To me, I just look fat. I am already extremely self conscious about this and then I get asked when I am due or some other variation of the question. Just today I was all dressed up, thinking I looked nice when a family friend came up to me and said, "honey are you having another baby?" Mind you, this is the same woman who came into my work three weeks ago and asked one of my coworkers if I was having another baby! If I wasn't pregnant three weeks ago, I'm not pregnant now! I'm never eating again.... I am heavy and carry my weight in my stomach but I don’t think I particularly look pregnant. To me, I just look fat.

I find this insulting as my belly has always bothered me. I used to think it was all in my mind until certain comments where made. Am I abnormal?? It upsets me to the point that I am thinking about it all the time. I am 5ft 3" 11 stone, yes, I know, I am over weight but, even when I was 9 stone, the belly was still too big to me.

Just this morning a coworker asked me when I was due. I had my son 7 months ago. Before he said that I was feeling pretty good because I lost a few more pounds. UGH. Thanks for writing this.

Sat, 13 Mar 2010 18:39:34 +0000 http://createabalance.com/top-ten-signs-i-may-always-look-pregnant/#comment-19869 Hi, I'm 18 years old and i have the same problem. I find it very annoying when i get comments from my own family members. I haven't yet found if its a disease or anything like that, I would like to know if you know anything about it. Maybe surgery I dont know. I've never ever been pregnant. So I have no diagnosis. Hi, I’m 18 years old and i have the same problem.

I don't have your sense of humor it makes me cry. I have no children, and I work out everyday and have been changing to healthy eating habits for the last year. Nothing helps. sadly this happens to me all the time, I had two back surgries and gained 50 lbs, and went from fine to fat. I don’t have your sense of humor it makes me cry.

I have always been fat, and I have a big belly. Needless to say, I hate customers. Two of them obviously have mental retardation, so I guess I forgive them. But yesterday a woman getting paint from me (I work as a paint-mixer in a big box store) and she says "It must be hard standing on concrete all day". I get this type of thing all the time so I respond 'Yeah, I suppose so." And then she asks me if my back is ok. I say "I don't really have back problems..." and then she asks me "When are you due?" I couldn't say anything. But after I gave her the paint and left, I bawled my eyes out. It made me want to die. This has happened to me four times, all said to me by customers at my jobs.

Mine has only been a few and since then I always stayed home so I never heard anyone mention or ask. Mine looked as if I was in my 1st trimester and it was really embarrassing. I always (to this day) try to wear big shirts until I get rid of it. I am thinking that maybe there could be weak abdominal muscles for most women but I don't know if there is something that can be done, exercise? surgery? I haven't done enough exercises to really think that I have weak abdominal muscles. I think I just stored lots of fat but I will see eventually. I am just flabbergasted about your whole situation (((*Hugz*))) to you girl! You are a real trooper about it all. I think back if I would have had it any different, I would say "no". My kids are so worth the crap we put up with from outsiders. Everyday I look at my kids, I melt with happiness. Screw my bell-eh! Thank you so much for sharing this.
