Wow. A co-worker just said to me:

"Damn H you like you're having that baby today."  Indifferent  I don't care how big I look (this is a really flowy dress so it does make me look bigger) why would you think you can say that to me?!

Re: Wow. A co-worker just said to me:

  • Whoa, that is really, really rude.  I'd have thought of something snarky to say back, but I think maybe I would have been speechless. 
  • Loading the player...
  • I would have snapped ! Ugh...people are just unbelievable

  • Wow----- is all i can sayHuh?
  • Umm...big time FAIL.  You're early on in your pregnancy, and even if the dress makes you look bigger, it's not cool to imply that you look 9 months' pregnant.  That's just not right.

    People continue to amaze me and leave me speechless.

  • Hehe, you should have said "At least I have an excuse for looking this way."  See how she likes that.  Bet it won't go over well, she should know better.

    I said something like this when an idiot said something about my best friend when she was PG. I said, "She's pregnant. What's your excuse?"

    Love it!  I can't believe people can be so rude, and we are our only advocates.  I haven't gotten any shady comments, but I doubt I will tolerate them well with these hormones!!

    Oh no, the worst part is, it was a guy!  Thankfully all my other coworkers in earshot looked mortified on his behalf.  I was just so shocked all I could say was a sarcastic, "Gee thanks, R".

    Bahaha, thats even better!  Next time he says something like that, spit it right back at him!  Yikes.  What a jerk! 

  • People just don't think before they speak.  Just wait until you're in the 3rd trimester though, you will hear this WAY too many times.
  • That is so awful, what a jerk!

  • Totally rude.  Wait til you really are looking pregnant.  I think I was around my 7th month when multiple people started telling me that they "couldn't believe" how huge I was.  Definitely something every mom-to-be hopes to hear, lol!!

  • That's appauling! I had a co worker mention that it looks like I've gained a little weight (they know I'm pg) when I haven't gained anything yet. Totally rude! WTF are people thinking?
  • People say the rudest things to pregnant women. My office mate is constantly asking me if I'm sure I'm only having one baby.
