  • Awesome. They shouldn't say these things to ANY pregnant woman, IMO. But, I've gotten:

    Are they sure they got the dates right? Actually, no they're not...it's a guess, not a guarantee.

    And, "Your belly is HUGE." This one almost reduced me to tears. I was 32w at the time.

  • And this is why when I was overdue I tried not to go into public or talk to anyone I didn't have to. People are mean and insensitive and being overly pregnant doesn't help.

    This is exactly what I plan to do as my due date approaches.  I'm already tired of the questions, "You're still here!?"  or, "When are you due???" from people who *literally* ask on a daily basis.
