I'm Having a Problem....

I know that many preggy women get this all
the time, but it's a real ego buster when
it happens. I'm 33 weeks today so i'm
looking at another 7 weeks of being
preggy. Which is still an ample amount of
time to grow. When I go places people are
like, "wow you're about to go any day now
huh?" and it sucks to have to tell them
that I have 2 months left!! They all say
"oh wow, I don't think you'll make it"....
So now my fiance is thinking the same
thing, like "you're not gonna make it to
40 weeks" at first it was funny, but now,
everybody is starting to comment. I'm not
that big just to clear that up. It's just
that I used to be sooo small that this big
bulge is catching everyone's eye.
The thing is, when other people tell you
things about your size and "if you're
gonna make it" and it's fine cuz you can
just smile and walk away. But now, my
fiance is starting to doubt my making it
and I can't just walk away..I live with
the man!! Lol....He thinks that I could
have it now and everything would be honkey
dorey. I keep telling him that the baby
would be tiny and have to go to the
.N.I.C.U. He thinks that the Dr. Gave me
the wrong due date. But I can't stress
enough, i'm not that big..I'm almost
destined for a large baby, but it really
aint that bad yall!!
Maybe it's me though...Do yall think it
could be denial on my part? This
afternoon i'm going get a new chip for my
camera and put it on a post just to show
yall that it really aint that bad!!! But
what can I do about all the comments and
my self esteem????

If you don't think you are very big you
probably aren't. As for your fiance just
tell him to shut up and leave you alone.
That's what I do with my husband... No
really, just tell him that it hurts your
feelings, men don't seem to understand
that concept.
The other day my aunt wanted to guess my
weight so I said sure and it was under
what I weigh..Thank god. And I told my
husband what she guessed and he said " she
knows damn well you weigh more than that"
I was p*ssed off, but at the same time it
was funny because I couldn't believe he
said that. I told him that someone needed
to write a book called....Things not to
say to your pregnant wife... I don't
think he meant it to hurt my feelings,
he's just an fool.
No matter what, people are always going to
have something to say about every aspect
of your pregnancy. It's just something we
have to deal with. It does get annoying,
but it will all be okay.

Lol...Now I have gained 56 lbs...But it's
in my legs and belly. So now i'm 184 and
growing!! People just think that the Dr.
Got my due date wrong. I can't lie, my
belly is pretty large, but what preggy
woman's isn't?!?! Lol...
As far as my .Fiance', I think he just
wants to see what's my jerking around in
my belly!! I don't think he has the
patience to wait another 7 weeks...Lol...I
think he just really wants to meet his
little girl!! I can't blame him, he just
needs to realize that these 7 weeks are
very important to the baby and her lungs.
I do look like i'm going to pop, i've now
begun to lose the battle with the
stretchmarks..... :....O(
i deal with the skin, that's my career and
it's crazy that me, of all people got
them. They say the hereditary, but that's
hard to believe. I've just grown a
lot!!
Thank you soo much for your response...I'm
glad that it's not just me!!! Lol...How
far along are you?

Hey, I know how you feel. I am small but
compared to the rest of me the belly is
huge. I told people how far along I am
and they're all like, "whoa, I thought you
were in your ninth month!" i've still got
12 weeks to go (or according to baby's
gestational age 10 weeks). My husband
said the same thing. He said "you sure
the baby's due in may, you look like you
could go any day now". I tell him to
stop being an @$$ and then I ignore him.

Ive been told since I was 34 weeks that I
was gunna pop soon but when ive gone to
the doc since ive only gained like 5 lbs
so maybe youre uterus is just streched way
out and now the baby will fill it in and
you wont get much larger

realize just how big you actually get when
pregs...

If your a water buffalo, then that would
make me a mammoth! My dad tells me each
time I get up to pee at night I should
walk around the house first for a little
extra excersize (and he wishes i'd go into
labor already) but I told him if only he
knew how much "excersize" it was to get
out of bed each time he'd think twice
about how great richard simmons is at
excersize.

Lmao... Yeah my bonehead husband doesn't
understand that either. He's always like
"you need more excercise". If he only
knew how much energy it takes just to do
simple things then he'd shut the heck up!
:wink:

yeah, I am really anxious, I wish it was
over already. But, on the other hand I am
nervous about the delivery too.

I was huge too. From 4 months on people
kept asking if I was having twins. I did
have a kind of biggish baby 8lbs,6oz but
when people are preggo everyone hears
either they are huge or "gee you look a
lil small" it's not really an indication
of baby size and people never say "oh you
look just perfect!" lol just smile and
nod next time.

Thanks yall....Anything I do is a task..
If i'm walking with my man, than i'm not
talking. If i'm talking to him, I can't
walk!! Lol..He's got to choose one or the
other.
On the bathroom issue, .Jesus, I thought
that it was bad a couple of weeks ago, now
I really don't even want to do it! Why
does the baby always have to lay right on
your bladder to where you don't think
you'll make it?!?! Hahaha...Every time I
potty, I sigh!! Like..Yes, I made it!!
I have 7 long weeks to go and I hope my
belly doesn't literally explode before I
get there!! Lol...I have a .Dr. Appt on
.Monday...Hopefully it'll be an "in and
out" visit to just discuss my blood
work,etc.
