“Wow, what a big bump”

"Oh my gosh your belly is MASSIVE!!!""Are you sure your not carrying twins?"

Yes, that’s really what I need to hear at this point in time. Yes my bump is big, yes my feet are swollen, yes my nose is bigger and yes I feel like a big fat round ball. Thank you so much for pointing out that I’m the size of a house, as if I didn’t already know....

...Is what I wish I said. But instead I’d just smile politely or laugh it off and agree "yh I know right!"

I had so many comments on how big my belly was from very early on in my pregnancy. And towards the end I did look very big and my bump was out of this world but when I had my son he only weight 7lbs 3oz!!! Meaning a lot of the weight everyone so gladly liked to remind me of was just water weight. Not that it meant anything to them at all.

At first I used to take offence when people commented on how big I was but towards the end I was just so fed up of it I didn’t even bother to comment back most of the time.

I had to keep reminding myself was that I was growing a human inside me!!! Also that it was a privilege to grow and carry this little human as so many women are hoping, praying and wishing to be in my position. I had to keep reminding myself that the weight along with all the stretch marks and all the other "glorious" things associated with pregnancy would be worth it in the end when I get to meet my little king.

And it was 100000000% worth it as he is perfect!

Until next time x
