Re: Tell about your 1st stranger comment

  • I was around 14 weeks and a friend of my aunt's asked me when I was due (she didn't know I was pregnant beforehand, she had just met me) - kind of gutsy of her, but I had really popped out around then and was happy that someone noticed.

  • I was about 16-17 weeks, I think. It was a patient. She looked at my belly when I took off my coat and said AW When are you due?
  • It just happened today actually. i was at a work event and a guy that works at the same company (I work at a HUGE company so I don't actually know him other than to know he works there too) walked up and stuck his belly out and goes 'So which of us has the bigger belly"

    I just said "Give me another month and we'll try again. We'll see if I beat you yet"

  • A guy asked me when I was due and I said July.  Then he looks down at me and says "do you think you're gonna make it that long?"

    I know I don't have a pic up or anything, but take my word for it, the bump is that big at all.  He only new I was pregnant because he heard someone around me mention it.  I really wanted to extend my fist to his jaw.

  • Hasn't happened yet and I don't expect it for weeks. I'm carrying small thus far.
  • Around 10 weeks I walked into a new yoga class at my gym--not prenatal--and the teacher asked how far along I was.  Granted, I was in tightish yoga clothes so the bloat bump was pretty noticeable.  I told her and that was it.  The comments have kept coming since then.   
  • It didn't come until 21w exactly (and I've been in maternity jeans since 8w, due in large part to IVF bloat).  It was the checker at the grocery store and she was so excited she screamed "oh my gosh, you're pregnant!"  She then refused to let me pack my groceries and just about killed me when I told her I'd take the cart to the car by myself.  She was about 20 and so adorable I could've kissed her.

  • Today was the first day I got one. I'm a law librarian, and when I was helping an attorney at the reference desk, she just casually asked me if I was having a baby and then when I was due. Nothing rude or inappropriate, thank goodness.
  • Mine was at about 15 weeks and my achne has been really, really bad.  I had a male that I work with ask me if I had chicken pox's.  I politly said "no just achne"  Even if I did like I would be at work comeon.......  He didn't know that I was pregnant either.

  • Someone from work came up to me last week (15 weeks) and started patting my belly!  She kept telling me how nice and firm it was and wouldn't stop touching it.  It was nice to be noticed, but I hardly know this woman!! I wanted to touch her belly and do the same thing back!
  • Valentine's Day dinner- a couple days shy of 14 weeks. A lady in the bathroom said, "How much longer do you have?" Weird wording for me to be so early. Pic in sig from that night.
  • Hasn't happened yet but I'm assuming people are thinking it and are afraid to say anything. 
  • I'm an 8th grade English teacher...and one of my students was the first to ask. He was actually very diplomatic about it! He called me over to his desk and said, "Miss, can I ask you a question?" I nodded and he said, " Do you want to have kids?" I could already see where this was going, so I said yes. He then said, "soon?" I almost died laughing. I told him yes, and his eyes about bugged out of his head. Then he said "Are you...now???" I told him that yes, I am preganant. From there it was only a matter of SECONDS until the whole class knew. Then THEY all ran in the hall during passing and told all their friends. I was quite the topic of conversation for a few days. It was pretty cute.
