Harsh Remarks About Her Huge Belly Included “This Is The Worst Pregnant Belly I’ve Ever Seen”

A mother who experienced staring because of her “large” baby bump won’t give in to pregnancy stigma.

Sebastian, Eliana Rodriguez’s second child, is a son who she just gave birth to at age 29. Rodriguez’s pregnancy and unborn child were both healthy, but her larger-than-average stomach attracted stares and unvarnished remarks, such as “You are gigantic,” “You appear to be expecting twins,” Have you looked to see if there’s another kid in there? You must be in such discomfort.

While a large pregnant bump may indicate certain health issues, it is sometimes completely normal and simply the result of a woman’s body expanding. Rodriguez assured TODAY Parents that both she and her child are in perfect health.

Rodriguez told TODAY Parents, “I carried big during my pregnancies; both my children weighed 8.3 pounds at birth. My newborn son measured 20.5 inches and my 3-year-old daughter Sofia was 19.5 inches at birth.

Although Instagram trolls are simple to ignore, Rodriguez noted that individuals are frequently nosy in person as well.

Rodriguez admitted that she had never been impolite in return and that she recognized the intrigue. “Yes, I am enormous and it’s hard,” is my response.

The owner of a health and wellness business in Las Vegas, Nevada, Rodriguez, said, “I wondered why my tummy was bigger than other ladies.” Considering that I am only 4’11” and have a shorter torso, my physicians stated it was normal.

Rodriguez began to manifest two months ago.

We had been trying for a second child and hoped for a boy, and I am an open person, so I was so pleased that I wanted to share, she added.

Rodriguez carried a lot of amniotic fluid during her pregnancy, the fluid that fills the amniotic sac and protects the fetus while allowing it to move.

According to the Mayo Clinic, “polyhydramnios” is an excess that occurs in one to two percent of pregnancies. Although it can lead to preterm labor, the majority of cases are not problematic.

Despite having a large amount of amniotic fluid, Rodriguez told TODAY Parents that her doctors had determined that she did not have polyhydramnios.

Dr. Kiarra King, an OBGYN in Chicago, Illinois (who did not treat Rodriguez), claims that fetal anatomical abnormalities and maternal diabetes are other causes of extra fluid.
