Rudest pregnancy comment...

Jenelle101 · January 2012

I literally just posted about 10 minutes ago how I hate not feeling any symptoms because I feel like something might be wrong. (I realize that women don't always have symptoms early on)... Well DH's cousin just said to me, "The sicker you are the healthier the baby is. That's not a good sign that you're not sick." What a beotch! Yes, she's had 4 kids, but are you serious?!!?! I was just telling you how I'm worried because I don't have any symptoms, and then you make a comment lie that?!?! I was so pissed. What a moron. Luckily, I'm smart enough to realize that this isn't true...

I have a co-worker that keeps telling me about all these people having miscarriages and babies with problems. Then she sends me an article about how dangerous epidurals can be. Why would you feel comfortable telling me this? Oh that's right, because you're rude and have no filter. So annoying.

Wow. Just wow. Was he dropped on his head as a child?

FWIW, I wasn't sick with DD at all, and she's quite healthy.

That really is so rude. I don't understand some people. At least you recognize how incorrect she is. Don't stress too much. Everything will work out.

That's crazy. I didn't have ANY morning sickness with either of my first two (boys) and I was nauseous (but never threw up) all the time with third (girl). I am sick again this time but no puking yet. Anyways - be thankful you're not sick and it has no bearing on healthy babies...I have two to disprove that theory!!

That is probably the rudest thing I have heard about so far. And is a wives tale. There is absolutely no truth behind it.

i guess i just couldn't decide which post of yours to respond to...since this goes right along with the one you posted 3-4 posts ago...

so to what most of the pp's have already said:

not everyone has "symptoms" with my son pregnancy was a breeze! so super easy and aside from my belly (which didn't pop until after 6 months) and the kicks i never "felt" like i was pregnant. most ppl didn't even know i was pregnant.

with this one i got my bfp before my period was even late which meant that i was barely 4 weeks pregnant and i felt fine until about 6-7 weeks in which m/s came in full force and i was nauseous all the time and puked at least 1x time a day, it was awful.

**just want to warn you that although you really really want to "feel" pregnant it's going to take some time and i don't know how much sympathy you'll get b/c those who have terrible m/s as in they need medication to keep from puking ALL DAY LONG, are going to flame you for posting this....just an fyi.

What?! That is soo far from the truth...My grandma, mom, sisters and myself, so far, have never actually been physically sick while pregnant and all of them had healthy babies...My grandma had 7 healthy babies with out morning sickness. Glad you didn't let her worry you...That's crazy! Surprise

I'm not going to flame her, because I get it. I remember wishing for m/s with my first pregnancy.
But I will say, OP, if you do end up being lucky enough to not have it...be really thankful, 'cause it SUCKS.

good call, i should have stated that some may flame you. and we all know how that goes down, lol.

Ha! And thanks...I will definitely feel lucky, and I totally get why people would hate me for saying it. I'm just in that stage where I feel like it isn't real and not having any symptoms isn't helping. I start thinking "Maybe it's a chemical pregnancy and that's why I don't have symptoms.." I know...I'm thinking too much about it. But if everything is okay, I will definitely look back and be thankful!

That is so rude! I am a little past my fifth week and don't feel much. I was worrying about it today as I don't have my first u/s until end of 9th week. I feel thirsty but maybe I ate too much salty food, and I pee alot but maybe its cuz I am drinking more water. Oh well. I was worried when I wasn't getting preggers and now that I am I'm finding something else to worry about. Good to know others are feeling the same way. Just keep in touch with this message board where people are supportive and know what you are going through. I'm planning on limiting confiding in people unless I really have a close relationship with them. Let's stay positive these next few weeks till first tri is over!

At least you know now not to listen to anything she says about pregnancy or raising a baby. That is so not true. From my personal experience, I didn't have any m/s with DS and he is perfectly healthy. He is even a daycare kid and hardly ever gets sick.

I am hoping that this pregnancy is the same and I have no m/s!

MWoodside · January 2012

It's pretty early to be sick anyway. I got sick at 6 wks with DD & 7 wks this time. It still might be coming.

BUT no sickness =/= unhealthy pg. It is true that sickness is a good sign, but no sickness isn't a bad sign.

Here's my rudest comment so far: "I wondered if you were pg because you've been looking more hippy from the back". Indifferent

The sad part is I got the same comment from a different rude coworker at 14 wks last time. Sad. I guess I have to accept my butt gets bigger when I'm pg. LOL.

Tash13 · January 2012

I had very, very few symptoms with my first and had a very healthy baby boy. Tell her if she doesn't have anything smart to say, not to say anything at all.

Celtic Ember · January 2012

What a freaking idiot. Rudest one I had was with DS, I had a far to early ultrasound and outed myself at work when I was freaking over it at 6 weeks. Male co-worker looked at me and said 'this is your first? Don't worry, you'll miscarry anyway. Women always miscarry the first.'

I nearly punched him.

Shamber2010 · January 2012

I'm a little over 10 weeks and have not felt m/s in the least. I know my baby is growing with a strong heartbeat with my last ultrasound on Sunday. I completely understand what you mean though. I feel like I should "feel more" pregnant, and am only really reassured each time I see the baby. It was ignorant and downright rude of her to make that statement to you. How dare she make you doubt the baby growing inside of you.

ATMmom324 · January 2012

Get used to it. You will spend the next 9 months hearing people say the rudest and stupidest things. I had one coworker who constantly told me stories of her multiple miscarriages and idiotic medical advice. She weekly would ask me if I was sure I am pregnant because I didn't look it. At one point I was so frustrated I wanted to throw pee sticks and sonogram pictures at her. I am dreading telling coworkers this time around and want to try and keep it secret as long as possible to avoid the stupid. If it makes you feel any better my DD is perfectly healthy and I barely had any morning sickness.
