Re: When people comment on how you look.

I haven't gotten any comments yet but a friend has been posting belly pics on her Fb since she was about 9 weeks along. at about 12 weeks a freind of her's said, wow, your huge, your sure there isn't 2 or 3 babies in there?!? I wanted to slap her for my friend! here sono pics CLEARLY show just 1 baby Chat Icon and for the record, she was so small

Re: When people comment on how you look.

I really had to bite my tongue once when a coworker told me I was waddling...because my answer would have been "So are you".

Just got a great one today too, that I better "be careful" because it "looks like you're going to have the baby any second, you're carrying so low". Just what I want to hear at 30w4d Chat Icon Answer: I carry low because I'm so tall that the baby doesn't need to be up in my lungs.

I find that when you give a firm, slightly snotty explanation back to any comment, they usually stop!

I skyped with my 3 year old niece and she said on the camera to her Mom, " Why is Aunt Leslie's belly so fat?" Chat Icon Hey they say as they see it at that age. The older folk have NO excuse!



I give little kids a pass. I'm a substitute teacher, and the kindergarteners up to about third grade have no problem asking me if I'm having a baby. The older kids look at me like I'm contagious!

Not so much the weight comments, but my face has broken out considerably. My grandmother feels the need to make comments CONSTANTLY about my acne. Chat Icon The funny thing is this bothers me but when the ladies at the nail salon point it out when I get my eyebrows waxed, it doesn't get me as crazed! They actually give me tips on what to use to help!

Yesterday when I told my students that I'm pg one of them said, "I knew it because you used to be skinny and then you got a little fat."

Today one of them said, "You don't look pregnant, you just look awkward."

I told them that the only comment about how I look they're allowed to make from now on is, "You look really nice." I think I'm going to say the same thing to all people who give me unwanted comments. Chat Icon



This morning when I first saw my students, about 3 or 4 of them commented that I looked nice today. Kids are hysterical! Chat Icon
