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. |

I'm Currently Feeling:  | 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 Currently Feeling:  | 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 ! |
