It ...Honestly, whatever happened to basic manners?! It infuriates me that by the sheer virtue of being pregnant, a woman's body (and that of her unborn child) somehow becomes common property. I hate when people ambush baby bumps without asking, or make comments they'd never dream of making to a non-pregnant person. It annoys me SO much and I've never even been pregnant! I can imagine I'll be a treat to anyone who dares to be so rude to me (or I'll just keep bursting into tears the whole time - it's a toss up). <br /><br />Anyway, glad you've got your head up high. You look fabulous!Rachel ¦¦ A Nesting Nomadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08457683109401016555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6389409755164955294.post-57479339718811521852016-01-17T11:33:29.024+10:002016-01-17T11:33:29.024+10:00I think winter pregnancy dressing would be trickie...I think winter pregnancy dressing would be trickier trying to get lots of layers that fit the bump! :)<br /><br />I'm sure people did just mean the bump was big, but "you're huge!" is very different from "your bump is huge!" haha.Micahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06858487062882928298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6389409755164955294.post-84351957575814374262016-01-13T08:56:29.013+10:002016-01-13T08:56:29.013+10:00Wow you're really glamming up, go you.

I'm sure when people made comments about you being huge they were just talking about your bump and not your weight.

'Your bump is huge' is very different from 'you're huge!' and they don't realise that at all.
