The comments on their body a lot of Moms found very annoying.
"How comfortable people feel commenting on your body...or touching it. 'youโre huge!' 'Your face is swollen now!' 'Youโre about to pop...ohhh you have 2 months left??' 'Is it twins?!' ๐"
"People coming up to you saying. . You are fat.. or are you sure you having one. .or your baby is going to be so big that you won't be able to push her out"
