QOTD: What's the funniest/strangest/most offensive pregnancy comment you've gotten so far?
me: No one's really commented too much on my pregnancy yet... but with me (going to be) having 2 under 2... I get an awful lot of "Good luck"s.

Re: First In '10 Monday Check-In
Question: How far along are you?
Me:14 weeks
Q: Are you having twins?
Me:NO
Q: WOW u are really big for 14 weeks..
well thank you for making me feel
a lot better lol..
"Wow! Are you carrying more then one in there?!"
Totally not good for my body image. lol
QOTD: my mom, who is generally a very nice person, has told me how fat I am, how I'm too fat and that's why I can't breathe (that's not what the doc said), she told me that I need to be exercising, she told me that my pelvic pain was all in my head, etc etc.
For the record, I've gained 5lbs.
big brothers 12.2009 and 02.2012
You can add me on team Blue!!!
I have gotten a stranger comment when I was like 10 weeks and no showing at all .. She said " Oh when are you due..." I said January adn gave her a dirty look!
Also my mom said that I am trying to stick out my tummy to get attention....
I haven't really gotten too many comments. The worst IMO was BIL's reaction to the news: "Um...(long pause)...Wow...That's big...(another long pause)...Oh, Congrats."
QOTD: I don't like the fact that every time DH or I post something on facebook like, "enjoying a lazy afternoon," or "going to see a movie" or something, some wisea$$ has to comment, "enjoy it now..."
We KNOW we're going to be busy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We are not idiots.
I loathe "advice" in general as my pregnancy progresses. The only people allowed to give me advice are the women in my family or my midwife. Period.
Oh... and there's the classic, "Were you trying?" I want to say, "You tell me about your sex life first then I'll tell you about mine."
Just some funny comments really... I am not showing at all so it is only friends who really know and talk about it.
One friend "Your Pregnant???? Congrats????" Um, yes we are happy, lol.
My favourite comment is always "Were you trying?" I"m never sure how to answer that one... especially when it comes from old ladies or people I don't know that well. I want to answer and say "Yes, we were trying and I was taking my temp and testing my mucous and having tons of wild sex", like seriously!
You can add me to team BLUE!
QOTD- I had a relative ask if I was having twins...What a self-esteem killer!
QOTD: What's the funniest/strangest/most offensive pregnancy comment you've gotten so far?
No one has made any comments yet but then again I don't look pregnant ... just fat.
QOTD: What's the funniest/strangest/most offensive pregnancy comment you've gotten so far?
Good question. I just had one today that I'm mad about. Our admin at work (she's an idiot) told me today when I announced that I am pregnant that she really hopes for my sake that we have a boy since my husband and I are so 'sporty.' I said "We'll be happy either way, girls can be sporty too." She said "well, not that sporty." I said 'Well apparently I'm THAT sporty if you are making that comment to me."
Wow, I can't believe I actually said something that shut her up! lol
Same here
QOTD: When people comment on what/how much I am eating.
Also, I had this gem. Friend: Are you going to find out what you are having? Me: We arent' sure yet. Friend: You should find out so you can buy stuff. Like I can't buy anything until I know if the baby has a penis or not. Hence now I am team green!
So far most comments are nice and positive. But when we had our u/s and I told my mom that the baby weighs 12oz, she said to me "Wow and you have already gained 11lbs?! Is your face and arms fat now?"
Gee, thanks mom.
Most offensive came from my DH!
I was complaining that my football jersey will no longer fit since I buy the little kid sizes (womens are too hard to find in stores) and I have a bump that is getting bigger and bigger.. His response " I have a old XXL one that should FIT YOU PERFECTLY once football starts". Umm, going from a kids large to a mens XXL- I knew I have grown but come on! He tried to redeem himself but just kept digging that hole deeper and deeper.
He has since ordered me a women's jersey off NFL.com because he felt so bad :-)?
QOTD: I'm always amazed at what people will say to pregnant women. People around me have been very positive - no real rude comments. Some people have said things to me about the way I look with the extra weight, but it doesn't really bother me.
DH has accused me of sticking my belly out to look more pregnant. Really, I'm not. At least, not intentionally.
Go Chargers!!! I just look fat so no comments..yet!
can u change my EDD it has changed to 01/31/2010
and we are planning on finding out the gender!
I haven't had a single "stranger comment" yet. I know it's coming soon though because I LOOK more than twenty weeks. Which leads me to my aunts comments...
At my sister's pool party the other day, both of my aunts tried to tell me that I MUST be further along than I THINK I am because I am so big. Um... no. I know exactly when I got pregnant thanks to ten months of trying and OPK's.
Oh I get all the time how my life is never going to be the same and I'm going to have to give up my season seats to the Anaheim Ducks (hockey). Yeah right! I'm not giving up my seats
My FIL told me last night to take good care of his grandchild. Not really offensive, but I kept thinking, what you think I'm gonna go skydiving or have a beer? Oh wait, why not just do repeatedly belly flops in pool.
