Are you my doctor?

No?  Then mind your own f'ing business!

I stopped at Starbucks this morning for the much talked about salted caramel hot chocolate (heaven in a cup, btw).  During the five-block walk between Starbucks and my office, SEVEN people that I don't know came up to tell me I shouldn't be drinking coffee.  Gee, thanks!  I don't know how I made it to eight months pregnant without knowing that I should limit caffeine.

Argh!  I would be so pissed.  I have a can of Coke with my lunch every Friday as a treat and it makes me insane when people look at me like I am causing some awful harm to my baby.  I hope you enjoyed your Starbucks even in the midst of the rude people!!  Sounds delicious!

People just really need to mind their own business.  Did you say anything back to them?  I know I would have by the last person.  They would probably have been told to F off. LOL

I would have said something back to them, it's not their problem!  And everything my dr shows me says you can have up to 2 caffeinated drinks a day!!!  But apparently we are supposed to deprive ourselves for 9 months with aches and pains!  Wish you had a better morning!

I will never understand why complete strangers feel the need to offer advice unsolicited. Drives me crazy! I am tired of the "Are you allowed to eat/drink that?".....No I just thought I would chose after 31 weeks to poison the baby I am carrying!!! freaks!

The first two I just rolled my eyes at, after that, I did actually ask if they were my doctor or another medical professional.  Seeing them get all flustered and embarassed did make me feel better!

good for you candreco- i love being able to embarass people back after they have done something stupid like that (its the high school girl left in me!!) too many people seem to feel like they are experts in everything!!

I'm glad you said that to them!  People really need to mind their own business.

What was your response?

At least you're getting hot chocolate.  I still get my white mocha (with the dirty looks)!

I usually do get a latte... milk is good, right?

How do they even know what you had in your cup?  Geez, that's terrible!

B/f pg, my blood type was coffee and Mt. Dew!  I went off it during the first and most of the 2nd tri., but I can't hold out anymore. Even though I only have a cup a day now, people tell me I have become much more enjoyable to be around.=

I'm surprised I haven't heard any flack from anyone. I go to starbucks at least 3 times a week for a caramel macchiato....I drink coffee in my office if I don't stop at starbucks......And I get sweet tea with lunch some days. I guess I'm just "awful". HA
