Pregnant mother reveals insulting comments strangers have made about her ‘huge’ baby bump

An expectant mother who looked like she was pregnant with twins revealed the insulting comments she received about her ‘huge’ baby bump before she gave birth to her son. 

Eliana Rodriguez, 29, from Las Vegas, Nevada, welcomed her second child, a baby boy named Sebastian, via an emergency C-section at Centennial Hills Hospital Medical Center on June 11. 

A week before his arrival, she showed off her bare stomach on Instagram while sharing some of the things strangers have said about the size of her bump. 

There were some people who bluntly stated she was ‘huge’ and ‘must be in pain’ while others were convinced that she was carrying multiple children

There were some people who bluntly stated she was ‘huge’ and ‘must be in pain.’ Others were convinced that she was carrying multiple children. 

‘You look like you’re having twins,’ one person commented.

‘Have you checked if there’s another baby in there?’ someone else asked. 

As Rodriguez turned from side to side to side, she lip-synced the lyrics ‘I didn’t even notice’ from Doja Cat’s hit ‘Say So.’ 

There were plenty of viewers who took to the comments to assure Rodriguez she looked great, and mothers who have dealt with similar lines of questioning could relate.

Some Instagram users predicted her son was going to weigh 10 pounds or more

‘It’s SO annoying isn’t it,’ one mom wrote. ‘I’ve noticed people say this to almost every pregnant woman… There’s a whole baby in there what do they expect.’

‘I was that big with all of my kids, stuck straight out and had all of these comments,’ someone else added. 

But there were also people who missed the point and couldn’t resist asking how many babies she was carrying and how big she thought the baby would be. 

Some Instagram users predicted her son was going to weigh 10 pounds or more, but he was just 8 pounds, 3 ounces, and 20.5 inches in length when he was born.

Rodriguez and her husband also have a three-year-old daughter, Sofia 

The average newborn weighs around 8 pounds, according to the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia. 

In a more recent post, the mother of two shared a throwback video of herself lifting her pregnant belly, saying her husband weighed 10 pounds when he was born. 

She asked her followers who hadn’t seen her birth announcement to guess her son’s weight, and people were still shocked by the size of her stomach in her final trimester. 

‘Never seen [someone’s] pregnancy belly get this way unless there was twins!!!’ one person wrote, while another added, ‘I have [never] seen anyone able to lift their baby like that in their tummy.’

‘That doesn’t even look real,’ someone else insisted. ‘I have never seen a belly like that.’
