stupid comments from well-meaning people

Meegs10.13.06

We haven't told a lot of people yet, just those we are closest too... but if these are some of the comments I'm getting from those who love me, I can't imagine what I'll get from other people later. 

One person told me that I should be careful because I'm going to end up fat. This was said because I was eating a spoonful of peanut butter just to keep my stomach from being empty while I road the train home. Empty stomach = unrelenting nausea.  ::weighs it out::  Nausea or one damn spoonful of peanut butter.

Another implied that I'm completely unhealthy, will waste away, and will make my baby unhealthy because I'm not eating enough veggies. I'm working on that, but while my morning sickness is better, somethings still make me want to hurl. My midwife is aware of this, and is okay with it.

Grr... I'm totally going to end up verbally ripping someone a new one before this pregnancy is over!

Wow screw all of them! While you have m/s you eat what you can keep down! AND peanut butter won't make you fat, it's really good for you since you need the protein!!!

yeah, being pg makes everyone think you want their stupid ass comments/ advice.

i have just started being a giant biitch, and people are mostly too afraid to say anything to me anymore!

I hate to tell you but the comments get worse!  Eat the peanut butter if it stops nausea.  I went into my dr. and told her that i have never eaten so bad in my life but I just can't get down what I would normally eat.  She told me not to worry about it and that it all even out.  It does...you will love the 2nd trimester!  Good luck!

screw em all!! I don't know what makes people think just because you're pregnant you want or need their advice!! I didn't lose my common sense or my ability to think or take care of myself when I got PG. Ugh....but I'm in a really pissy mood today so I might not be the one to ask.

Aren't people great? My aunt passed on the best advise that she got, and so far it has been the best I've gotten. "Everyone will have something to tell you, friends and strangers, the only person that you should/need to listen to is your doctor/midwife. No one else knows what is going on with you." I keep repeating that to myself when people say annoying things.

Screwing with overly hormonal women is the WRONG choice. Why don't people get that?!

What stupid people!!

My mom was on my case on what I was eating when I was home this past weekend because I actually had a day where I wasn't nauseas .... and I was quite the opposite. I was so ravenously hungry I ate about every two hours.

 I mean, I am already overweight, so I KNOW I have to be extra careful. But sheesh, mom, you ate Dominos every night when you were pregnant with me. One day of eating when I'm actually HUNGRY isn't going to KILL me.

Ugh. :PPPPpppPPPppPPpPPPpPppp to stupid comments.

Yeah, I'm only 11 weeks but am getting sick of the unsolicited opinions and people that I'm not even very close to who take it upon themselves to announce my pregnancy to others.
