Will you pregnant people stop complaining!

krismott25 · October 2011

Please feel free to call me a b**** for what i'm about to say but i'd really like to body slam this pregnant girl at work. She is five minutes pregnant (ok really 5 weeks but still) and already with the cravings, and head cold, and nausea, and blah blah blah. This woman knows in depth what I have been going through and had the nerve to say to me yesturday.... "I was pissed it took me so long to get pregnant. I know exactly how you feel." I thought i might clock her! it took 3 months 3MONTHS!!!!! for her to get pregnant. Me 5 years and counting my friend. Am i alone? It is pure torture to have to listen to these people complain about what I want more than anything. I could understand if they don't know and I don't want to be treated like I'm a fragile but a little sensativity would be nice. What do you all do to get over this (i personally cried in the bathroom.. not too sure that's exactly affective)

I completely understand. My SIL used to tell me how much she hated being pregnant and how horrible it was that she was sick all the time. Finally, I had heard enough and at a family dinner (everyone sitting around the table) with her complaining I said "I would gladly vomit every day for the rest of my life is somoene told me I could have a baby". Everyone was silent and I have never heard a complaint again. sorry your coworker sucks.

I completely understand. I had a girl who worked on the same floor as me get pg with twins right before her wedding. Found out when she got home from her honeymoon. She was complaining the entire time. Then at 12wks she started talking about how she was ready to have those kids out of her. It pissed me off. I finally told her to stop complaining to me. If she delivered then, the babies would not survive. She still complained. So I just started avoiding and ignoring her.

IT SUCKS!

I totally understand. My co-worker next to me compalins about her kid all the time and it takes everything in me not to throat punch her and steal her child every day.

I definitely understand. My twin sister is pregnant with twins that are due in January. She also suffered infertility, but she hit a complaining phase back in July/August and I had to let her know that this is what she had been praying for and to embrace all the feelings and be thankful for it!

I definitely understand that she is very thankful, but I felt like I was hearing more about the discomfort than the great things. She understood, but it was so frustrating until I finanlly said something!

I hear this! I work for someone who is pregnant all all i have heard is how awful her pregnancy has been, and how sick shes been, and her sore feet. It's like shut up already, i would gladly trade places with her on her worst day and my best.

My DH's brother was complaining to him the other day about how awful his pregnant wife has been. They're on baby #2 and both times have gotten pregnant immediately. We're happy for them. I wouldn't wish this on anyone. But I told him he should appreciate what he has. Lots of people, including my DH, would love to have wives complaining about pregnancy. lol.

That's really sucky of your co-worker. This story is priceless. Maybe you should borrow BeeBee's line...
