Why Do People Feel the Need to Tell You That You Will Be Huge????

Probably the same reason people tell you about every miscarriage they have ever known about, they just don't think.

Take it with a grain of salt, really. You're going to be hearing a whole lot more of it, so toughen up now mama! I was GINORMOUS three times, and still heard it. My favorite comeback was 'not big enough, buy me a sandwich' ;)

why would you let the rantings of some person bother you?

Enjoy your pregnancy! I can't think of any W. who did NOT get huge when they were pregnant!! So if they say it to you - say - "yeah - I'm pregnant -so what?" It might be rude - but they are rude for saying that.

Let it slide off your back. Enjoy your pregnancy!

I dunno lol, I was HUGE. I really didn't let it get to me.

People are simply idiots. If it happens again, just pull out your crazy eyes, and tell em to mind your business, mind your business!

Or if you want to go the sane route, just ask them where they learned their manners and etiquette.

They are just trying to say "something". It isn't the brightest thing, but it is an acknowledgment of your growing belly. That's all they are trying to do: acknowledge what is going on with you--which is a pretty big deal!

And you probably also have some pregnancy hormones raging right now, which is why it bothers you as much as it does. When I was pregnant, THAT was the comment that always rubbed ME the wrong way, lol: that everything was because of my hormones.... :/

Well I WAS huge, I gained a good sixty pounds with each pregnancy (luckily I lost most of it rather quickly each time) and people loved to point it out to me: wow, you're big, or wow, that must be a big baby!
Gee thanks, like I didn't already know.
Family, friends, coworkers, strangers, it didn't seem to matter, everyone had an opinion.
Sure it was annoying but I didn't let it get to me. I was just too damn happy being pregnant. I MEAN that, I'm not being sarcastic :)
Focus on the HAPPY, you are in an amazing place, the best years of my life were my baby making years, ENJOY it!!!

Why do you feel the need to read something evil into it? Did anyone say you are eating too much?

Poor baby! I am sorry they made you feel bad!
And HELLOOOO mom's didn't she just say she was ranting, venting, she didn't need to hear you tell her not to take it the wrong way.
I remember being in NO CONTROL of emotions with my first one on some days. So so so sensitive!! It's okay. It will pass you will have a better day tomorrow. Just be careful not to take it out on anyone, or at least try not to be so bad! hehehe!
People are insensitive! They don't think. And they don't know at the time how you are feeling. The only time I felt good pregnant was with my last one, my girl. With the others I got HUGE everywhere. With my girl, it was all stomach. I kept my shape.
Good luck pretty mama!! It will be over before you know it.
Blessings!

People are stupid. when I was pregnant this last time, people felt the need to tell me I was huge, I was having twins (I wasn't), I was never going to make it to my due date (I had to be induced because I went past the due date). They told me what I shouldn't be eating, what I should be doing. A cashier looked at me one day toward the end and asked if she needed to call for a bucket and mop to mop the floor if my water should happen to break right that second in her aisle. Like you, I went off on mamapedia with all the insensitive things they say. The one good thing is that people now comment on how the baby weight must have just flown off (believe me, it hasn't). I feel like those comments are trying to make up for how badly they made me feel while pregnant. Hang in there and try to enjoy it.

With my second child, I started showing really early...earlier than I ever expected. I had several people comment that it was so early to be showing that they were certain I was having twins! UGH...

Added:After I had my son; a guy at work said "you don't have to eat both pieces of pizza, even my wife can't eat that much"...I stood up and then his pizza was in his lap! Gosh jeez...not a mature thing for me to do but it felt good! I was nursing and I was hungry!

I think people get so worried about what to say they say the most incorrect thing(s) they can.

You just keep on doing what your doing and brush them off.

People are idiots sometimes.
Who CARES if you get "huge"?
You're growing a person today! Pretty important job, eh? LOL

i havent figured that out but its annoying, try walking or water exercise which is wonderful for you. dont eat more than you normally would eating for 2 is a myth

It could be worse.....for me it was the opposite! I thought I looked huge and everyone kept saying how small my baby bump looked. Great...so I normally look this fat and lumpy to everyone? *sigh*

One thing I absolutely HATED when I was pregnant was that towards the end people that knew me would ask; ''When are you going to POP?'' I would look at them and say; ''I am not a bag of pop corn, I'm not going to POP, I'm going to have my baby in a few weeks. THANKS!'' That would shut them up.

I guess I have a ''don't mess with me'' look about me because I NEVER was asked by strangers when I was going to pop, and I went everywhere!

Don't think to much of it. I bet your not even as big as you think. Think of it this way, it's only temporary!

Something about seeing a pregnant woman turns off that filter in people's head. I am not exactly skinny, I had too much amniotic fluid and a big baby. I WAS huge! But I did not need a reminder of how ginormous I was. I had a guy in a car shop exclaim, "Damn. How the hell are you staying vertical with that belly? It must be triplets." I didn't know him. I am sure he thought he was hilarious. I was embarrassed and upset. Again...my belly turned off that filter that tells people they need to shut up. Hang in there mama!!

I heard that all the time while I was pregnant. Then once I WAS huge, I heard "When are you going to have that baby? You look like you're about to pop!" Thanks. I had a woman make some rude remark to me while I was buying chips at the grocery store too. I don't remember what exactly she said but it was something about eating a lot and how big my belly was. People think that pregnant women don't care about comments about how fat they are I guess. If it really irks you, just say "Well, you look like you're going to be too, but at least I'M pregnant." Hey--pregnancy hormones can make you bitchy right? ;)
