I don't feel comfortable writing this on Facebook (never know who you're going to offend these days!) but I just have this intense desire to say this one thing...
The next person who tells me that I'm barely showing is going to be thumped in the nose.
I'm 36 weeks pregnant, and am feeling every inch of it. My body aches. My hips hurt. I can't roll over in bed without having to do a 10-point turn. I have a little bottom sticking into my ribs, and a head hanging between my knees. I'm tired. I'm sore. I'm hormonal. And I'm just absolutely SOO over people telling me how "tiny" I am, as though my body isn't functioning properly. As though I haven't put the hard yards in. As though a pregnancy isn't worth celebrating until you're absolutely humongeous. (Which I never get to, because my 9lb babies are tucked so neatly inside of me.)
So next time you see a heavily pregnant woman, tell her she looks lovely. Tell her that pregnancy obviously agrees with her. Tell her that you're so excited to meet her baby (if you know her, that is...). Shower her with compliments because goodness me, she's worked so hard to get to this point, and if ever a woman needs pampering, it's then.
*cry*
