People stare at me and my family all the time, lol. My kids are usually acting crazy and it's a bit of a spectacle to see a bunch of redheads together.
As far as staring at me because I'm pregnant, I haven't noticed. I think people are getting use to seeing me knocked up, lol.

no comments from strangers. comments from co-workers and congrats from DH's co-workers. I did get one nasty look from a lady, but I think she was looking at everyone that way. AND she worked/owned a high-end childrens clothing store we were checking out. that's funny. sour-puss-face there lost what business i might have given her.

People's eyes have started to "pop" when they see me. Evidently I am getting big! I had someone ask me today when I was due. I told her and she said "you are having a big baby!"

I don't know if people are staring but they aren't comfortable asking yet. I thought it was obvious but when I tell people they are all like - oh I wasn't going to ask but I thought...!
I told this old guy at the gym I sometimes talk to and he said he thought I just slacked off at the gym.
So.. no. Apparently people are unsure if I'm just getting fat?

Yeah. I get a lot of 'when are you due', 'girl or boy'? A lot of 'oh, is this your first?' Then they are really surprised to find out it's my 4th cause I look too young. That's my favorite comment.

Not really stares but I do get a lot more attention at work which makes me uneasy because I'm shy and usually just do my work and move on. People that have never talked to me before now talk to me.
Same here, ohfiddleheads, someone at work said 'you're getting so big, is it twins?' I looked at them sideways and shook my head and walked away. Next time I'm going to reply, no, it's quadruplets or quints and see what they say. lol.
I had to report someone a couple of weeks ago because they wouldn't stop making comments about my size. I've only gained 9lbs so far. They appologized but I could tell they didn't mean it. He said he was only trying to help me and encourage me to stay healthy. Gah, really? My doc said I was good so you're opinion doesn't count.

Nobody saying anything to me, but we live in the suburb of a large city so its not as personable as it is in other places. People just don't talk to you here  Some of my neighbors have inquired as to how I am feeling and my dad said I looked like a beluga whale when he saw a picture of my 21 week belly, but that's about it.

I work for a bigger agency about 200 people. The people in my unit know I am pregnant but everyone else just hears rumors. Now whenever I see anyone I swear they say hi and try to sneakily catch a glimpse at my stomach to see if I am showing. Really the look that lingers at my stomach doesn't tip me off!!! I just really think my belly button is interesting.

I'm starting to get the looks. People look at my daughter like, 'aw...' (I think it's because of her age and she's talking/pointing a lot and she has LONG hair -they almost comment on that- that is wavy) and then they look at my belly and then give me this look like, 'aw, I bet she's tired!' lol. I can see it in their faces! lol I've had several people try to help me at the grocery store. I kind of like it!

I haven't heard too many comments yet. The comment I get most of the time is how time is flying. It really is. I wish this pregnancy would slow down. I'm not ready to have a baby! We tried for so long, just want to savor it.

We get stares, sometimes I feel like they can't believe we are "young" and have 3 kids with one on the way. I get comments like, are you finished now?! It kind of irks me, whats wrong with having 4 kids?! Last night though, we had a late dinner at Applebee's. Our oldest turned 8 and she wanted a Nintendo 3DS, so we took her to get one followed by dinner. They sat us across from an older couple. After our meal, and we were getting everyone ready to go the woman leaned over and said that her and her husband were so impressed with how well behaved and polite our girls were, and that we should be proud! I turned to my girls and said, "did you hear that? you should be so proud that others noticed how good you were" They were beaming. While it was nice to get that acknowledgement, I think our girls will benefit from the their hard work was noticed!!
