She also added: "What’s the perfect bump?... It’s crazy how many comments I’ve read about myself. “Must be photoshopped” “is she giving birth to a teenager” “triplets” “ouch glad that’s not me” and then you see women who carry small who have to deal with people commenting that their baby mustn’t be healthy or “I look bigger than that after eating a pizza” it’s just horrible how much bullying goes on. At the end of the day you can’t help how you show and carrying a baby is hard work no matter the size. Everyone carry’s differently..."
