2nd Trimester
My baby is doing just fine thanks...(semi-vent)
Yesterday I was talking to a neighbor I had not seen in a while. She was outside when the Fedex man brought our bedding (we are returning it...colors are not right).?
Anyway...we are talking baby stuff and what not. I say, I know I don't look all that big, but I am really 6 months pregnant today.
Side note: I feel big, but I am tall and I think I am hiding the bump well. Plus I was not wearing something super tight yesterday to show off the bump.
Anyway...she says...yeah you do not look pregnant at all "are you sure the baby is okay?
Who asks that of a pregnant woman?
I tell her yes, the baby is fine. Just had a check up and a ultra sound and it is growing right on schedule.
I would never say that to someone...?

People need to keep their opinions on how big or small you should be to themselves. Coincidentally, my neighbor, an older man, asked me when I was due. I said early December, he replied, "there is no way your gonna make it that far from the looks of you." Really? I am not all that big.
I am starting not to like her. I thinks he also thinks we are strange for being on team green and said it was funny that I called the baby "it" instead of him or her.?
I said, well, we call it the squid at home...but I am sure that sounds strange to some people.
I am ignoring her, but I thought that was a rude statement. ?
That is yucky too. I guess if you look small...you are not eating enough and your baby is in trouble.
If you look big you should slow down on eating and good luck to you. Is it twins?
No matter what...people have a comment and they are rarely nice. ?
I agree that the comments are rude, but I don't honestly think people intend for them to be as they really don't have a filter between their brain and mouth, it seems.
When my SIL was pregnant, her FIL made a comment to her about how the baby had reached viability now and that he was anxious to meet the little one and would be okay if baby were earlier than the due date. This really upset her at the time as her previous pregnancy ended in m/c early-on and she was already a bit on edge about making sure things were okay. I didn't blame her when she immediately commented back, "baby can stay in my belly until it is TIME for them to come out, thank you very much...and I don't appreciate you wishing them out early for your own gain."
She felt a bit bad after saying it because it was more the hormones than something she would just blurt out...but he definitely hit a nerve.
