List of annoying pregnancy comments said to me today

JillBean78 · November 2008

1 - Every single person asked me if I was feeling OK - honestly I'm so sick of that question, I'm not sick people, I'm pregnang

2 - "Wow, you don't look like you have gained much weight!"

lhull · November 2008

Thats not that bad. I just got "you are eating for two. Have more"

I am thankful no one wanted to tough my belly (considering whatever is there is not baby, just fat) yet

JillBean78 · November 2008

I wasn't done!! Dumb nest/bump

2 - "You haven't gained much weight" My response was, well I haven't, so the commenters response back was "Well you need to gain more" Sheesh lady what am I supposed to do look like you and have two pigs fighting in my stretch pants

3 - Are you craving anything?? My response was no, I'm not. I get a confused look back from the person with her long list of foods she craved as if I should be craving something

4 - "What are you having?" My response, a baby. Commenter, oh, no I meant boy or girl so DH said we are surprising everyone at the shower, so the commenter says back well if you don't tell me and you have a boy I'm buyng him girl clothes and if you have a girl I'm buying her boy clothes....ummmm, thanks beotch

I also got the "how are you feeling" all day long...and they are shocked when I say "i'm fine!" hello people i'm not dieing i'm pregnant!!

i feel your pain.....

I hate the "How are you feeling?" question. I know people are just being nice, but with DC#1, I got it every day. Now I get "How's the baby?" I have no idea which one they're referring to anymore.

lhull · November 2008

Ugh, I hate the "How are you feeling?" I say: "fine" they say "really??? no throwing up or anything????"

grrr

I just feel like everyone thinks I should have gained like 30 lbs by now, that I should crave pickles blended with ice cream and have constant morning sickness. I get like a weird look when I say No to the craving thing and No to the morning sickness thing. And the how are you feeling question puts me over the edge, My boss asks me that question every single day since I told them I was pregnant at 12 weeks and when I hear it I just want to cringe.

I should also add that I've been asked about 100 times if I plan to breastfeed.

I've gotten all the same questions and remarks today. I'm not even to the 20 week mark - how the heck would I know if we're having a boy or a girl?! I'm so tired of people telling me that I don't even look pregnant!!

JillBean78 - totally not related....but I love your fireplace! DH and I have both said we will have one in our next house; I can't wait.

JillBean78 · November 2008

Thanks!! I love the fireplace, we have cathedral ceilings and it goes all the way up to the ceiling. But we never use it, I just like the way it looks. We even have a fancy enclosure in there with a great blower, when we do use it we just shut the doors, turn the blower on and the heat comes out the vents. We really should use it more than we do, I think we are just lazy. LOL

momquixote · November 2008

I kept getting asked about baby movement (which I'm tired of explaining: anterior placenta = I barely feel anything and getting odd looks like I'm making the whole thing up) and the baby's name, was it definite, etc. I finally lost it, lol, and said (as nicely as I could) that I reserved the right to wait until my son came out of my loins to take a good look at him and make up my gd mind about what I would name him.

I also think it's weird when people ask if I'm "excited" -- what could possibly be the answer to that?

cprn · November 2008

We actually just told our families yesterday. The worst question I got was:

Well, what were you doing when you got pregnant?

ARE YOU KIDDING ME? What kind of details are they looking for?

smalpotato · November 2008

I keep getting questions about names. We're not sharing that until the baby is born and everyone knows it. Do they think I'm gonna slip and tell them? We honestly don't have a name picked out yet so they're not getting any info from me. Maybe I should make up something really horrible to tell people.
