@jamesj08 Genuinely surprised it took this long to bait a troll.

@cjwh I'm so sorry for your loss, that must add a whole new dimension to the shitty unsolicited comments.

@uldello It is mental to me how society expects our bodies to snap back to how we were pre baby. I know some manage and hats off to them but it's a combination of dedication (I have very little), time (working out is never high on my priority list when I get about an hour to myself a week) and...

@logicdictates_udumb Ugh fuuuuuck them. Size does not equal health generally in life, and everyone's bumps grow at different rates and shapes.

@jmartian143 You're doing amazing! I think that sounds like the best idea . Ignoring is my goal but sometimes the comments get too overwhelming.

@jmartian143 Sorry this happened to you. One thing to remember is people are always much faster to tell you horror stories than good ones. So long as your doctors / midwives are happy with your baby's growth there's really no concerns. But yeah fuck her!

@indigostarfire Apologies for the assumption, I was basing off some of the things you said - you mentioned twice that your partner might have died. Just for reassurance, she would not have died from a cervical lip rolling (I'm not entirely sure what you mean by this) and she wouldn't have died...

@billross This is where I am at, I'm sorry you're going through it too. I think the bit I hate the most is people tell me I'm huge as if it's a compliment while I'm pregnant and then my size is just side eyes / judged with a loud silence after the baby is born. I'm big but I'm healthy, and it's...

@doodlebugrose I love the idea we wouldn't realise there's an extra baby hiding in there after scans and the likes. Sounds like you're doing amazing!

@felipeoliveir As others have said, you can go through PALS. Usually it's a self referral and you absolutely haven't missed the boat. Birth notes (paper ones) are kept until your youngest child turns 25 years old. It's never too late to seek the support you deserve! I'm sorry if anyone is not...

@indigostarfire I'm a midwife. In the uk we offer a debrief service for parents - primarily for mums, but I think you should talk to your partner and explain you're having trouble processing and ask if she'd organise a debrief for you to attend.The reason you'll need your wife to attend is that...

@sjoefsiuas I'll be looking at this app thankyou. I'm a midwife and so I'm very fortunate to see all shapes and sizes on a daily basis so I know that my baby and my bump are both fine, I think it's just the constant barrage of comments making me feel self conscious.

@sandee43 That's an amazing response, I wish I could take it lightly every time but it's vastly dependent on my mood at the time!

@twoohfour Absolutely. The only people who need to comment at all on size are the healthcare professionals doing your scans and measurements and even then the only size that matters is how well baby is growing.

@77darkhorse7 I have to do a lot of tongue biting when it's my family commenting. Easier to keep the peace overall.

@japenator Yes! I have diastasis recti also and I've even explained this to people who've given me unsolicited comments, but it's just brushed off "oh no that's definitely just a giant baby bump!". Oh ok thanks just ignore my medical condition, my requests for you to not comment on my body, and...

@afamilyundergod I find it so much worse when it's from my family. Strangers I can occasionally snap back at but I've tried everything with mum - being visibly upset, confronting, having a calm conversation and she still does it. We see her a lot so there's no escape. My only option is to suck...

@faithful39 It's the doubling down that gets me. If I defend myself or say baby is growing normally I'm met with further insistent comments. Take a hint you pricks?

@ugaris I don't think people realise (care?) how much anxiety their words can create. I'm a midwife and I find it amazing that so many of my colleagues are commenting on my size!

I'm 15 weeks pregnant with my second baby and never quite lost the bump after my first, so I look like I'm showing quite prominently. People (mostly my mum, but others also) seem to take great joy in telling me how HUGE I am, my dates MUST BE wrong, surely there isn't just ONE baby in there? It...
