I'm registered on babycenter.com and I check the August Birthday Club almost daily because the women on there are due around the same time that I am. My due date (as of right now) is August 9th so I'm further along than many of the women in there.
Today they were already talking about showing. Showing? Really? At 7 weeks? Unless they are normally a size 0 that is a little ridiculous, considering the baby is the size of a lentil bean and their uterus is still the size of a fist. YOU ARE NOT SHOWING PEOPLE! You're bloated. Duh! It's a normal symptom of pregnancy. Even the moderator broke in and told them that and they ignored her, saying, "I've already had to buy maternity clothes because my jeans don't fit." If their jeans don't fit now, they were probably too tight before. Idiots.
I love how some of them have even posted pics, with their backs arched as far as they could get them...and they were obviously straining. The moderator reminded them that if they are truly showing, their stomaches will be hard.
I know that this is kind of a dumb post but it was really bothering me. Everyone is excited, but come on! Use common sense, or at least read the stupid newsletter they email to you everyday!
Yes those girls are bloated or they are eatting too much and gaining weight too fast. I was just starting my second trimester when I bought my first pair of maternity pants. I was gaining weight a little faster than what I should have been.
ReplyDeleteHaha...priceless. That is funny. I actually know some pretty skinny people that didn't even start showing till month 5.
ReplyDeleteThank you! I know, right? When I commented on it to tell them that they might be over-reacting I was NOT received with a warm reception. I think they might have been considering throwing virtual tomatoes.
