Seriously want to punch my coworker

in Pregnant after a Loss

Our receptionist has always been a "b" to me.  She's been better lately, but I just told her that I joined the gym in our building since it's getting too cold to walk outside. 

Her: You're going to workout while you are pregnant??  My grandma said that walking is the only thing ok in pregnancy.

Me:  Well, I mostly do walking anyways. (Eyeroll, not even mentioning that I'm planning to lift light weights and do the eliptical too)

Her:  (After I just got back from flying to Austin last weekend).  You know, I have a friend that had a really hard time conceiving, and when she finally did, she went on a flight at 5 months, and her water broke and she lost her baby.  I would NEVER fly when I was pregnant.  Actually, I never do anything while I'm pregnant.  I just put my feet up and relax the whole time.

Me:  Well, I just flew to Austin and everything is fine.  (walked away so pissed!)  

Seriously, why do people think they know EVERYTHING and can tell you what to do while you are pregnant??

    You should say "oh, I forgot- talking to ignorant people is a big no-no while pregnant" and then walk away. Sorry she's being such a pita.

    You're almost 5 months and just came back from flying to Austin and that is the gem of advice she gives you?!  I want to punch your coworker and I don't even know her.  I think she is the person they invented the throat punch for.

    "They say that stress can be really bad for a baby, so I'd appreciate it if you could stop talking to me for the duration of my pregnancy... Oh, and for the entire time I'm breast feeding too, it's supposed to interfere with let down."

    Seriously though, how annoying. I hope she keeps her mouth shut around you from now on, but sounds like that's unlikely!

    Suddenly the world seems such a perfect place.
    Suddenly it moves with such a perfect grace.
    Suddenly my life doesn't seem such a waste,
    It all revolves around you.
