WDYT: Lie about how far along you are?

in 3rd Trimester

I'm really getting sick of snide comments from well meaning, stupid people.  Comments such as:  "They ain't put you on bed rest yet?" , "Oohh you got a LONG way to go!!",  ""Ugh, I don't like your fat face!", "Hey Big Mama", and "How much weight have you gained?  Ooohh, I STILL haven't lost all my baby weight and it's been 15 years! ( Indifferent )

I'm thinking I'm going to start saying that I'm due in June 09 and see people's reactions.  Or maybe tell them that I was due back in May of 08.  Maybe that will shut up these fools!

WDYT?  Worth a try?

    Lord the look on their faces if you tell them May of 08 would be hysterical.  People just need to learn to keep their mouths shut!!!

    I actually had someone come up to me that hadn't seen me in a long time and said that it took them a long time to lose their baby weight too - they thought my belly was still from DS.  I told them I was pregnant again and it got really uncomfortable.

    People lose all common sense and manners when talking to pregnant women.  It's nuts.

    LOL. Do it.

    Most people are so oblivious, if you said June '09 they would accept that as normal and move on...

    Sound's like a plan to me. When people ask me about my weight I return the question with "I about 40 lbs. How much have you gained?"image

    Definitely do it! I don't know why people lose their filters when it comes to PG women.

    It's really sad, but I think you're right!  I'd have time to make my escape while they were doing the math...

    After a comment from a complete stranger back in August asking if I was due soon, and then asking if I was having twins when I told her I was due in December, I decided anytime anyone asked when I was due my response would be next month with triplets.  You can't believe how many people would still tell me I looked huge!  I think some people just enjoy getting under others skin.

    I tell people different dates all the time. It's getting more and more fun. I told someone yesterday that I had the baby the day before and the look on her face was priceless!
