Girl forget them. I've learned there's always going to be something said. This pregnancy ive gained 6, yes only 6 lbs and it's nothing but belly...my dr and midwife said my daughter is bigger than my first (7lbs) and is healthy. Dont worry about it

I'm the same as TerranAniya. I'm 7 months, but look like I'm 3. I've just been enjoying being able to move around and the ability to put on my socks by myself still. :)
I'm also a very average weight/height.

You should see how small I am... I look like I'm 3 months instead of 7 & I have been eating a lot but it doesn't look like I have gained much though. But i got a Dr app tomorrow so I'll find out if I'm gaining or losing ... But girl that's how family members are they are going to get on your nerves about everything until you have that baby jus don't go pregnant lady crazy on them lol

People just airways think they know what they're talking about when they have no clue. I'm 26 weeks, and I'm a server so where I get it most is from my customers. Half of them tell me I'm so small, half of them tell me I'm huge. It's like, nope. I'm just as big as I should be. It's frustrating and I can't even say anything cause they're my customers lol. But just ignore it !!

My boyfriends family says that, they always say my tummy is so small... But i have friends that are pregnant or just had their babies and I'm twice the size as them when they were the same amount of weeks!!! I feel huge and even my mom says my tummy is quite big, and I've been measuring big the whole time. I hate when people make ignorant comments like that because it's so irritating!
