April 2013 Moms

I think I'm going to write a book...

Mobile Users: I think I'm going to write a book...

It's going to be called "Crap You Shouldn't Say To A Pregnant Woman"

The first chapter is going to be called " 'Oh, honey. You're ready' - Said With A Sympathetic Grimace."

For reals... and it came from a mom of THREE.

I am so ready for these comments to stop. I am to the point now that if I see certain people in the halls at work, I duck out.

  • I like the comments better than the constant caressing I got on Easter. It was really disturbing to have so many in-laws randomly coming up and rubbing my belly the whole time we chatted. I kept trying tho back away and they just followed. Ugh. It was rea

  • I totally get the "Oh honey...you're ready" with the sympathetic face ALL THE TIME at work.  I hate it. I hate it so much. I'm NOT ready, and I'm not giant....I'm 36 weeks pregnant, for flucks sake...mind your own business, and leave me alone. I

  • Do it! I'm so tired of comments especially from women that have children or young girls that have no clue lol
  • I get the 'your so tiny or small' meaning my bump, but at first I got 'are you sure it's not twins?' they thought I was too big at first, mostly I had really bad bloat then! And I have a SN child and the comments and remarks I get on that comparing this b
  • So frustrating!

     DH's aunt on Easter just would not stop. If it would be been ok to karate chop her throat to shut her up I would have.

    "You're so nervous"

    "You're not ready"

  • On Easter from my great aunt I got- "Oh you don't even look that big, your stomach looks smaller than when we last saw you!" ...yeah, how about because she's moved down so low that she's sitting on my pubic bone and the floor of my vagina! Don't you da

  • While it sucks you're all enduring the same comments and looks it seems like that I am, I am glad I'm not the only one....

  • Not 10 minutes ago I got "look at her (from one co-worker to another) there is NO WAY her stomach can possibly stretch any further!!" Um, I have almost 4 weeks still until my due date. I'm quite sure it can, and will stretch further.

  • The other day at Easter brunch this lady that I don't know comes up to me and says "You really breed like an Easter bunny!". I was floored. I do have a toddler already, but having a second hardly qualifies me for such a comment, don't you think?
