    Hi,

    Ignore them.

    I am getting annoyed because people are having trouble telling that I'm pregnant. I'm 22 weeks now and people are still asking me when I'm going to get Fat. (not that I'm slender though either)

    I was 63kg and only about 160 cm when we conceived and now I'm only about 69kg, but I think I'm carrying back towards my spine. Everyone is expecting me to have this classic Prego belly, and I'm afraid it just aint happening.

    It is starting to get more noticable, so I now in the next month I'm going to end up with the finally you look preggo comments. I just rmember how much easier it will be after bubs has arrived, so I get my girlish figure back (lol, I havn't had one of those sinceI was 18)

    I feel for you all with the comments.
    I am 23 weeks, and look completly huge. At work last week a midwife (I work in a hospital), said to me 'not long to go now'.
    I said 'I am only 22 weeks' she asked if I had had all of my tests and ultrasounds done. Suggesting that I didn't know what I was talking about.
    She said that I looked way bigger than I should be. Like I hadn't heard that before.
    I was a 14 to start with and d cup in the boob department. Now I am a DD and apparently they havn't stopped growing yet. All my coments are 'look how big you are' and 'look at your huge boobs'.
    It gets me worried that my baby is getting too big. My ob says that he/she is normal and healthy- and for that I am very grateful!!!

    Good luck to all us BIG or SMALL bellied women as we embark on this journey. May we feel content just knowing that our bubs are growing well- it doesn't really matter what we look like on the outside.
