I had a lady in the check out line of Joanns look at me and say "Wow! You look like you got about five of em in there!" ...

Thanks for calling me huge random lady! Everyone else has been really nice comparatively and just told me that girls are more stubborn than boys, but you - Whew! - You tell me Im the size of someone carrying 5 babies at once. Awesome.

What the actual fuck? How could anyone with two brain cells to rub together ever think that was an appropriate thing to say to someone?

I'm sorry you had to deal with her!

Fuckin people.

The other day, I was walking in to the grocery store. A lady who worked there was coming out of the store with a load of carts. She was gesturing and yelling at this car that had stopped at the crosswalk, saying, "Come on! Go on!," like trying to get him to get out of her way, when he was actually stopped to let MY giant ass walk across.

She finally notices that I'm crossing, and looks me up and down. Then she says, "Oh, we just about to have two twin girls here?"

I'm like, "Uh no, just one boy. There better NOT be two in there!" She cackled madly and walked off.

A girl I used to work with invited me to lunch yesterday. I go, she takes one look at me and says " you look terrible, and your huge!" I said "well thank you" , then she said "and I see you needed to get maternity scrubs..... I never had to do that" .... I just smiled and said "yes I am wearing maternity scrubs because I am so huge!" That is the last time I am going to lunch with her ass.

Ooooh, I would have 'accidentally' spilled something all over her.

On Sunday night we walked past a restaurant where some guys were drinking. One of them goes "she's about 11 months pregnant"

WTF???

chelseyestelle · October 2013

A stranger came up to me at the grocery store and told me that I was such a cute pregnant girl. I smiled and thanked her but then she asked me if I was going to breast feed. I told her I was gonna give it a shot. (Honestly, this question doesn't bother me) BUT then she said I should go home and get in the shower and rub my nipples with Brillo pads until I scream...

Um.

Now it's awkward.

Thank you, ma'am.

I had to explain to my friend that pregnancy is 9 months long. She is currently 18 weeks pregnant.......

klewis888 · October 2013

I've had several people ask if I'm having twins... Really? Thanks for making this 9 month preggo lady feel good! Funny thing is... Mostly from guys... No filter!

A lady that works the front desk at the OB clinic I go to always asks how far along I am (we make casual conversation because she knows DH) and then asks 'so how long is pregnancy again?'....she works in an OB clinic AND has 2 or 3 kids....fucking people I tell ya!

MySunshine213 · October 2013

Some guy walked up to me in the grocery store and said "Are you nervous?" I was like umm.. A little I guess? He went on to say his daughter was so nervous when she was PG with her first.. I guess he just assumed it was my first bc I didn't have her with me. I just thought what an odd opening statement!

sfshorter · October 2013

A guy in Waffle House asked me if I was about to have my baby now and then told me I better keep my legs together until he gets done eating. This was right in front of Dh who the man had already commented to and after Dh said he recommends not saying anything. Ugh, dumb fucking people.

BlessUrHeart29 · October 2013

Today a lady that I have met once before asked me if I was dilated. Actually this is how the conversation went...

Lady: have you done anything yet?
Me: have I done anything?
Lady: yeah, have you dilated and all that?
Me: um... Not a whole lot. The baby seems pretty comfortable...

I can handle questions about my due date and if I'm going to be induced, but this was just weird to me!

Brookephi · October 2013

I JUST had an old man probably in his 70's corner me in Target, tell me his life story..."retired LAPD, cat just died, all alone.... Blah blah blah". At first I thought he was just a nice lonely old man so I entertained the convo for a bit. THEN tells me he's looking for a younger woman and he "just loves pregnant women!" He says " I wish I could just rub your belly all over!" I'm sure my face was priceless as I quickly ended that conversation! Creepy!!!! Wow!

waddle, waddle away as fast as you can...

bionicb · October 2013

People are fucking nuts. What about pregnancy brings the super crazy out in people?!

cassey910 · October 2013

When I was about 18 weeks pregnant someone told me that I have to be having triplets. Now I just get twins or I look like I'm going to pop. I have decided people do not know how to talk to pregnant women.

What. the. fuck.

hartsl01 · October 2013

For some reason I don't get as mad when a guy says something as I do when a woman makes a comment about me being huge or looking tired. I did have a lady at target mention how big I was, I smiled and said, 'wow, thanks for that extremely rude comment, you're huge too'. I turned around and continued my shopping with a smile.

You lose your filter and I lose mine!

nuggetsmama · October 2013

i got on the bus the other day and the bus driver goes - damn girl you are huge... how many babies you got in there - and my crazy hormonal self busts into tears and gets off the bus! now that is not a normal reaction on my part - i dont know where that came from, i am not a crier or a very emotional person...

But the look on his face was priceless! he will never talk to a pregnant woman again!

jessielme · October 2013

@blondolphin - I'm curious how long she thought it was. A year?

blondolphn · October 2013

10 months. I had to explain to her that there are 4.5 weeks per month. She knew pregnancy was 40 weeks, but was dividing it by 4 weeks=10 months. This is why I never say how far I am in months, I get to confused. I would always piss people off and give them weeks. Whatevs...

elllaf · October 2013

A girl (and someone who is becoming a good friend) I work with is due 10 weeks after me.
Anyway EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. When we happen to be near each other a customer makes a comment "I better not drink the water around this place!" Or something to the drinking water effect.
Har har har. Original and hilarious.
We have yet to come up with the perfect comeback besides me saying "she came here that way haha"

suggestions welcome

emmylou78 · October 2013

Some guy at work told me I was looking "le grande." I told him to "le fuck off."

wildbutterfli2001 · October 2013

When I first told my pushy overbearing sister (who is 10 years older than I am and has 2 children) that I was pregnant she asked when I was due I told her October 16, she replied by "no you aren't you are due in November, don't you know that women are pregnant for 10 months not 9" So I proceed to tell her that I know when I conceived and I've done the math but she proceeded to argue with me about how I was wrong and I was due at the end of November. I just had to get off the phone

And here I thought the guy who was obviously checking me out (but didn't say anything) at the grocery store was creepy. Nope. You win.

I had a kid come up to me on campus (I work at a university) and say "Whatchu having?" I just stared at him at first because I honestly thought he was asking like "what are you having for dinner? What are you going to order?" Because pretty much all I think about is food. Except we weren't in an eatery. I was very confused. So he asked again, my brain clicked on, I said "Oh it's a boy" he says "that is one BIG boy" and walks away. Uh. Ok....

So if she already decided she knew when you were due, why did she even ask??

Sorry, I just started another thread like this. I would have added the stupid comments here.

I can add this lovely story: I was out at an event and there were 5 women sitting behind me who I don't know at all. One of them asked if this is my first kid. I said no and she said, "Stop at 2. Children suck the life out of you. They ruin your body, they ruin everything. Don't have any more."

Having no idea how to respond I just sort of stared and another woman in the row said, "No - children are wonderful! Have a lot of children. I have 3 and it's not enough!"

Thank you total strangers for your input on my uterus and life choices. It was one of the most awkward conversations ever.

Alexandrap · October 2013

When DS was born 3 yrs ago I was told I need to have TONS of kids because my baby was beautiful and he could "refine" our race.

The chef at work has asked me everyday for the past month and half how the twins are. He knows it's only one boy and thinks its hilarious. It was funny at first now it's annoying.

Now I only get asked about LO's possible skin color. I could go on for days....

nothinbutgrace11 · October 2013

Recently my friends idiot husband asked how my cervix was... This is not the first time he's asked this, the first time was the first day my husband preached at our church. I had just met him and he was peppering me with questions about my first pregnancy. He's a real tool...

You should always reply to this question from strange men by asking about theirs...

While I was pregnant my BF's uncle said 'wow your boobs have gotten huge'. Then he looked at my BF and said 'I bet you're loving that'. Ummm awkward!
