Unwelcome advice...

in October 2013 Moms
I've been getting lots of advice from coworkers since announcing my pregnancy. I just couldn't keep it a secret, lol. The worst was today when I came in with a McDonald's bag. I was sitting in the breakroom munching on fries when one coworker comes in and exclaims "oh no! You'll make your baby fat!"
I've been doing well so far. I'm a junk food addict, and I've given up caffeine and artificial sweeteners and I have a love affair with Diet Coke, I've been eating lots of fruits and veggies, and avoiding fatty foods. I just really wanted a shamrock shake and a mushroom and Swiss angus burger today, and figured I deserved a treat.
So I'm sure some of you who have gone public have already started getting weird advice and comments. What's the weirdest/most annoying so far?

    Ugh. My hubby got on my case for wanting McDonalds today. This pregnancy is weird. I crave meat which makes me want burgers and fried chicken and korean BBQ. LoL. With DD all I could handle was munching on raw veggies and fruits. I never really get any ad

    Lately meat has been mostly not okay, so I figured if I was craving a burger, I should go for it because tomorrow, I might not be able to handle it.

    If I trying to be polite I would say thanks for the tip but a treat once a week has never hurt anyone.

    If I didn't care about being nice I would probably tell her something snarky about how the baby made me do it and she was upsetting the bab

    I just love how some people try to tell you how to run your pregnancy...

    I'm sure the bulk of them mean well, but some advice just comes out wrong.

    Would not worry prob just jelious because you don't have to feel guilty for eating maccas and have to go burn it off for two hours in the gym being pregnent is the only time where your not on a diet enjoy yourself once in a while as long as you eating hea

    People have no filter when it comes to talking to pregnant women. Growing thick skin is a good idea.

    I ate a mcchicken and fries with a large sweet tea everyday for lunch. Seriously everyday. I could not get enough. And my little boy was 7 lbs 5 oz and not fat.

    People are already telling me to not pick up DS. Please.
