I love it when people who

HAVE NEVER BEEN PREGNANT try to tell you about pregnancy!   Oh STFU already.  You have NO idea so don't sit there and roll your eyes at me or get all biitchy when I tell you "HAHA UM NO, that's not how it works."

LOVE IT~  I also love when people tell me why what I am saying is wrong b/c in their pregnancy yada yada yada.  This is #2 for me and it's been TOTALLY different than it was with #1.  I don't feel like I've ever been PG some days!

I especially love when guys feel the need to tell me how I should feel/be eating/etc

That is always classic.

It's almost as good as my step-sister -- the one who supposedly didn't realize she was PG until almost six months, but felt the need to lecture me about my pregnancy as early as 12 weeks. ?

I KNOW! After my first u/s, my 19 year old PITA sister tried to tell me that I was "imagining' my baby wiggling around because it would be too early for them to do that. I was like, WTF? I was THERE, you biatch! I wanted to body slam her, but didn't want to hurt the baby so I refrained.

I had a friend tell me that she wouldn't believe my complaining until i was 6-7 months pg. yeah so now she's pregnant and I pulled that line on her. I've stopped listening to some people's advice.

 I agree... and it's even better when they are horrible mothers themselves, on top of that!!

NO KIDDING!!!!!!!  I work with this Dumb A#@ dude who hasn't ever had a kid, he's a total Forest Gump, but he doesn't know he is.  He comes in my office and tells me,

"wow it's going to be so expencive to have a baby!  Just the baby formula alone not even counting the dipers will cost a fortune."  No, feeding my baby will be free for the first 6 months to a year.  He says "huh?  How'd you get that deal!"  I didn't even know what to say to that, just said...  "Well budy, I won't charge him anything, think about it."

Then the other day the same dumb, dumb came in my office and asked how the preg was going, and I said that I thought the baby has hickups.  And he went on to explain to me that it isn't possible because hickups are caused by oxigen, and babies don't have it tell born... I had to bring in my baby book to show him.

Endless examples like that from this smart man.    It's entertaining if nothing else.

about my last post, I was a bit off the subject, but I get to use the excuse that I have pregnant brain... 

No one had better tell me that it isn't true!

I was at work not long ago and I mentioned deli meat (which I will eat, but try to limit) and coffee.  I only have one coffee in the mornings which I often mix half and half with decaf and I'm not about to give it up.  She looked at me and said "well when I was pregnant, I didn't put anything in my body that might harm my baby."

When I mentioned that you can have up to 300 mg a day and I have far below that, she looked at me and shrugged her shoulders.  I wanted to scissor kick her in the back of the head.

AHAHAHAHAHAHAAHA   That kills me about the breast feeding.   Oh some people kill me

I know what you mean!  Or my friend who when she was pregnant I was explaining what all the things that people bought her were and now she is telling me to come practice on her kid on how to change a diaper and blah, blah, blah!  OMG I have a little brother who is 12 years younger than me do you really f'in' think I don't know how to change a diaper when I TAUGHT YOU!  Unfreakingbelievable!  LOL.  Then I had someone the other day say don't you know you're supposed to drink a lot of water.  NO CRAP!  Do you think my doctor hasn't told me and don't you see this water bottle in my hand?  Thanks for letting me vent and I am glad I'm not the only one who gets irritated.

You know what is the absolute worst?? When people don't give you any sympathy and then they say things like, "Oh you just wait until ___ month". It's like, "Oh, uhm, thanks?".

I just don't respond when people say things like that... especially since all pregnancies are different for everyone. Some people have told me that they were never sick, some were sick the ENTIRE time (I've been in the middle).

i have the people at work who feel it neccesary to let me know when i am eating something that maybe is not the healthiest (nothing that will harm the baby). The other morning I came in to work and had a very small glass of chocolate milk (btw it was even low fat), and THREE people decided to comment and say "oh wow! do you really think that you should drink that now that you are pregnant?!" I just wanted to strangle them!! I like how they are stuffing their faces with donuts and candy all day long, and want to tell me what is healthy!

Not to go off on a tangent, but pregnancy-realization-at-a-delayed-date stories like this always shock and amaze me!  I have an even more extreme one - DH's cousin didn't find out she was PG until 31 weeks.  31 WEEKS!   How on earth could someone be so out of tune with her body that she was unaware that a 3.5 pound person was living inside of her?!

Hahaha these stories are so funny (and half have happened to me). I had a parent in my classroom ask how pregnancy was going. I told her it was great, no sickness, but I had extreme exhaustion. Her reply? "Ooooh you don't know exhaustion until you have the baby."

Really? I'll be tired having a newborn wake up every 2-3 hours? That happens? Thanks for making me aware!
