You look good girl! I really think that
you have an adorable belly.
It's hard to believe that you are behind
me but you don't look fat. If that makes
any sense

You have a cute belly! I think you're just
carrying high, which makes you look
bigger. I'm 31 weeks and about the same
size as you. On a random note, i'm *very*
jealous of your tan skin!!!

 I
know, I know - it's so big! What the heck
am I gonna look like in 6 or 10 weeks from
now???!!!!!! I'm scared that I
won't be able to walk, and that I will
have to *waddle* everywhere - like a
penguin!!!!!!! The doctor said that I have
no room from my ribs to my waist, meaning
that this poor baby has no where to go but
out!
But thank you for the nice compliments
anyways!
My skin does look a bit more tan in the
picture, but that's it's natural colour! I
was going to go sit in the sun for a short
few minutes on the weekend, but I got
scared of getting pregnancy mask or spots,
or making my tummy line darker, so I
chickened out and hid inside
!
Does big belly always mean big baby?!

Thanks girl!!!! I am scared that I will
have this massive baby - I don't know why.
I think it's b/c the u/s tech told me that
baby was measuring a bit big and it
freaked me out for some stupid reason!
Plus the fact that my belly seems to be so
big compared to everyone else's!!!

i don't think you look as outrageously big
as you think you do. it's a cute belly!
the size of your belly has nothing to do
with the size of your baby. at 40 weeks i
was probably about the same size you are
now (if not a little smaller) and i had an
8lb 5oz baby.
edit: i'm not saying your belly is the
size of someone who is full term, i just
didn't start showing until about 35 weeks
and i never got big.

Thanks!!!! I appreciate the
comment. Guess I need to stop being a
first time Mommy worry wart!!!! LOL
I love my baby belly, and as long as baby
is healthy, that's all I can ask for!
You didn't start to show until 35 weeks or
so?! My g/f was the same, but she she had
abs of steel and a nice long torso. She
was much smaller than me at full term as
well!

jae, don't worry about the size of your
baby! if you remember, i was sooooo huge.
& .my u/s tech said they'd probably
have to induce me earlier because .gabe
was so big.. but when he was finally born,
he was only 8lbs 1oz.. not huge at all!!
your belly is lovely!

Thank you! How is your beautiful gabe
doing anyways? How are you?! I remember
your belly pic's and they never seemed
*that* big to me, so if I follow like you
, then it'll be ok!!!
8lbs 1oz is fine by me.....I just hate it
when other women try and scare you by
saying "oh my, it just may be a 9 1/2 or
10lb baby"! What the hell?! That's a big
baby to begin with, but why is it always
the strangers that want to comment on your
belly?!  I had one girl the
other day ask me if I knew the sex, and
when I told her "no", she said to me "I
think it's a boy b/c when you carry a boy
you get fat from your sides all the way
around to your front".
I walked away thinking "did that girl just
call me fat"??!!!!
Ahhh......some people.....

Sometimes when people ask me how far along
I am I tell them I'm not pregnant just to
see the look on their faces. People think
they can just come up and start asking you
personal questions when you're pregnant.
Like you suddenly have a sign on you
saying "talk to me please." Not that I'm
not a friendly person, I just don't go
around to strangers and rub their belly
and ask them if they're married and how
old they are and stuff like that. It's
just kinda presumptuous really.

Jae- I have the opposite problem than you.
Everyone keeps telling me that I am going
to have a small baby! I try to explain to
them that whenever I get an u/s he is
always in the 75-80 percentile but nobody
seems to care. They just keep adamently
saying that I need to eat more and make
sure my baby is nourished. I eat all the
f'ing time thank you very much! I feel
like people are already judging my
parenting skills and I am not happy about
it.
Btw, My doctor is totally not concerned
about me being small. She says that I am
measuring fine and that I just need to
ignore all those people.

I hear you ladies....it just seems that we
are either "too big" and get critcized or
that we are "too small" and better watch
out and are we doing what's best for
baby....blah, blah, blah. I know some are
just expressing their concerns and of
course, sharing their experiences. Some
comments I really do appreciate....I just
don't like those moments where something
is said to you by someone you don't know
and your hormones are raging and you want
to throw something at them!!!!
Let's ignore them all (the bad stuff I
mean!).....listen to our own bodies and
our doctor's (as I would think they know
best!?!) and have fun!!!!!
However, on that same note, I just want to
be the first to say that in my "unhappy
moody moments", I would still like to vent
about the crappy effects of being
pregnant!!!!!!!!! For
example: Cellulite growing on my already
larger than life butt!
