First rude comment of my pregnancy... :(

The resource teacher at my school and I were talking today and she told me that my pregnancy was poor timing since it affects my ability to return to my job next year (limited contract). I was speechless! Her comment definitely didn't help me since I'm already really upset that I may never be able to return to this specific teaching position. Seriously, some people should not be allowed contact with the public!

Well...to give her the benefit of the doubt, maybe she just meant it in a "that totally sucks" kind of way, as opposed to kind of blaming you for the bad timing.  Some people just don't know how to say things!

I don't know what is wrong with people.  The girls I work with have done a complete 180 since I got pregnant.  Everyone is looking for things to bring me down.  It's crazy!

Maybe this. I said something so horribly awful to a physician my OB referred me to. The doctor was asking me general questions about my pregnancy and then said that he never had a pregnant wife experience because she wasn't able to, that his 3 are adopted. Then I go and open my stupid mouth and say "well there's probably good and bad to that."  ugh. I doubt thats how he and his wife feel. I instantly felt like an ass and I should have apologized and retracted right then. I honestly don't know what the hell I was thinking. Maybe she just had a temporary stroke of idiot.

It seems that when it comes to pregnancy, people completely lose their sense of tact and are rude without them actually realizing it.  People comment on your weight, your body shape, your symptoms, your timing, your "preparation", etc where in normal circumstances they wouldn't.  Just something I've noticed.  Most of the time they mean well and aren't actually trying to purposely be rude but it comes out that way.  I just let it slide.  There are more important things for me to worry about.
