too scared to show the public my baby bump

[BoLt_InFeRnO]

I'm 38 weeks, and still try to hide my bump when I'm in public. I'm 21 and still get rude comments. I've not long moved to england, so I know no one. And I have no one to stick up for me if someone starts. I've just brought a size 16 coat in hope that no one notices. I don't go out a lot either. I sound pretty sad thinking about it, but I just can't be bothered explaining myself to people who have stupid opinions

hey girlies!!
im not sure exctly why but im too scared when ever i go out in public to show my baby bump:/ , i always wear clothing to hide it.does anyone else feel this way?
im not sure why, im not embarrassed by being pregnant, im proud and exited of it, and everyone i know knows it. It could be coz im scared of older people criticizing me, but im not exactly sure.
just wana know if this is normal, and if anyone else feels like this.
thanks

am 21 and i understand how you feel..even tho we shouldnt be like that...do you have supportive family and friends? x

yeah my friends are , but only like half of my family supports me, and lots of them said they didnt wanna come to my baby shower i had on saturday, was really sad:/

i would be a bit sad too i have my partner and one friend who support me (emotionally) where i live very small town i have a huge family who are 90% strict christians...because i have not followed in their 'perfect' way not even my mums intrested so yes i know its hard but i encourage you to keep your head up, we got a lot of good stuff to look forward to...ok am going to stop rambling now lol

I am 36 weeks and still feel self-concious and try to hide my bump to the best of my ability. Sometimes you might get rude comments however more guys than anything seem to speak to me now, I find that a little more odd than anything. Most people just seem generally friendly, at the hospital today I was really happy that everyone else seemed friendly and were talking to me as even though I am 20 I look a lot younger. I think the bigger my bump has got (and I am still small by any means) the more friendlier people have become and the more comfortable to show my bump I have become. Sorry for the long babble, just realised!

i still hide my bump sometimes. but it isn't really on purpose, i just don't like tight clothes against my bump.
but it's normal to feel this way, i wouldn't worry
