What's your biggest pet peeve since you became pregnant?
MIne is having people use the pencils on my desk until they break and then putting them back without sharpening them=)

When it's obvious I could use some help and DH continues to lay on the couch and watch t.v. ?Then he asks me why I have an attitude!
Actually everything sets me off easy!?
Anyone smoking within a 100 foot radius of me. Before it was just gross. Now I take it personally.
When DH is eating he deep throats the spoon or fork. And he shovels food in his mouth like he's never seen it before.
Cereal is the worst. It always falls out of his mouth or he gets milk in the corners of his lips. I usually scowl at him in disgust until he gets up and eats elsewhere.
He just started to do this after you got pregnant?
Ditto....except that they were bad before I got pregnant....
For me, it's definitely when people ask how far along I am, and when I reply "5 months", they say "oh wow! You're still just getting started!" or "You're barely even pregnant, then!" What? In no other act of life do people consider being half way through something to be "just getting started".
Perhaps only pregnant women can actually realize this, but every single week, even day, of pregnancy can feel like a huge accomplishment sometimes.
And as someone who went through three straight months of round the clock morning sickness in her first trimester, knows the sex of her baby, has already been to 20+ prenatal, ultrasound, and other pregnancy related doctor's appointments, and has known she was pregant since she was only three weeks along, I feel far from "just getting started"!
No it only has recently started to disgust me. Pretty much watching anyone else eat disgusts me, but he's the only one I ever see. :-)
People asking me when I'm going to start to show. I feel huge, I have a huge belly, why doesn't anyone see it?
Oh and comments like bluebelle gets. People ask how far along I am, I say 25 weeks and they say oh you have a long long way to go.. really?
OMG SNATCHFACES - I just spit out my milk! LOL
When people start telling me I must do this, or I must do that. Leave me alone.
Trying to find clothes to wear to work can really get me in a tizzy- nothing fits right or looks good!
Also, lately I can't stand the way my husband eats, especially cereal. I'm sure it hasn't changed but for some reason now it is the most annoying sound in the world!
I would have to say what annoys me is that just because I'm pregnant people are offering me cheese fries and all the food on their desk at work. UUGGH.. Then yesterday I was on the lunch line and they wanted to double my portion because I was eating for 2. That might sound nice, but it gets old. Stop treating me like I'm a human vaccuum!!!!!!
My biggest pet peeve is when people, especially those that I do not know, feel the need to touch my stomach and give me all this advice in the world as if I even asked in the first place.
I was standing in the checkout like at the grocery store and this woman just walks up behind me to stand in line and reaches around and feels my belly. First off, I am not even that big that you would instantly know that I am pregnant. Secondly, rude much?
So I turned around and felt her belly and asked her how far along she was...
It depends on the day.....today...pretty much people IRL.
At the moment, my MIL and the way my DH handles it. She said something about people wondering if I'm having twins because of my belly (they haven't seen me, so they on ly know what others tell them), and yesterday she said that I just popped right out right away. Grrr....
Then when I tell DH, he thinks I'm just being sensitive. Yeah, because women LOVE to hear they're fat....
