insults...
I'm bored,,,,
let's hear some of the best/worst insults you've had people tell you to your face.... here's some of mine:
"You must be having a girl because they always take their mother's beauty"
"Wow, your sister only gained in her belly, but you'rve gained it everywhere!"
"So you're sure you're not having twins?!" (I've heard this one about 30 times)
This discussion has been closed.
Re: insults...
"You have two months left?" *pause* "How big is this baby going to be?"
I just laughed to myself.
THIS! I get this all the time. Or just the shocked look when I tell them my due date.
I've heard the twins one SO many times! It gets so frusterating. People must not know what carrying twins looks like because I know I do not look like Im carrying twins. Also, one of my co-workers said. "Well when I was pregnant I never got nearly as big as you have I gained about 18 pounds, and I felt huge, I bet your feeling pretty big now!" that was when i was probably 25+ weeks. My boss said "You're going to be surprised when you pop out twins, there has to be two babies in there!" That was all when I was 2nd trimester. I haven't gotten much bigger since then, so now people say...."Are you sure your eating?" Your baby is going to be TINY! either way people find things to nit pick
.
SIL's accusation to me that I botched my BCP on purpose.
MIL telling me I'm gaining too much weight compared to how much weight she gained 30 years ago with SIL. She gained a total of 15 lbs.
You're due Thanksgiving? Are you sure about that, because you are huge! I mean, I thought I got big when I was pregnant but wow!
You're having two so close together? Forgot the birth control, huh?
You are definitely having a girl. Your belly is really wide and your butt is growing like crazy!
Oh, you're having a girl. I guessed that because you look so worn out and pale. Girls always take their mom's beauty.
... There are times when I wish that I didn't work with the public...

Just yesterday me and my boyfriend were standing in line at the cash register and he was giving me a hard time about something and the cashier said "Do you think you can pick on her just because she is BIG"......I wanted to punch her in the face!
Another one from last week "Have they told you (the doctor) that you were going to have a big baby yet?" ......Also wanted to punch her in the face.
One from yesterday from my boyfriends brother in law "Jees, everytime I see one of you pregnant ladies I think I have seen the biggest one yet and then the next one comes along"!!!!! Meaning that out of everyone who has been prego in the family I AM THE BIGGEST so far!!!
So true! It's like you'd think people would be extra sensitive to a pregnant woman feeling insecure about her appearance, but instead they point out the exact things you are sensitive about!
OH MY GOD! What did you respond with? I wouldn't have been able to contain myself!
Hostess- "Table or booth?"
Me- "Booth, please."
Hostess- "Are you sure you can fit in a booth?"
BTW, I am not that big...
"You can't have twins without IVF and IVF is an abomination to God."

I think I may have heard them all:
-One lady told me I was having a boy before I found out the sex and said it was because my face was breaking out so badly
-The old man neighbor told DH he couldn't believe we still had so far to go because I "really ballooned up!"
-My grandmother told me my arms were getting fat
-My aunt told me my butt was getting wide
-I was asked by a random lady in an elevator if I was having twins
I might have walked out on that one!
A hostess at a restaurant asked if I "would make it through dinner" two weeks ago. I said yup, but if I go into labor will dinner be free?
At my husband's soccer game said "I hope you wait to get home to pop this guy out". I was like "No way! He's a future soccer player so why not have him right here on this field?!"
I also get plenty of "are you having more then one" comments, but I gotta say by the looks of me I don't blame them. I stayed pretty slim all over, but my belly sticks out a mile outward.
No one has said anything insulting to me... which kinda scares me in a way.. like is everyone saying "You look so great" because I look so horrible its they feel sorry for me?
I've gained 40 lbs since my wedding 2 years ago (20 of which is pregnancy pounds) and I am huge compared to how I used to be.
I have had ALL of those comments plus some...but FINALLY today I had my first ViCtOrY as a pregnant woman....Here's how the conversation went:
"Oh MY GOSH....Oh Stacee, you poor thing! Oh my....you have until NOVEMBER before your due date? I Just don't think you are going to make it..."
To which I calmly replied "I was just at the doctor on Thursday, and believe it or not I am measuring EXACTLY what I should be. No more, no less. I guess being short you must think I am big the way you are reacting, but my doctor & hubby think I am perfect!"
And you know what? It felt SO GOOD when this lady's mouth hit the ground! LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT!!!
"...And you're HOW old?"
You sure there's only one in there!?!
You better put your feet up because your ankles are HUGE! (As if I wasn't aware they looked like life-preserving floatation devices.)
Your life is over! I'd kill myself if I would've got pregnant at your age! (Yep, my boss said that to me.)
-You don't know what you are talking about, Caffene will make your baby retarded
-So is this planned? It is? Oh, really?
-You and your husband were married 2 years ago? Oh, I thought you got married when you found out you were pregnant
-You are stupid for not drinking wine
-You look like you have put on 100lbs already!
-No trust me, I am always right, your doc was wrong, it's a girl.
-You dropped! (No, I'm just carrying him low) No, he dropped, he is going to be a preemie, watch.
-He is moving too much, you should ask your doc to take a look at that. That could be bad for his development
-It's good that your hips got so wide, now he fits.
"Your bigger now (31 weeks) then when my daughter had her baby (37 weeks). You must be having a big baby"- I was actually measuring small at my last appointment but whatever- you must know better than me and my doctor. Also her daughter is quite a bit taller than me- with me the baby has no where to go but out.
"You sure you are not having twins"- Which is particularly painful because I had twins and lost one early on. Thanks for reminding me of my pain- jerks.
" I don't know why anyone would want to bring a child into this world" spoken by a man I just met.
"Wow your never going to make it to your due date, there is no where for her to grow"
I've posted this on my month board before but it's a good one and needs to be spread around.
DH's Grandma: "How's fatty this morning?"
Yep, true story.

Yeah, I've heard a lot of these, plus-
"so you're pregnant, when are you guys getting married?" me: well, we talked about it before but for now we're just focusing on the baby... "Oh, well, maybe you should have thought about it earlier..." (me and SO have been together 7 years.)
and:
"Wow, Obviously you don't have long to go, you're huge!" (at about 31 weeks...)
then after making an extremely minor mistake in how I worded something:
"You're just getting too pregnant to work, I don't know where your head is but you keeping thinking of old information like you can't retain the new stuff..." (Yeah, My boss is a peach!) Now she's upset that I got put on Maternity Leave early by my Dr and now she's short staffed.lol
I was told by my friend's husband that IVF children don't have real parents. That they're "genetically engineered" freaking WOW. Gotta love some people's ignorance huh?
You would think "Wow...you're tiny!" is a compliment... but when it's followed by a face that looks like this
and the question "You're not starving yourself are you?" ... yeah not so much.
By the way ... I'm 5'11 and 200 lbs right now. nothing. tiny. about me.
