S/O being miserable

HyfagalHyfagal member
in 3rd Trimester

I haven't dealt with too many annoying comments from people (as long as I can stay away from H's grandfather) but now that I'm nearing my due date it seems like every.single.person I see asks "So are you miserable yet?" and it doesn't matter how I answer I'm wrong. It's just an added bonus that they all ask with this expression of glee on their face.

So are you begging for death yet? Big Smile

"So are you miserable?" Not totally. I'm still feeling pretty good. "Oh well you will be! Just wait!"

"So are you miserable?" Yeah I'm getting there. "Well you've still got a few more weeks so...good luck"

    This happened to me at my shower.  People really do ask you with a creepy cheshire cat grin and no matter what you say it's wrong.

    I just loved being pregnant, so these questions just got a big "huh?" from me.

    Now that DS is here, it's the "Are you tired? You're breastfeeding? Ouch! Well you may think he's sweet and good now, but you've only had him 2 weeks" WTF kind of questions and comments. I swear, I find people even MORE annoying now than I did while pregnant.

    I don't mind this question - I love being pregnant and even though I'm 41 weeks I'm not miserable as some people like to call it.  I have a few minor discomforts -sleep, swelling, constant urination, but nothing too bad.

    I get the opposite. "How are you feeling?!?" with childish joy and rapture on their faces. When I answer truthfully I feel like I just told them Santa isn't real... then I figure they think I hate my baby.

    I've had a really easy pregnancy, so I just answer honestly "No, I feel great!  I'd be pregnant forever!"  But truthfully, I'd say that either way.  There's nothing I love more than foiling someone's hopes for my suffering.  I just love watching that hopeful grin fade. 

    Sadly, this conversation usually ends in them telling me how horrible/uncomfortable/vagina-exploding their pregnancy was.  I usually try to run away quickly.
