34w2d and I made it without any rude comments until just now...
I was in the kitchen at work refilling my water cup, when someone here at work said "how many more weeks?"
I said "5 or 6 to go"
She says "wow... He is going to be a big baby!"
I said "no, he's measuring just fine." I turned and walked out.
Really... I think you just called me huge, Lady!

Consider yourself lucky then.
I think after this much time we have all decided... people are jerks, and just ignore it.
I had a cashier tell me on Friday I didn't need the latte because I was pregnant and can she get me a decaf.
*smacks head*
Yep, I get this every.single.day. Often, from people I see every.single.day.
People are stupid, and even though they don't mean to be, they are also rude.

Agreed! If they're not saying mean things they're looking mean.

If you made it this long you are incredible lucky!!!
example of some comments i have gotten:
1. are you sure you aren't having twins?
2. aren't you due in like 2 or 3 weeks (i was around 27 weeks at that point)
3. Holy cow your stomach is huge!
4. You look like you're going to pop!
ugh! DH's Nana said that too me before my belly was actually there. It was during that "not exactly looking pregnant but looks like you went on a fat binge" phase.
Nana also asked loudly at my baby shower. How much weight have you gained exactly?
Oh Nana....the comic relief.
We are having a surprise and Nana likes to tell me she really hopes I have a girl...because she's just sick of all the men in her family... so can I do that for her...no really...she wants a girl....no boys
But god love her.
BWAHAHA
I think I honestly would have went ape-shi* on the girl if she told me I couldn't have a latte. "I would have told her, I'm sorry, where did you get your PhD from? I don't recognize Ignorant University as an accredited school"
My favorite comment thus far is - "HOLY COW! Do you have a basketball in there? My niece is only a week ahead of you and you're WAY bigger than she is!"
Right there with you. My MIL just called me huge again tonight. And then told me that because I'm so huge she thinks I'll be going early, so if I go into labor this week to call them (since DH is out of town this week). NO SH!T? You want me to call my geographically-closest family members if I go into labor while my husband is out of town? And have you never seen someone 36 weeks pregnant?
Someone said this to me at work last week. I was baffled but I've also realized that people say a lot of dumb things in general but especially to pregnant people. I am just hoping my customers can try and be nice these last few weeks because holding my tongue is getting harder and harder to control.
I feel like people just think I'm fat, not pregnant... Every time DH and I go out to dinner or something, if he gets an alcoholic drink or has a sip of wine they ask for my ID, too, and when I say "I'm not drinking" they all look at me quizzically like they don't believe me.
I literally just blurted out when we were at dinner for my birthday, "I can't drink. I'm really, very pregnant right now." The waiter just stared at me.
I was actually relieved when my neighbor saw me for the first time in months and went, "Oh wow. So, you're having another baby, aren't you?" I was just glad someone finally acknowledged I'm pregnant, not fat.
