Aww don't worry too much hun. I've had terrible morning sickness and actually lost 2 kg during the first trimester. Could barely eat as well. It's only bad if you get dehydrated or lose over 5 kg. Sounds like your gram is getting old and not thinking about what she says ; ) Just like my gram! Don't take her comments too personally...hope all else is well and the eating is getting better.

Yeh i think theres always someone with a horrible comment.

I keep getting told by some people i dont look pregnant (which is nice!) and by others that i must of eaten all the pies!

Doesnt put me up nor down to be honest.
I just respond that the bigger i am shows i have a happy healthy baby in there

If I got a pound for everytime someone says "You are tiny...are you sure your pregnant" i'd be rich. Then they laugh and i just stand there looking at them and dont smile....they soon feel uncomfortable ha ha

I haven't gained a lot of weight yet butI do feel I have a gigantic bump for my frame .
I was at a dinner party the other day and all the girls started asking what I eat and how much I weigh, why haven't I stopped eating too much salt already and all the usual invasive questions etc. When it was time for the dessert and the hostess asked me if I would have any, I swear that everybody stopped talking, just turned my way and two of the girls there actually nodded their heads and went "Go, on, it's alright, just this once" as if I was waiting for their permission! It was sooooo awkward !

It feels like when you're pregnant everyone has the right to comment on your shape and habits, something that would be considered rude at he least, in any other situation.

I'm suprised how small my bump is for say I'm 4 months preg. I really was expecting to be huge, as I'm a size 10/12.. usually 12. I thought it was just tiny girls didn't get much of a bump, but me I aint either! It's good in a way, because there's less weight too lose when babys here, but it's making me paranoid because I'm thinking should i not be bigger by now? Haha.. No one has commented on my bump yet. You can't even see my bump when I put my coat on I wanna show it off !

To me my bump is huge as im used 2 a flat tummy! Never mind still got lots of time to grow! x
