sick of people growling at me !

[jillianglen]

so i have been wearing tight vest tops in this hot weather the trouble is anytime i leave the house i have to put up with people staring and growling at me because im getting big now and i look so young its starting to become frustrating and i feel as if i cant enjoy showing of my bump wish people werent so judgemental nearly lost it today with a lady and shouted im 25 in the middle of the shopping centre blaming the hormones for the outburst

 

[katie_lou]

Ppl really piss me off . I know it's hard but just try and ignore it x

 

[coco_cukoo]

I know what you mean! In the cold weather last week I was wearing maternity jeans and a tight 3/4 length arm top and I got some right looks from women in shops! How dare they - it's only a bump. I was thinking maybe they think I look really young but I'm nearly 27 for god sake. I'm scared of going out in a dress or vest tops now cos I'll get worse. I hate the general public lol xx

 

[leesey]

I had someone at my work saying to me yesterday 'oh I've never met anyone who made their bump so... noticeable!' - I was wearing a full length maxi dress that wasn't tight but nicely fitting and lightweight for the hot weather. Then I got 'most people I know tend to hide their bump when they get bigger'
I'm not going to dress in smocks and dungarees it's the friggin 21st century, i love my bump, and it's 25 degrees!! I can wear what I choose.

I'm also very young looking, even though I'm 28 I still get 'teen mum' looks from strangers xx

 

[tweetyfoo]

I dont look young

But today I'm wearing a maternity knee length dress.

Got some charming looks off folk when I went for a walk at lunch time! What are we supposed to do, cover up from head to toe?!

Omg that is so effing annoying!!

I was sitting in a cafe having lunch during the week and was wearing a strappy maxi dress that clings to my bump, and I kept getting really dirty looks off of 3 muslim men. They were really staring at me like I disgusted them, and after about 10-15mins of this I just shouted 'WHAT?!' At them and they stopped staring.
Then my LO started wriggling so I rubbed my bump, and 1 of the men pointed it out to the other 2, and they all stared at me again!! So I stared back and said 'What?!' Again in a harsh tone lol.

I don't let people make me feel bad! Ur not doing anything wrong by being pregnant, tell the idiots to get a life!! Tossers!

I feel like saying "How old were you when you had your first child? How long had you been living with your husband before you had a baby?" Cos guaranteed back in the 'good old days' they were all honeymoon babies after marrying at 22!!

I think 28 is relatively old to be having a baby, I'll be 30 before the baby's second birthday and I feel old at that. Plus it's not like I got 'knocked up', this baby is planned and prepared for, and even if it wasn't it's nobody's bloody business! xx

You can't win everyone has an opinion your to young for years then suddenly your to old for children! drives me mad. If I'm a good parent who works hard for my family what the hell does it matter how old I am! x

ive been getting a lot of looks.

im 20, i dont look especially young, but its getting very hot, and i have some scars that are quite obviously self inflicted (old scars!)

im already really self conscious about them, but nosy people are having a field day with this!!
i just feel like screaming 'so you've done everything perfectly in life have you?' at them!!

grrr

 

[lisaloo]

Another one of my pet peeves!!! How RUDE! Honestly I have no patience at the moment especially with people like that who blatently have NO manners! I had My first baby at 19 - who the hell are they to judge?? and so flippin what if you make ur bump obvious - its not as if your walking down the bloody street in a bikini!! A baby bump is something to be proud of! Your giving the gift of life! Age shouldn't matter, there are plenty of young mums (even though your 25!) who are great parents - whether your a young mum or a flippin 40yr old mum, your a mum just the same, age doesn't mean your any better than another parent!

Can completely sympathise, I made stupid mistakes when I was 14, I have to live with the scars but it doesn't mean we're not going to be good mums!

People are so horrible, and whose business is it whose having a baby and in what circumstances as long as that baby will be happy and healthy. I know a girl who had her first at 18, they hardly have to hapeneys to rub together, but he's a happy, healthy lovely little lad, because they have a MASSIVE family and friends support network around them, and she's now expecting another

Because of the way people talk, my daughter was horrified to find out that me and her gran were planning on taking lots of full length pics of her in her tightest clothes and posting them on Facebook over the next 9 months, because I just know some evil little s*** will say it's her that's pregnant and we're pretending it's mine as I'm a big girl and don't show all that well

Totally agree with this! These people that are so quick to judge everyone probably had their babies at a really young age, but just assume now that everyone is younger than they are, not married or whatever else is supposed to be 'wrong' its nobodys business what your situation is, as long as you're happy try to ignore it, however tempting it is to tell them to Foxtrot Oscar!!

I get id'd for a scratch card and I have two kids and a bump so you can imagine the looks / snide remarks I get. Unfortunately I also get them from my own family.
My theory is, if they're talking about you then they're leaving some other poor bugger alone xx

tapatalking!!!

 

[Loula]

i also get the stares, its awful what they gonna be like when im pushing a pram x

To be fair I love my Dungarees lol but I have to agree the weather is crap for them far too hot!!!

Personally I would just growl back at them, I had one women who was looking at me in disgust in the queue at Asda and I asked if she had never seen a pregnant women before?? she quickly turned away

People can be tossers!

I was waiting for OH and meeting hime before going to see friends last night and this man was blatantly staring at me giving me a right dodgy look. He passed me and even when he was walking away he kept slowing down and having a right good stare, he had a face on hime like Id done something wrong! I was SO annoyed, I just stood there and ignored him but when I noticed him turning round I said in a less than quiet way 'What?! Is there a problem?' I know I look about 12, but it doesn't mean I am or act like it...

 

[Bunnykins]

next person to stare at you just say 'yeh I know your impressed, I can grow people!!!' or something along those lines!!!!

haha! x
