really hate when people come up to me and pull on my shirt leave me alone.

I have a little bit of a tummy even when I wasn't pregnant, and one of my co workers kept insisting that I was already growing and getting bigger when I was 10wks! Omg I wanted to kill him my feelings got hurt all the time I don't take offense any more now because I really do feel huge lmao I'm 26wks and I feel like I swollowed a basketball :p

Exactly! I just wanna punch everyone that says that to me in the face. I never say anything about it just kinda give a little smirk and walk away, but it really does hurt my feelings. I've never been a big person either so idk how I am huge...
