The things people say

Houseplant · April 2013

What are you tired of hearing people say to you?

I'll start. I've started telling more people the good news over the past few days. If one more person tells me "Wow, you don't look that far along!" or "I can't even tell you're pregnant!", I may lose my cool. A.) Everyone's body reacts differently to pregnancy. B.) Is it common knowledge that I am supposed to look 5.5 months pregnant already even though this is my first child? C.) I got sick a lot during 1st tri and I had an ultrasound last week where the baby was measuring a couple days ahead. Still, it makes me question whether everything is ok every time I hear that.

"Oh man, you're going to be so big when its so hot! That'll be uncomfortable!" Really? Like I haven't thought of that? Thanks for all the positivity, though!

If you were 30 weeks PG I would totally get you saying this

Right now, like you said your a 1st time mom who is barely 14 weeks who has probibly not gained much weight if any like the rest of us

FIL always asks "how are you feeling today?" I don't know why is bothers me so much but it does last time I responded with "good, I'm always good. Was I sick or something?!?"

3. Wow you are going to busy!

2. Did you plan it?

This #1 thing: any variation of "trying for that boy?!" "do you want a boy this time?" "will you have 4 if this is another girl?" UGH! We want a CHILD, hopefully healthy and anot

My grandma put her hand on my belly this weekend and said "are you sure you're not having twins? you sure are big for being due in October". Really?! You ask me that question after I stuffed my face at FIL's 2 hours before and then just

pandaglitter · April 2013

"How are you guys feeling?" Because it makes me feel like I don't matter as much. I'm being sensitive, but I wish it was more "how are you?" Making me feel like a person and not just a baby cooking machine. It's weird, but rubs me the wrong way. I'm still

"You are going to get so big!". . .really? Well, you are getting so annoying.

"Do you know what you are having?". . . yeah, I am having an outer body experience because I clearly want to look in that dumb brain of yours

"What do you want. .

At least 10 times I've been asked, "was this planned or an accident". I just thinks its such an invasive and rude question. When people ask that I hear, "so were you banging for pleasure or to have kid?" My boss even asked me this!

las7838 · April 2013

I am sick of morning sickness suggestions almost all of which make me want to puke more. And I understand why being asked how you are doing gets old because I get tired of saying yep still feel like crap. Puking multiple times a day thanks for asking :

Ugh.

"Can I have your baby when it's born?" Uh no. You miserable human. Stop being such a freak and maybe someone will want to have a baby with you.

And my FIL

kimbo1216 · April 2013

I think you're over reacting a bit. I would take that as a compliment. It means you don't look like you've gained any weight. Now if people guessed you were months further than you were, you can be offended.

The thing is people have differen

I've had 2 guys customers ask me "why in the hell would you bring a baby into this Fed up world?!" One guy I knew because he is a regular and a smarty pants anyway, but it still hurt my feelings and then there was this random guy today who overheard me ta

I don't really get upset about it, but the number 1 people say to me is that my second child is going to be a nightmare.

My first child STTN the day we brought him home and has slept 12 hrs every night since. People thought he had to go to

calibr8te · April 2013

'Wow your bump is so big already!' and I definitely got the ' are you sure there isn't a twin hiding in there?"

I keep hearing ' childbirth is no time to be a hero' when I talk of going natural, followed with side eyes.

We haven't started telling people yet although a couple have guessed and are respectfully keeping it quiet until DH and I are ready. But they still have some annoying questions. #1 "Was it an accident?" #2 "What gender is it?" #3 " Its sa

germanpickle · April 2013

I tired of people implying that when we have two children I won't work anymore.

A. I work because I enjoy working.

B. Because I enjoy and have always enjoying the rush of building a career, I have a pretty good position in a major company

andthatmakes4 · April 2013

Oh my gosh! I'm not out yet to anyone and I had totally forgotten about all of these questions. I might not come out until a baby comes out or at least until I have to. My most hated questions are "how have you been feeling?" And "are you excited?" I get

KyBee123 · April 2013

We started telling people once we cleared first trimester and when some people asked how far along I was they'd say "oh, so it's still SUPER early!" How is 14 weeks super early??

Also I had horrible, crippling M/S for five weeks and if one mo

MatildaMarple · April 2013

The number one question I've heard is: "is it a boy or a girl?" I just tell them er don't know yet. I've had one or two comments about how miserable I'll be in August and September in Texas but I'm so happy to be pregnant, I'd be pregnant on the equato
