If you’ve ever been pregnant, you know that those nine months are filled with unsolicited opinions and boundary-crossing comments. It seems that once you announce your pregnancy, everyone suddenly thinks it’s their business to comment on your body. This is even more pronounced if you’re a public figure, like the lovely Mia Thompson.
Mia just revealed her pregnancy last week and shared her first “bump” photo over the weekend. Naturally, along with the flood of congratulations, she’s also received a barrage of comments from those who seem to forget the concept of personal space.
- Wow, your belly is growing so fast! I bet it’s a boy!
- Is that a big bump? You must be having twins!
- Did you overindulge on pasta with #NationalPastaDay?
- It’s like your baby and a food baby are battling for space!
- Wow, you got big quickly! My friend due in February is half your size—are you having triplets?
These remarks typically fall into three categories: gender predictions, twin suspicions, and outright rudeness. Mia had a witty comeback for the latter, but it’s fascinating how a pregnant belly can make people abandon common courtesy altogether.
I remember when I was seven months along with my first baby. A stranger at a deli approached me, cupped my belly, and declared, “It’s definitely a girl. You’re so lucky.” Spoiler alert: it was a boy! And yes, this was someone I had never met before. I had just left home on a quest for a chocolate bar, only to end up feeling like a sideshow attraction at a convenience store. Ah, the joys of pregnancy!
As if the physical challenges of growing a tiny human weren’t enough, you also have to deal with people touching your belly, making unsolicited comments about your size, and providing weird predictions. Sorry, expecting moms—there doesn’t seem to be a solution for this behavior. Prepare yourselves!

In summary, pregnancy brings with it a unique set of challenges, especially regarding unsolicited comments about body size. Whether it’s predictions about gender or comments about your size, the experience can feel overwhelming. However, it’s all part of the journey, so stay prepared and embrace the love (and occasional weirdness) that comes your way.
