I am sick of being told I'm small! Why did people not tell me my waist was small pre-pregnancy; that, at least, is nice to hear!

However, I can tell them that yes, my bump is medically small, but my baby is slightly larger than average so I'm the lucky one. Normal clothes AND a strong, healthy baby. They were twice my size at this stage? Poor them. I'm the best. (Yup, really, really annoying me, especially when people ask me why I'm leaving at Christmas.)

Last night I got narked enough to lift my top to reveal my belly, point out that there were four inches of space at the top (yup, if I touch it I can push the skin back to the bottom of my ribs) and add that I had the same amount of intestines as the 4'11 girl stood next to me so it stood to reason that the baby can burrow inwards too. All with a friendly smile!

I assume there are three reasons people comment: they're paying me a compliment, they're being rude, or if they stop talking their brains start working (gotta love Douglas Adams!). As general people out and about haven't noticed the pregnancy, only people I know comment, so I can take it that they're paying me a compliment.
