My neighbour just loves to comment on how big I look for how far along I am. Its starting to give me a complex and considering she also had a baby less than a year ago I dont think its a nice thing to say...am I being too sensitive?

Nooo I don’t think so. My colleague at work does the same to me. It makes me feel so embarrassed but I’ve just been brushing it off

I don't think you are. I hate when people comment like this without being asked. You can tell her that you heard her first 5 times when she said it, she doesn't need to repeat this every time she sees you.

I had that, well my baby was 4.2kg at birth so I actually was big 😁. I never took it personally, it can be tough to find something meaningful to say about someone’s pregnancy - bump is the most obvious one and people comment on its size either way. Was just a non-event for me, I’m sure I also get things wrong accidentally when talking to someone. I miss my massive bump! x

You are not being too sensitive! I am exactly the same. But try take not to take any notice. Your carrying your baby and that's all that matters. X

You're not being sensitive! I hate when people comment on my pregnancy. The HR manager at our office said the exact same thing to me and I just said... yikes...
Never heard another comment from her

I get the opposite from my neighbours, that i’m tiny and barely look pregnant and can’t possibly be carrying a nearly 28 week old baby.
It’s horrible either way i reckon I don’t know why you’d comment on the size of a pregnant woman cause you’d never comment on the size of someone normally.
I just try to ignore it but i’m close to saying something

^^ funnily enough my baby was also measuring a week and a half bigger at my 24 week scan! so shows people know nothing they just love to comment x

I wish people would phrase it as “look how much baby’s growing!” Or just say nothing and ask you how you’re feeling!!!

Exactly the same! 'Are you sure it's not twins?' Ready to punch the next person!

I’ve had this so much and it was really getting to me after a wedding where I heard it from every person I spoke to! However a friend said to me just think of it as you’re cooking the baby extra well and it’s put a more positive spin on it for me 😊

Don't worry huni. I got asked the other day how many days I had left till I pop lol

Your not being too sensitive but you honestly need to think of some come backs for the next time she says something, that might shut her up. 😂

No. What right has she got to comment on your body?

Nope, there are insensitive to make such remarks.

I totally agree!

They call me Fat Nat at work and chunks 😂 I just laugh. You will. Be back to. Normal soon. Least we're only large for 9 months!

I also hate this!! Am super conscious of the extra weight I am carrying without being reminded of how huge I am… the worst comment I had was from a colleague when she told me I looked swollen 😩😩😩 couldn’t decide whether or not to punch her or cry

Interesting opinions. My bfs dad calls me tubs and I find that funny as I know its a joke. I just get the vibe from her that she's judging me a bit...but I'll try and brush it off/think of some come backs :)
