I know being pregnant will bring alot of attention - good and bad. Little old ladies might come up to you with sweet advice and good luck wishes, others will zip by on a bike and yell "CALL JENNY" (truth - happened to my 7 months pregnant friend yesterday!!) O.O
So Im 10 weeks along and I experienced my first ignorant comment from a woman.
For starters, Im Not showing, however im also not a size 2. I get that. I accept that. I will probably get really big and struggle to loose it later. Tis life. but its worth it in the end.
Ignorant Person: " So Michelle, I hear your expecting. When are you due?" "Late June." "Oh, okay, and I see your getting really big already!"
... ... ...
*DO THE MATH B!#&%!!!!!!!!!!!!!*
Talk about ruining my whole day. Worst part.. I was so dumbstruck by her comment I was unable to come up with a comeback! ACK!
Anyone else getting HORRIBLE comments?! Yikes!
Re: Rude Comments!!
my ignorant b!tch of an aunt asked me if it was planned.
no. we're just both 27, and have been married for a year and a half. WTF DO YOU THINK?
Make a pregnancy ticker
idk! i had a teacher ask how far i was, "3 months" i was like, no 7 weeks. lol.. i'm just really bloated!
yah your friends comment was just A LITTLE ridiculous. unfortunetly, too many people speak before they think their comment through these days. no one has really said anything to me, but i LOVE IT when i get funny looks when i go up stairs at school and i'm completely winded by the time i get to the top. i just imagine this must be what its like to be morbidly obese, everything takes your breath away, heart races after the smallest bit of activety, being starving all the time, cant poop, people looking at you with daggers in their eyes when you go up stares.
i just want to say, "hey, i'm pregnant and my body is making twice its normal amount of blood, and i require more oxygen, ***!" LOL!!!
Its hard with the hormones, but I just try to shrug it off.
its just rude. thats all.. "was it planned?" people have asked me that, i dont get offended, because its usually at school and since i'll be graduating right after i give birth... its kind of perfect timing. i like to tell people that we had decided to "let nature take its coarse" but we just didnt expect nature to work so quickly. LOL. which is the truth.
the point is, your friend who is 30 and has been married for 3 years, they may not have expected to have children, but i guarentee it came up in conversation before it happened.. married people have these discussions, single people dont. haha thats the point.. its just like 90% more likely that it was planned, having been married. that is why most people get married, to start a family.
WTF!! Who does this!!!!???? People are ridiculous.
LOL! you must not be married. i hate to burst your bubble, but people making the decision to get married, is actually starting a new family, whether they add children to it or not.
if you are going to quote me, do it correctly (or even 90% of the population's)... ???? i think it is you who is "dumb" and rude.

At my family's T-day lunch, EVERYONE kept rubbing my belly and then ask me how far along I am. When I replied with 9 weeks, they quickly removed their hand and looked embarrased.
Yup, that's all meeeee! lol I'm a bit bloated but for the most part, I started gaining weight back in July after I found out I had a miscarriage...this is not baby weight. It's pity weight. lol
awwwee! i'm sorry! can you say.. akwaaaaard!? it is kind of funny, though..i have to say, as a girl who is 11 weeks and looks 5 months already, i 'm there with yah! we should think up some standard witty response for that.. like, "yep, its just poop in there." haha make them feel just as akward. LMAO.. idk. hang in there.
It's not a *rude* comment, but it still makes me sad when people are like, "Oh, you're showing!" Yep. At eight weeks. Just call me Bella.
July 3rd, 2012 ~ Hang in there sweetheart, we can't wait to meet you!
Bwahahaha! You're calling her dumb and rude, (which she did not call you btw) and then say "you must not be married" because she had a legitimate point that goes against your "statistics"? Genius.
no she called someone else dumb for talking about a personal story that irritated her. seconly, i said it was 90% more likely that a planned child came from a marriage, because before people get married they have conversations about children, whether or not to have them. i said nothing about "90% of the population" of that you have to be married to have a planned child.. nor did i say that married people cant have "surprises" they can and do, and i also never said the only reason people get married is to have kids, either.
Oh. My. God. WTF is the matter with you?
Ironic on which post she said this on too, huh? lol
Read a bit above it...."unfortunetly, too many people speak before they think..." Bahahahaha. Thanks for the laugh!
