Petite Mothers to Be.

Anyone annoyed with hearing you're so small? Are you sure you are pregnant? I smile and try to appreciate their reactions but why can't they just their just be a Congrats and You'll be a Good Mother. Makes me question am I eating enough but my grandmother said I will not get that big anyways because our children tend to rest in our back. I am 6 months and look like I am 2 or 3 months.

People always ask when I'm due, and when I say it could be any day now, they always look shocked and say I look 6 months instead of 9. It runs in my family to carry small and be all baby, though. My hips widened (thank goodness since a baby has to fit through them), and my bra size definitely went up, but I don't look any different anywhere else.

I know what you mean! With my son I didn't really pop until 8 months and people always told me to eat and fatten up. But I'm small and always will be so I'm really looking forward to the comments this pregnancy.

I don't mind I just hated it when this girl said I was starving my baby. I was eating the same as before. When you're pregnant it's not a hall pass to eat as much as you can.

I will be 9 months starting Sunday and I feel like a blimp. I really poped out at about 7 months maybe the same will happen for you. I don't think people really do it to sound insulting sometime we just have to take it with a grain of salt.

It makes me feel awesome when people tell me how small I am. I'm 33.4 weeks, gained 29 pounds and it looks like I'm 25ish weeks. Lol. Idk why women get upset  whether people say they look big or small, I'm sure they truly don't mean anything by it.
