Comments like:
“12 more weeks? It looks like you’ll be popping it out sooner than that!” (um, thanks…)
“You’re eating a bit healthily, aren’t you?” (yes, just to spite you really, nothing to do with nourishing an unborn child)
“Was it planned?” (classic)
“That’s going to be a whopper. Get the olive oil ready!” (yes, someone actually said this.)

And the one that somehow makes me maddest of all:
“You’ve got all this to come!” (almost daily, every time anyone mentions anything about another baby)

My worst pet hate was anyone touching my bump -just made me cringe and feel so uncomfortable – I was only happy with John touching it, not even my mother – and when strangers think it’s okay I wanted to punch them (not to sound over the top but just think its an infringement of ones space)
