I'm in a meeting this morning and a co-worker of mine, *Donna* (who is due a month before I was and KNOWS I had a m/c) was in the meeting as well.
One of my other co-workers had on an adorable shirt, and as we're all complimenting it, Donna goes, "I WISH I could could wear cute tops like that, but I have to wear these hideous maternity clothes because of this stupid pregnancy."
I gave her one of those "you don't even know what you just wished for" looks, along with a "get over yourself" eye-roll.
Grrr.
Re: "I have to wear these hideous maternity clothes"
Tell he she can wear this instead:
MC 9/8/10
Baby Boy Born 7/31/11
Dumb skank.
However, out of deference for that poor, innocent LO she is carrying, I will not wish her any harm that might hurt the baby (e.g., the throat punch she deserves).
So instead, I will wish upon her rampging dandruff, pinkeye, and a thousand tiny papercuts doused with rubbing alcohol.

Be kinder than necessary, for everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.
Third!! I was waiting for the part of your story where you would sweep the leg and kick her.
Fourth!
I wouldn't have just gave her that look, I would have told her that straight to her face. What a douche!

This stupid pregnancy huh?
They make VERY cute maternity clothes today, she should see what they used to wear YEARS ago. tell her to shut her "pie hole" and be thankful things are running as smoothly as possible with her "stupid pregnacy".
Ok, so that last line about shutting her pie hole wasn't nice. BUT, in my defense Those comments are so irritating.
Remembering Evelyn and raising Bailey
Evelyn Born at 24wks 6days on May 22, 2010 due to pre-e Passed away May 25, 2010
BFP# 2 Delivered 6wks early due to preeclampsia
Ditto. Especially the paper cuts.
She sounds like a gem, AW much?
I went to GapKids last week and discovered that they put a maternity section in. Great. I want to wear maternity clothes (whine).
Why do people say things like that?? I had a FB "friend" say "cleaning out this basement is going to be the demise of my pregnancy."
WTF?!?!

That's when I'd come out with my famous, "Are you f*cking kidding me?!" line followed by the death stare at her.
I reserve that for very rare occasions. This would be one of them.

:::Scrounging around, looking for her DH's pistol:::
Found it! She needs a good pistol whipping!
I can't believe she would say such a terrible thing as "stupid pregnancy"...I still think people should have to apply for a permit to reproduce..I'm just saying..
Oh she is lucky all she got was a look!
I would have offered some lovely words with that look.
