Babies on the Brain
Ouch - what would you have said?
Co-worker is pregnant after almost a year of trying (yay)
She wanted to wait to tell people until after her first ultrasound, but since she's been having morning sickness at work, people were starting to talk, so she figured she might as well tell the boss and supervisor at least.
One of them said to her "How far along are you? Oh, 8 weeks. Well, don't get too excited yet...."
How would you have responded? And does anyone else think that's as rude as I do?

Re: Ouch - what would you have said?
Are you asking how I would respond if a boss/supervisor said that to me? ?I would say "Today I excited because I am pregnant." ?Then I would muster up some ms and puke on his/her shoes.?

Yes, that's what I was asking.
Same coworker was sick the other day (NOT morning sickness...she has been fighting a horrible cold for about two weeks) and same supervisor told her to "suck it up and get used to it".
Maybe she hates pregnant people?

What an asshat. WHO says that to a pregnant woman.
That is the most throatpunchworthy comment I've heard in a long time, possibly ever.
Agreed, Jason's wife.
I probably would have said 'Why" and made them explain what they meant, because that would probably be uncomfortable and hopefully make them feel like a jerk. If it didn't, I would probably have said something sarcastic like "Really? I didn't REALIZE that anything could do wrong during pregnancy. Thanks for the heads up".
It's like how my brother-in-law told me the other day that we shouldn't buy anything for the baby before it's born, "in case something happens"....thanks, I wasn't paranoid enough already....
