A Mother Who Was Made Fun Of For Having A “Big” Baby Bump Won’t Give In To Pregnancy Stigma

A mother who endured comments about her “huge” baby bulge will not give in to pregnancy shame.

Sebastian, a son, is Eliana Rodriguez’s most recent child, who turned 29 this past week.

Although Rodriguez’s pregnancy and child were both healthy, her larger-than-average stomach caused many to stare and remark bluntly, “You are huge,” “You look like you’re having twins,” “You must be in so much pain” and “Have you checked if there’s another baby in there?

A noticeable pregnant bump may indicate certain health issues, but it can also sometimes be a sign of a woman’s body growing naturally. Rodriguez stated to TODAY Parents that both she and her child are in perfect health.

I carried big during my pregnancies; both my children weighed 8.3 pounds at birth,” Rodriguez said in an interview with TODAY Parents. She also mentioned that her 3-year-old daughter Sofia was 19.5 inches at birth and her newborn boy 20.5 inches.

In person, Rodriguez said, people were frequently inquisitive, even though it was simple to dismiss Instagram trolls.

“I was never rude back,” said Rodriguez, who said she understood the curiosity. “I’d answer, ‘Yes, I am huge and it’s hard.’”

Eliana Rodriguez’s doctor remarked that the noticeable growth she experienced during her first pregnancy with her daughter was typical for her.

Rodriguez manages a health and wellness business in Las Vegas, Nevada. “I wondered why my belly was bigger than other women,” Rodriguez said. “My doctors said it was normal because I am only 4’11 and have a shorter torso.”

Rodriguez took two months to manifest.

“I was so excited that I wanted to share — we had been trying for a second baby and hoping for a boy and I am an open person,”she said.

Rodriguez had a lot of amniotic fluid during her pregnancy, which is a fluid that surrounds and protects the fetus while allowing it to move.

A condition known as “polyhydramnios,”according to the Mayo Clinic, affects one to two percent of pregnancies. While it can result in preterm labor, the majority of cases are not dangerous.
