My baby bump is small, and people keep commenting on it

Mom, how big is a normal pregnant belly supposed to be? I’m already in my 5th month, but my belly isn’t that big. When I wear oversized shirts, it can still be hidden... But people seem to have a problem with it—they’re always making snide remarks whenever they see my belly 😭

There’s no definite size on how big or small a bump should be, we all come in different sizes. To comfort yourself like I did, I told myself, a small bump = I can get back in shape faster. My colleagues didn’t know about my pregnancy till the day i went in to induce labour (I wear oversized clothings since prepreg). Cord bank sales person came up to me and randomly told me “you have a small bump (I was 8m preg)” while I was at my gynae’s appt and I’m like “yeah, haha”. No one offered a seat on public transports since they can’t see my bump too. Regardless the size and most importantly is baby is healthy. Next time someone comments on your bump, just laugh it off or walk away if it’s making you feel uncomfortable, they can’t continue their comment if you’re not affected or giving response 😃.

ya... just ignore the remarks... i also got sooo many remarks that my bumps was not big... i am just naturally big .. of course my bumps not really visible.. but what i heard.. if u are first time preggy... usually the bump look smaller... so just ignore the remarks... and chill✌🏻

Just ignore these people. Big bump or small bump will also have comments, so just see them as background noise. As long as baby is healthy, big or small doesn't matter.
