I'd get different comments from different people! Most people said I was small, and then there were a few who said I was huge.. and I also got called "fatty" by one girl too, although I think she meant it in a nice way - not sure how you can take something like that to be good though..

It's generally considered a compliment to tell a pregnant woman a) that you can see there's a bump and b) that she's not looking overly huge (or ugly ) but the additional comments about "are you sure there's two, or that they're growing ok", man, that's really unthoughtful of them.

And I live in a "2 storey, 5 bedroom house" lol


Well I know I've commented on friends/workmates bumps...I really hope I never offended anyone because I only mean to say that it's exciting that there's a baby growing in there! I would never call anyone fatty or anything like that though, or ask if they're growing ok...
Maybe I'll get annoyed at people who do that when I'm pregnant

I had a woman ask me in July when I was due and when I said October she said "oh dear, are you sure it's not twins?" Well, duh!

And I had half the world telling me how "small" I was for carrying twins, and the other half (including my midwife) telling me how huge I was and that the gremlins would "have to come soon coz there's no more room". Humph.

Well I'm glad I'm not the on;y one getting these comments, it just makes me so mad, I feel like telling people to buzz of, in not very nice ways.

ugh i remember those comments, i didnt show till about 7 and a half months and i got so sick of being told "you cant even tell your pregnant"

But you know what? stuff them, every bump is different and unique, so whether your smaller or bigger than "normal" (what ever THAT is) you ladies (imo) all have beautiful bumps to be proud of :-)
