I find it strange

when people ask me "how are you feeling" and I say "good" or "fine" they always, ALWAYS respond with "Really?!" like they're shocked.

They're making me feel like I should make up feeling really super horrible to earn their PG respect.

I get the opposite reaction.  People ask me how I'm doing and I tell them I'm miserable, they act shocked.

I know. I am sick of being asked that question! I finally started telling people "My back is killing me!!!!!!!" Then at least I get a little sympathy! LOL!

I get it all the time...it bothers me the most when the SAME people ask repeatedly, just waiting to hear that I've taken a turn for the worse. For first time askers, I usually try to be nice.

Have they said to you "that doesn't sound convincing, are you sure?"

I always want to say "I feel pregnant.  Leave me alone" but  never have the guts to do it and just smile and say "Fine." 

Last night, our pastor preached on James 3 "Taming the Tongue" and I SO contemplated raising my hand and asking "But God made us pregnant women extra hormonal, so we have a sabbatical from that, right?"

I agree, they seem in shock with my response.  Now i'm getting tired of one lady at work going oh you finally grew a belly!!!  You think?  I'm due in two weeks, i would hope i have a belly of some kind.

I usually say, "as good as I can be at 8 months pregnant"

that gets a blank response, which im fine with.

I hear you.  Try responding "fine but tired of my body being hijacked."  Worst of all worlds.  I shortened my response to "fine."

my response is always I feel GREAT!! I just need a nap really bad  I'm hoping my boss will fall for it and send me home to sleep

I agree! What do they want....Well, I haven't pooped in three days...My vag feels like its going to rip in half....I can't sleep...I feel like I could breathe fire...My and my DH have been having sex no stop to get this kid out.

I have come to realize that when most people ask that question they don't really want to know! They just want you to smile and say "good" or "fine."

 

Now, if I told them I feel like my baby is using my cervix as a hammock...

I tell people I feel rather "paunchy".  And that my sit ups at the gym are having a reverse effect.  They just look at me like I'm stupid.
