omg, if one more person tells me that i'm small for 23 weeks. . . i've had a couple people say this to me, or in disguise, its "you are carrying well."
i don't even know how to respond to this! i usually just shrug my shoulders and mumble something about it being my first baby.
if only they knew that their seemingly innocuous comment is making me worry about the size of the baby!
the TMI response would be:
oh yes, i had horrible morning sickness that i'm just starting to get over and i recently found out that my baby's umbilical cord is missing an artery and we're worried about him having restricted growth but my doctor says he is on track for growth and i'm trying desperately to keep gaining weight even though i still have occasional morning sickness and sometimes have to force myself to eat but thank you for noticing!
any suggestions on a good response?
SIGH! stupid people.

You can always just tell them that all pregnancies are different. Some women don't start to show till they are almost into their 8th month.
ReplyDeleteJust take it as a compliment. With my ds I didnt really even show until 7months. People are rude lol!
