    I've started coping the 'oh you're huge!' comments lately too and it's already driving me nuts!!! Take a look at my belly pic from 2 weeks ago (so 15 weeks) https://www.bellybelly.com.au/forums...&size=big&cat= - this is the pic that caused a bit of a stir with a few of my friends. Even one of my best friends, who is a midwife, text me to say 'my god, you're huge! are you sure there's not two in there?" I thought she of all people should know better. I was quick to respond "I've had 3 scans and there is definitely only one and I'm also at my pre-pregnancy weight so I don't really think I'm that big at all" She told me 'it was the midwife in her' - what ever that means!!!!

    I just had one of the old guys at work walk past me and say 'hey fatty, how are you?' OK, so he's having a joke but once again, I just don't think I'm that big!!! I'm short, pretty tiny most of the time (size 8-10) and thought I looked quite 'normal' for 17 weeks (or 15 when the pic was taken). I guess being little to begin with makes my belly more noticable but I don't think 'huge' is really the right word for it!! Grrrr

    Thanks for starting this thread and letting me vent! I feel much better now

    Ha ha! Love the chalk marks!! See that looks like a 'normal' belly at 23 weeks to me too! We are pregnant for gods sake. You're right though, people must assume we don't bother to check out our bellies at all....yet that's all I seem to do these day! LOL
