"How are you feeling"

sarawalks · March 2013

Anyone else getting annoyed with being asked this question? I def am! Especially since no one really wants us to answer truthfully...I mean if i was to say, well you know, my feet look like sausages and hurt to walk on, my back is killing me, i can't reach my toes much less see them and I feel like my body has aged 30 years - other than that feeling just dandy...

i think the person asking would be like ummmmm, ok. sorry? don't get me wrong being pregnants great but it's not always great with all the aches and pains and how uncomfortable we are in the last trimester. in the end it's worth it, but the people asking us how we feel (on a daily basis nonetheless) don't have to deal with it. they just want to hear good news.

sorry had to vent, i have been asked this question seriously at least 10 times this morning and it's drivng me up the wall. going on very little sleep here and think i am losing my patience.

I agree. I don't want to tell people how I am REALLY feeling, but when I say "oh! things are great!!" I feel like a big fat liar.

My due date was yesterday and people continue to ask me this question as well.

hrhone328 · March 2013

It is pretty funny. I've started noticing that like every person I talk to starts with "How are you feeling?" or when I walk by someone at work they usually give me that "poor you" face. Ha!

It bugs the hell out of me.

tig594 · March 2013

Ha! Yesterday my answer to that question was that I have a butt sticking out of side and a head scraping my nether regions. Seriously? How do you think I feel? Only 5 more days before my c-section!

Unless it is a Dr.,nurse, or someone I know is genuinly asking, my answer to "how are you feeling" is "with my fingers" I get the dumb founded look then they walk off. Usually they dont ask me again after that. :P

This reminds me of a gif someone posted awhile back. A pregnant woman was asked this by an older lady and she said "Oh, it's going good." but then above her head was a thought bubble that said "Aside from the constant back ache, the hemmoroids, the swelli

It definitely gets old, I think people just don't know what else to ask. I mean, its a way of showing their support & concern.

Now I just say "Ready to have this baby already!" I spare the details but it doesn't sound like I'm just having an aw

guilletskichuk · March 2013

I've been getting this question daily as well but, thankfully, it's always from different people. I've been getting a chuckle out of how many different people have been checking in on me daily now. So I haven't gotten that annoyed yet (if it were the same

Amsay84 · March 2013

I ran out of patience for this question by about 13 weeks! (and we only told people about the pregnancy at 12 weeks.) I complained to my mom and husband about it, and I think they told some people not to bother asking me, but it hasn't seemed to

nicoleh55 · March 2013

What bothers me is that if you actually answer honestly they have something to say about it.. Ex: i'm tired today
"oh better get used to that!"

No freakin kidding!! I'm with ya on this one!

KarenBoschetti · March 2013

I've actually had a really great pregnancy and sincerely feel fine 95% of the time. But I'm now four days overdue and everyone keeps saying, have that baby already! And, when are you gonna have that baby? Why haven't you had that baby ye

annagrya · March 2013

I also hate this question, it's just awkward. I wish people would just greet me with a normal greeting like, "how are you?" or "how's your day going?" I'll volunteer the information if I have any that is appropriate for public ears. I've

Mmdurg · March 2013

I agree! Or the other question is are you ok?! I'm pregnant not broken sheesh!!

What do you/gave you asked pregnant fr

Trish&Pete07 · March 2013

I always answer that one with "Pregnant" If they want me to clarify, I go into the nitty gritty details. Most people just smile and move on. Um how do you think I'm feeling, do you really want me to go into it?? I'm pregnant.

AZMagnini14 · March 2013

Haha I agree with this! I'm already sick of hearing it and I'm not quite in the home stretch yet! It will only get worse I'm sure.

doremi29 · March 2013

I'm still working at just shy of 39 weeks so I get the question a lot. I always just give them an exhausted smile and say "Hangin in there!"

sarawalks · March 2013

I think it's great that I am not the only one annoyed with this question. And yes, it's the same people that ask me every. single. day.

My SO and close friends know i am annoyed with this and it's like they just dare people to ask me in front

pinottoparenthood · March 2013

Yeah, kind of annoying... especially since I'm not the type to complain to coworkers, and the same people ask me EVERY DAY. You just saw me yesterday, there really haven't been any drastic changes.

Having said that, I know they mean well an

heather4hawks · March 2013

I do get annoyed at this too. It is not as annoying though as the coworker who asks me everyday "How's baby today?" How do you answer that one?

Dragonfly1226 · March 2013

I agree 100%! I hate it!

BigPoppa22 · March 2013

Coworker friends ask me how DW is feeling every day, and every day I give a little smile and say "Still miserable!" and they give a disappointed "Oh..." They need to understand that the last 5-6 weeks has not been fun at all.

Snapdragon750 · March 2013

I think it's nice! I just tell 'em the truth and usually we have a nice conversation out of it. I think people genuinely want to know or they wouldn't ask.

It's way better than, "WOW you haven't had that

HelgaFunk · March 2013

Oh the humanity. How dare people be concerned about you and want to know how you're doing during your pregnancy. Are you all flipping kidding me? Not that I love trying to gloss over all the crazy things that are happening to my body but sheesh, at le
