what pg-related question are you sick of answering?
for me, it's "Are you excited?"
Of course I am. And if I wasn't, I certainly wouldn't go around admitting that to everybody!

Re: what pg-related question are you sick of answering?
"Are you excited?" that IS the dumbest question!
"Are you ready to be done?"
"Are you huge?" (from out of town family/friends)
"Are you sure there's not two in there?"
" How are you feeling?"
Um, actually I feel like sh!t, Im uncomfortable, I cant sleep, Im tired, I have hemmeroids (sp?) and I have been puking for 8 months. But I would never say that. I just say "fine"
"How are you feeling?" I actually feel fine most of the time, and when I tell people that, they don't know what to say. Most people are expecting me to moan and complain.
Also, now it's "Any labor signs?" Or, "has she come yet?" Nope, and you will get a call once I'm either in the hospital or after I've given birth. So stop calling.
Are you done yet?
I actually surprise everyone by always saying no. Actually this baby is NOT full term and regardless of whether I am sore it's part of being pregnant so Nope I want my baby to stay inside for at least a few more weeks thanks.
This is more post-PG related but I am sick of "are you going back to work after the baby arrives?".
I never realized so many were interested in my career choices.
This.
"How are you feeling."
"Do you have any weird cravings?"
I have a few:
"How are you feeling?" is my number one question. "How much weight have you gained?" As if your fvcking eyes don't work. "Do you know what you're having?" Yes, a person. "Have you picked out a name?" Yes, but I don't want your opinion so I don't want to tell you. "Are you ready to be done?" No, I actually enjoy gaining a bunch of weight, having swollen feet and hands and waking up a million times a night. Actually, I only got pregnant so that I could keep this baby in me forever. "Do you have any cravings?" Why are you going to buy me some strawberry applesauce and mozzarella sticks?
I will say that being pregnant has been an eye opening experience. I will def be more considerate of other pregnant people from now on in addition to watching what I say.
this!
I would flip my shyt if someone asked me this. No, I've just started stealing watermelons as my new profession. I had my baby and didn't tell anyone and I'm hiding him/ her in my pocket.
I second all of the above posts,
I will have to add, from DH's grandmother, she keeps asking if he moves around. I keep thinking.....you had kids....I am close enough to the end that you should know that I MUST be feeling him move or something would be wrong.
"How much longer?" or "What's your due date?"
Someone asks me this every day. It seems like it's the same person every day, too.
It seems like an innocent question, but I dread it because when I tell them my due date they stare at my belly, jaw agape, as if I'm a freak of nature. I've started just answering either "not much longer" or "anytime now would be fine with me" with a smile and pray they don't ask for specifics.
This.this.this.!!!!
Have you had that baby yet?!
This is asked by people standing RIGHT in front of me.. seriously. So today I told someone "why yes I did" and he stared at me for a second and asked how old she was.... SERIOUSLY.
the how are you feeling? When I say, I'm done, just exhausted. Then they say, oh No you're not. Well why the fvck did you ask?
I want to avoid all people from now until when this kid is out, at this point I don't think i can even say anything nice anymore.
This, exactly.
DD1 born 5/24/10.
Missed M/C at 14 wks Feb 2012.
DD2 born 5/14/13.
Missed M/C at 9 wks July 2015.
that MIL phone call with the leading voice "how are we feeling today"
Honestly, I feel like my throat is burning out my body, the kid is trying to rip is way out of me some direction OTHER than the predetermined exit, and at some point i would like be able to sleep comfortably on my stomach again! But to answer what you are actually asking, no i'm not in labor yet!
This for me too. I don't know how many people have asked me at work in the past couple of weeks - "you're still here?" or "is that baby ever going to come out" - yes I am still here & I feel huge enough and don't need to be reminded daily thanks.
THIS EXACTLY. Everyone seems to think I am due NOW, when I really have a month to go... if I have to deal with this crap for a month, I will seriously strangle someone.
"You haven't had that baby yet?"
Do I LOOK like I've had the baby? I'm only 7 months for chrissakes!
"Do you know what you're having?"
Yes, another girl. Which often leads to:
"Are you going to keep trying for a boy?"
WTF?
How are you feeling? is #1 on my list of questions I hate. But a close second is 'is ds excited?' which is usually followed by, 'he's in for a big surprise when he's not an only child anymore.' Yeah, he's 4- he may be excited, but he doesn't fully understand. And thanks for pointing out that you think we've ruined his life. Grrr.
Ok,I'm massively pg and really fed up. There's pretty much NOTHING you can ask me about this that will go over well.
This, exactly. Also, "How much weight have you gained?" Honestly, would you go around asking a non-pregnant woman her weight/weight gain? Just furthers my theory that people lose an internal filter around a pregnant woman.

"how are you feeling" is probably the question im the most sick of.
How are you feeling?
and have you caved and found out yet? since im team green...
How are you felling????
When are you due again????? (after telling people a million times when I am due)
"How are you going to manage with two?"
Oh. Thanks. I am freaked out enough as it is but way to make me feel better.
I work for a middle school band program of 260 kids and every day I go in 5 kids out of every class ask me if I've had my baby yet... despite the fact that it has been announced to every class that I'm due in MAY!!!
Oh and they love to ask if she's awake and if they can hear her. To this I say "Yes, just wait, she's going to start singing along here in a minute" and the poor kids look at me like its really going to happen, even though they all know it wouldn't be physically possible.
You're still here?
Are you sure you aren't due tomorrow?
Are you sure there isn't 3 of them in there?
Aren't you tired?
Usually the question of gee, how are you going to handle two little ones? Well, I plan on locking one in the closet, and one in the garage... I'm not the first person to have 2 under 2 people! I'm sure it will take some adjusting but I can figure it out!
And no, I'm not having twins, that is just how big my belly is. Thanks so much for pointing it out however, I hadn't noticed that I am the size of a whale.
