PMSL - you've reminded me of the thing I hated about pregnancy! And I didn't get strangers commenting until I was about 9m.

BTW, fundal height is STUPID. My very big boy was tucked away in a small tummy - so small I had five scans in all to check he was growing. Yes, he is, I'm fine, I'm just very tall and rather slim so no wonder I don't have a belly that can double as a tea-tray. (I had one midwife telling me off about fundal height two days after a scan revealed that DS was nice and big.)

I tended to start making comments back at work (because those were the only comments I got: no-one else realised. Actually, some people at work thought I'd been laid off, the only reason they could come up with for a 7+m pg woman looking forward to her last day!).

If I'm looking big, I'd tend to say that they must be due before me.

If I'm looking small, I'd say I was starving myself to get the pregnant modelling contracts.

If they noticed I was talking to the baby... then I'd talk nicely to them.

If they just walked up and touched my tum, I touched their tum back.

If they commented on how I was carrying... I was quite pleased they'd not noticed or decided not to say I'd put an inch or two on my thighs too. About as much as I'd put on my breasts, and those smallest possible feeding bras never really were filled unless I had two cloth breast pads in there too.

Oddly enough, I got a few comments about 6m and then they just stopped. Before I could really enjoy myself. Some people are so mean. I want to be pregnant again and have a whole bunch of new people to teach what not to say to a pregnant woman.
