Annoyed at coworker

Good morning

I needed to vent about a comment that my coworker just made. I walked into the staff lounge to get water and she was like "oh, I can tell youre pregnant now". I was like "yeah, I am finally starting to pop". She said, "how many months are you? Six?" and I replied, "no, Im just about 4 1/2" and she said, "wow you are going to be big huh?" I got so annoyed. I said ? ? ? ? "actually, no, Im not that big right now." How rude? Why do people feel the need to say annoying things? I just started to show now and she says Im going to be huge? UGH

  • Don't let her get to you. Apparently people have no idea how pregnancy works and how it changes your body...I'm sure you look great now that you are showing a little!
  • I had a douchebag coworker ask if I was having twins when I was pregnant with DS. Then he went on to say that I was getting as big as octomom since that whole thing was going down in the news at the same time. Um, how is that even appropriate?! I feel your pain.

    Oh my god! How rude!! That is so much worse than my coworker. Thanks, you made me feel better, lol.?

  • Oh wow, that's rude.  I'm sure you look great.  Esp. b/c you look thin in your wedding pic, I'm sure the belly is pretty obvious at this point--you're almost halfway!  I'm sure it's adorable.  I actually had someone tell me I had a tiny belly the other day, whereas I think I look at least 7 months along this time, I swear.  I pretty much did a double-take, b/c it's so unusual for someone to complement a belly instead of insult it!

  • Don't let her get to you! She sounds really self conscious to me. She is probably jealous of how hot you look even when preggers & your glow! Smile  haters are going to hate!
  • My co worker who is way bigger than me pre pregnancy couldn't believe that I was wearing Maternity jeans already.  I said I don't have to wear them, I wear them for the comfort of there being no zipper to dig into my lower abdomen.  They don't even look like Maternity Jeans.  UGH!  Some people!!!

  • I also had someone ask me if I was sure I am not having twins.....Umm yes, I'm pretty sure my doctor and the 3 u/s techs I've seen so far did not miss another baby (well I know there are some cases on hiding twins but you know what I mean).  Also today I had a coworker poke my belly as she was telling my other coworker to feel it and how hard it is, as she poked it she said "Oh mine was hard as a rock by now, yours is not that hard yet" WTF? I had a flat stomach before getting pregnant (and she didn't) and I can feel that it's hard so I'm not sure what she was getting at here....anyway, annoying!
