kind of ticked (vent)

patiencewilson · August 2011

I confided in a co-worker last week about my pregnancy...only because she seen me vomitting my breakfast and didn't believe my "I ate something bad" excuse...and I swore her to secrecy (pardon my spelling). Ever since I confided in her she has been making comments if you will and hinting about me being pregnant around other co-workers. THEN today she comes up and starts rubbing my belly and talking freaking baby talk to it!!!! She did this in a room full of people!!! Oh I was so mad! For 1...I swore her to secrecy and now she has outted me...and 2...I'm only 6 weeks for crying out loud!! There is no baby belly there...only my regular somewhat fat belly. I went so red in the face, I thought I was going to cry! I was so furious...I didn't yell at her but man she could sure tell I was ticked right off! The others in the room just sat there dumbfounded because they didn't know what to do or say as I am swatting at her hands and trying to get away from her asking her what she is doing. I definately didn't want the word to get out that way that's for sure...I was trying to keep it a secret at least until 12 weeks or until I couldn't show up in my regular uniform anymore and I came to work in my maternity uniform. GGGRRRRR!!!!!

One of the ladies that was in the room at the time came over to me alone and whispered "Congratulations! Sorry she had to be such an idiot" I said "Thanks...I guess the secrets out now"

Thanks for letting me vent about that!

I am sorry that happened to you. People sometimes can only think of themselves. One thing I learned from this is if you dont want people to know dont tell because people even close relatives can't keep their mouthes shut and its not fair to us.

I just wish people would let pregnant women share the news when they are good and ready to and let them share it themselves! Even if they suspect you might be pregnant they should keep their mouths shut!

I don't understand why people feel it should be them sharing our news!

That really sucks. I'm so sorry she outed you.

You should have rubbed her belly back! I'm sorry she outed you that's not cool. I had a " friend" who kept trying to touch or rub my belly as soon asi got pregnant.. i was like 4-5 weeks and was like.. dont touch me!

What do people think that pregnant women are some kinda budda belly good luck charm or something. I hate when people rubbed my belly with my first and people sorta got the hint so I am hoping this time around they won't

You should have punched her! just kidding! But I don't know why she felt the need to rub your belly when you're only six weeks and especially in front of all your coworkers. Some people are idiots. Sorry Confused

My goodness! That is just AWFUL!! I am so so soo sorry that you had to endure that. That woman is so ignorant and rude. It is obvious that she is intentionally going out of her way to bug you. If I were you, I would talk to your manager. Explain that you don't appreciate the gesture (such as rubbing your stomach) and that you would like it if everyone just dropped the subject for now until you officially announce everything.

Wow, she sounds very immature. Some people spoil all the fun. Sorry. Sad
