Yours was in a nice way lol. That's ok. It's the weirdos that stare you up and down and break their necks to get a look. I don't get it!

I'm 19 so maybe they stare because I look young. I guess that's why I feel so weird about it, if it was in a nice way I wouldn't mind but I always feel like they are judging me or something.

They always look away when I look back lol so I think I might just stare them down.

Probably are, but that's their problem. It's really not an excuse to be rude in any case and I like that, stare right back at them.

I used to stare with envy lol Maybe they do too, thinking "When is it gonna be my turn?" or "Why did I lose my baby but they get one? It's not fair!"

Thank you!!!!! Gosh I thought it was only me that got the odd looks!!! People literally STARE at my bump and me! Men stare mostly at my bump and i always think I've. Dropped food down my top so look down to see what they're looking at! But women, oh man, they will stare at the bump then they will stare at me! I always just stare back at women as they have that 'nosy' look on their faces. But men just stare without any expression! It's soooo annoying I think by the end of this pregnancy I will have slapped on of those starers. Honestly. There are a billion and one preggo women in the world, why stare at me? Plus I get so easily annoyed now that I'm preggos lol they better watch out lol

I feel huge and awkward and sometimes think I must look pretty comical!

I'd agree with this because I'm guilty of staring at obviously pregnant ladies. Combination of jealousy (why aren't I there yet?!) and thinking it's beautiful. I'll admit, there's time I'm judging too (forgive me, but I'm human) when they are massively huge, have 6 kids running around running into and grabbing random strangers and no shoes on themselves or any of the kids.
