Why do people comment on bump size!?

I’m 30 weeks plus 5 days nobody’s commented on my bump but I keep feeling it’s small however at a recent scan my baby is also measuring 3lb 05 so not far of yours I wouldn’t worry and try not to listen to people if midwife’s say everything is fine that’s all that matters xx

I have no idea why it’s bothered me. Normally I just brush stuff off. I guess because I wouldn’t comment on someone else? But anyway, yeah, you’re totally right, the midwife is happy so I need to just ignore everyone else!

I know how your feeling all my pregnancy i was told my bumps too small and then i had a big growth and belly is massive and now I’m being told its too big 😢xx

My mom also told me to stop eating so much and the only time i can walk is to the fridge basically calling me fat 😭

that’s so frustrating for you! I feel like you can’t win! I’m so sorry your mum said that to you too, so rude! You need to eat a decent amount especially at the end of pregnancy.

I get both! Either are you sure you're 7 months???? Or omg where has that bump come from?? So I just ignore both 😴😴

it’s crazy! I think that’s what I need to learn to do, just ignore it!

Same! I'm nearly 30 weeks, constantly told how small my bump is, got told the other day I only look 4 months pregnant 🙄 Having to go for growth scans but baby measuring fine 🥰 which is all that matters. People don't mean to cause offence, so I just ignore them! X

Because people always feel the need to comment! It’s like a bad habit that no one thinks is offensive x

I’m sorry - it’s so wrong, I hate that people feel comfortable saying things like that about someone else’s body, especially a pregnant woman who’s already vulnerable to so much stress and worry.
I’m coping it from the other side with “are you sure there aren’t two in there!” And you “you look ready to blow”. Yeah, cheers I carry with a big round bump all in front and it’s comments like those that make me feel so bad about myself.

My bump is small and I’m 30 weeks. It’s just strong stomach muscles! Just ignore them saying that. Your bump doesn’t reflect your baby size anyway! Mommas just got a strong set of stomach muscles 💪🏻💖

Every customer is saying to me I look small 🥺 our baby is small at around about 1.3kg for 29 weeks - makes me feel shit sometimes 😞 xx

I don’t get offended when people comment on my bump but can totally get why people do. I think it’s because I work the nhs so I’m okay with things. But to say you’re not eating enough is the reason he is small is so stupid! These people are idiots. There’s loads of reasons the bump is different to someone else’s 🙄 I’m 29+1 and feel massive but I’m not actually that big compared to most people.

I didn’t tell anyone till I was 6 months and because of how cold it’s been I was in really big baggy jumpers so nobody could see my stomach anyway. My “friends” when they found out then went “oh we thought you’d gained” weight…. That was the only thing that offended me regarding size because nobody could actually see my stomach and they know I’m weight conscious anyway. They just wanted to look clever

I carry HUGE , first was 5lb 9 , second 7lb and this one at 29 weeks estimated 2lb 10 and I've been a house with all 3. I gained 11lb with first, 16 with second and only 5lb so far with this one and everyone comments on my ever growing belly 🙄

Ufhhh I hate it. My bump is probably on the smaller side, but I don’t want people to *tell* me that. Idk why I find it a touchy subject but it’s like if someone says it’s big or small I get offended either way🤣🤦‍♀️

Just tell them to F…off !

Tell them to get fucked every woman carries diffrently and they sound like they need to get a life and be realistic xx

I normally don’t care, but for some reason it has got to me this time! I’m glad you are loving your pregnant body though, that’s amazing!

that is true! I have only had one person that was clearly being rude, I think everyone else is just passing a comment. Glad baby is measuring fine for you!

it’s so frustrating isn’t it!? I don’t really mind carrying small. It was more the one person saying I wasn’t eating enough and starving my body so I look “good” 🙄. I don’t know why people think it’s okay to comment on how you look!

I hear you Naomi. Although I’m the opposite end of the spectrum. I have a big bump and was a size UK18 before I got pregnant and still a size UK18 now. Baby is measuring average size, slap bang in the middle line on the growth chart. But I have had a few people say “Don’t eat too much” or “You’re not eating too much are you?” Or “Are you sure you’re not having twins?” Etc. Just makes me feel like a fat whale and that people are judging me. It’s not nice. People should keep their mouths closed regarding size of bump. It’s different and unique for each individual woman. ❤️

I don’t know why people think it’s okay to comment on anyone’s belly, pregnant or not! I’m sorry you’re having the rubbish comments too! Ugh!
