Things people say

I don't know what it is about a pregnant womans body that begs for strangers to comments. I had always assumed people knew better then to comment about a womans size in general, let alone when one is pregnant. Maybe it was because I got so big so fast, but that was not my experience. I'm not sure what causes all common decency to go out the window when someone sees a giant baby bump strutting their way.

 I loved being pregnant. I loved being able to feel my little ones moving around in there. Being pregnant was one of the most awesome experiences I could have and a magical time.  Just know, you will never be the right size or shape. Someone will always have something to say. Why they feel it necessary, I am not sure. I can't tell you how many times I heard how huge I was, then when I mentioned twins, I was suddenly told I was too small. I finally came to the conclusion that if my doctor said I was good, and I felt good, then I wasn't going to worry about what people thought of my size. Feel free to leave some of the best ones you heard in the comment section. I'd love to see what your experiences were.

Some of my favorite things people said to me:

Morning Katie, You're looking fatter today!

Looks like you've got the pregnant waddle. (ummm no my back just hurt)

You're only 3 months pregnant? Wow my daughter is having her baby next week and you're bigger then she is!

No way can you eat all that?!  (I'm sorry but carrying twins makes you hangry)

But you just went pee...
