2nd Trimester

You have a long way to go!

I was buying some maternity cords on sale at kohl's last night and the lady asked me when I was due. ?I told her March 7th and she goes oh well you still have a longgg way to go!?

I do not think 3 and a half months is that long woman! I've already been pregnant for a full 6 months, now that is long!?

Re: You have a long way to go!

  • haha. what a rude troll. Did Kohls have anything good??

  • Someone told me that the other day! She asked when I was due and when I told her Dec 26 she was like yea you've got a ways to go. I'm sorry, but 5 weeks is not a long time! And happy 25 weeks to you!
  • Its like just cause it will be in 2009 they think it willl be far from now.  I'm getting that same thing!
  • I keep getting that too, everyone says "March is still a long way off!"  Any fun buys at Kohls?

  • I'm with the lady at Kohl's...March does seem like a long way away. I always tell people I've got a long way to go (3/30). Sure, you've been pg for this long, but 3 months is a long time to some people, too. Oh, I wish our Kohl's had maternity clothes worth anything. They have 2 racks of clothes and they all seem hideous to me.

  • we are due a day apart (march 6th for me!) 

    i get that a lot too, mostly from my dh though.  i try not to let it bother me, but i have never been more excited in my whole life so sometimes i want to scream!

  • I guess I get particularly frustrated because I'm due on March 2nd, so I don't even really count March.  But a PP has a point, I suppose everyone has a different idea of what a 'long time' is.

  • I'm not due until April 22nd, but people always act like it's coming up quickly...I'm still not quite halfway there. I feel like I have a LONG way to go, which I am glad about because I haven't even begun thinking about much of anything. :)

    Maybe they say it's a long way to go because my guess (and it's a guess since this is my first pregnancy) is that the last 2-3 months seem to me like they might feel like forever because you start to feel miserable and are ready to meet your baby! :)

  • Wow. I'm not due until April and I was excited this week think I am almost halfway thru my pregnancy! Maybe because it is still 2008 that seems far away to people, but really it's only a few months:)

    I agree with you...the Kohl's by my house totally sucks when it comes to maternity clothes!

  • HI everyone I'm new here and I saw this topic and I knew it should be my first to comment on.

     I'm due March 6 and I CANNOT stand when people comment on how far away that is. Because IT'S not.

    The other day a lady in my favorite jewelry store asked me when I was due and I tolf her and she said "thats getting close!". It took all the strength in my body not to hug her. 

     

  • I am due March 9th, and I am torn about if it is soon, or a long time away. I am sure after the holidays it will become REALLY REALLY real and seem like we have no time to finish everything.

    After getting to this stage though, with only 15 weeks left, the last thing you want to hear is how much longer you have to wait!!

  • I know, it feels and sounds like it is forever away. But then again, June, when we found out we were pg, seems like a lifetime ago and that FLEW.

     I think March 13th will be here before we know it. What the heck, Christmas is already here and THAT seemed like forever ago I was thinking about it.

     I keep thinking it is going to sneak upon me and I am not going to be prepared.

    Personally, I think 3 months is a perfect amount of time. Hang in there!!!

    (and no, I am not one of those 'I LOVE being pregnant' women. I miss my wine, sushi and sex like you wouldn't believe).

    well, the sex is my own doing. I don't want it...

  • isnt it nice wehn people try to impart their words of wisdom???

    she obviously isnt very good at math... 

  • Oh, yeah. 3.5 months is a really long time :-)  LOL!
  • It's weird because in a way it seems like it's going to take forever then again I have so much to do.

     I had someone tell me the same thing and I wanted to hit them. Even if it was a long time, who wants to hear that?

  • Hah! You should have asked her how long she thought pregnancy lasted?

  • March (22nd for me) feels like a long time, until I realize that our house isn't finished (we're remodeling), we don't have our furniture ordered for the baby and my bff is in crazy baby shower planning mode.
  • Don't you just love people and their idiotic comments? I swear, when I was pregnant, I would have rather people just kept their mouths shut.
  • I'm due March 2, and it doesn't feel very far away at all. I feel like time is just flying by and the next 3.5 months or so will fly by too.

    It bugs me the most when ppl I know say stuff like that. I was at work the other day and I'm definately showing, but I had this girl come up to me and tell me that I havent popped yet and that even though I feel big, I was barely showing and delivery was still a long way off. I was just like w/e biotch! I'm over half way done and when some of my maternity tops are getting tight on my belly and it's 6 in bigger than before, I'm pretty sure I've "popped".

  • I'm due March 5th, and I get that reaction A LOT.  I think when people hear March they think springtime, so it seems like a long ways away to them, but to me it's getting so close.

  • For some reason with i think 3 and a half months its seems like forever but then i think 15 weeks and OMG weeks are flying by with work being so busy that I feel like i am so not ready.  Really i am not - I haven't even gotten my crib yet (2nd week of December it should be here)
