Jac, I can't believe some people! OK, I had a midwife and Obs telling me I was "too small", but at least they ordered a scan so we could see the baby is OK. No-one believes me when I tell them I'm almost seven months though. And people are still not noticing unless I tell them, but then I am still in normal clothes.

My memory is messing me up, but I'm fairly sure I've only "looked" pg ince week 25ish - before that people were still kindly telling me I was at the "fat" stage. In fact, just checked out my reflection - in jeans and a baggy fleece, you can't really tell there's a bump under there. Wish I could wear fleeces to work! Although I did have a huge moment of self-loathing this morning when I saw my naked form... it is pretty fat when I'm laid out in bed. I'd cover up, but then I get too hot - DH wants the thicker duvet, but I find that a little too warm right now.

I think if anyone told me that I was the type to put on the pounds in pregnancy I'd point out that not everyone is as unlucky as [nasty commenting woman], but really, hers were years ago and she could have at least tried to lose some of the extra weight by now.

Sadly, at my work everyone knows me so points out that their belly is bigger than mine (mostly perimenopausal women) before I can!
