Though people I knew had made comments before this, it happened to me for the first time with a stranger about one year/12 pounds ago when I went to see a new gynecologist. She said "You're skinny enough that we can probably get away with a transabdominal ultrasound." I didn't say anything back, but it was a surprise... "me?!" Definitely saved me a LESS PLEASANT (umm...internal) TEST, too!
