Best Compliment

In keeping with the theme of not letting the board die: what is the best or most flattering compliment you've received while pregnant.  There's always talk about the rudest comments but I know lots of you ladies are told how great you look all the time (because you do!).

Mine would be a tie between: you make pregnancy look so easy and I wish I looked like you when I was pregnant.

Re: Best Compliment

  • After I had LO my sister told me my makeup still looked great. I wasn't wearing any. Apparently I had a post delivery glow. A few people told me how healthy/good I looked pregnant. Always nicer than the random strangers who think you're going to give birth at 7 months in target.

  • great one! everyone loves a feel good post!

    I've liked these:

    You are the happiest and most positive pregnant woman I have ever seen! (the Director of my department said that, I guess I come to work with a positive attitude and big smile everyday- then I roll around on the couch and whine and complain to DH when I get home ;)

    You look amazing, I wish I looked like you when I was pregnant!

    and my favorite- You are going to be such a great mom! as a FTm, that one makes me feel so good inside :)

  • Out and about while shopping 2 weeks ago I was in the checkout line standing straight towards the customer in front of me as I turned sideways to adjust something on the counter the lady behind me "WHOA!!!" then she proceeded to tell me about her pregnancys and such. I guess I don't look pregnant from behind? That makes me feel good.

  • I love it when people tell me that Im all belly- even though that isnt true - that Ive gained close to 50lbs already and that I can no longer walk without my thighs rubbing against one another! hahaha! Still makes me feel good though :)

  • The nurse at L&D on Saturday asked me if I felt puffy...

    I said, well my face does but that is because i am just getting big. She goes, big, you don't look big at all, you must not have gained barely any weight....

    So nice of her...42lbs later here I am!

  • What a nice idea for a thread!

     My due date is tomorrow, and I worked up until Saturday of last week.  All this past week, I had clients just NOW realize I was pregnant!  They'd ask when I was due, and I'd say, "Tuesday," and they'd get all shocked that it was so soon, and that I was still doing so fine working. :) I think a huge part of it is the good fortune that my baby's been sitting up so high, so I could move around easier!

    My other favorite thing was from our baby shower about a month ago.  Up until last week or so, I had absolutely ZERO swelling in my hands & feet, so I was so happy I could wear my wedding shoes (really cute teal heels) to the shower.  I got so many shocked compliments on the fact that I could walk around in them! hahaha

  • :) I feel like I could have written this post myself!!!!
  • I love this thread :c)  Definitely the biggest compliment is that I don't seem "due".  I think because I am still working full time, and manage to have a cheery disposition.  I am trying my best to keep a smile on my face, and love every minute of my pregnancy til LO arrives.  Oh and I'll never get tired of "you don't look that far along" ;c)
