pregnant coworker: how much weight have you gained so far?

me: um... 11 lbs....

pregnant coworker: omg! You are only supposed to gain 2-5 lbs in the first trimester! You have already gained 11 lbs.

#1 never ask a woman, pregnant or not, how much weight she has gained

#2 do not proceed to lecture a woman on the amount she had gained

#3 you have a vagina and are a STM too! I should not have to explain to you rules #1 & #2

It took every ounce of self control I had not to respond rudely and not to cry

Rrrrrachel · October 2013

Yeah that's not cool!

ksulli · October 2013

Not acceptable. She needs to go away.

bootsiebabe · October 2013

I would have never told the amount of weight and instead said "that's between me and my doctor. For now I will be enjoying this delicious king sized Snickers while I imagine you being hit by a bus, Mean Girls style."

amhah09 · October 2013

I don't think I would have restrained myself on that one.

Serenla · October 2013

Yeah my response would have been like...

HAHAHAHAHAHA, i second this one.

joyfullyfound · October 2013

Ewww, that's not ok. Crappy. You missed a rule, though - never tell anyone how much you've gained! Haha

monkeybutt61612 · October 2013

Next time don't tell people how much you've gained if you don't want to hear their comments

nikki912 · October 2013

People are so stupid- I have a feeling cunt punts will be common this pregnancy.

LOL, this is my favorite ever, hahahahahaha!

LittleLady77 · October 2013

Wow @-)

DemoDoll · October 2013

I would have said "none of your business" or "why do you need to know?"

hordol · October 2013

Wow, so rude of her! You really wouldn't think a woman, especially one that has been pregnant, would think it proper to ask those things.

If anyone asked me about my weight gain, I'd probably say, "uhh, I'm not sure!" and hope they got the hint, heh.

KendraL86 · October 2013

That is incredible rude of her. You never ask anyone about their weight gain. Ever!! It's just a rule of civilized society.

babym6705 · October 2013

I definitely learned my lesson not to answer that question. I was just so stunned she even asked it.

katiemay405 · October 2013

Is anyone else getting the belly glance from co-workers before they look you in they eye at the beginning of a conversation? I know it's there, you know it's there. What's the point of looking at it? I'm not huge yet at all!

MrsH2you · October 2013

Wow. She'll get some inappropriate question asked of her soon. It happens to everyone. BTW I am around 11 pounds too.

Linnea503 · October 2013

Wow, what a bitch! I think I've already gained almost 15lbs, if that makes you feel better

Caseyjean13 · October 2013

I gained like half my pregnancy weight in my first trimester last time and looked 5 months pregnant at 2 months along. And then I barely gained any in the last trimester. Everyone is different

Katiecave · October 2013

Some people just don't think before they open their big mouths

sorry you had to deal with that. Why do people think that's any of their business???

samjen2010 · October 2013

She deserves a throat punch.

korycir · October 2013

Haha. Yeah I'm in the same boat as you. I've put on something like 11 lbs. I think it has started to slow down but oh man am I in the "feeling fat" stage! No real bump yet, but I feel it rising up (half way-ish to my belly button) and soon it will be popping out...

MolMik · October 2013

I gained 11 lbs, too! I hope your coworker gets hemoroids!

abbeylanecb · October 2013

Bitch.

*sparky* · October 2013

Serenia's response wins as most appropriate in this case. That girl sounds like a real wench, or she is completely clueless.

EnFuego12 · October 2013

My coworker and I are both expecting. We have an ongoing list of things that are inappropriate and should not be said to a pregnant lady. We have had some doozies! One person said "Whoa, you're getting fat!!" My coworker doesn't even look pregnant! It's all in her belly. I can't even imagine what they'll be saying about me! This is #3 and things aren't as toned as they were with my first. People are so clueless sometimes. It's seems like it's always open season for rude/thoughtless comments toward expectant mothers.

MrsG325 · October 2013

That's terrible. Don't worry about it I have also gaine 11 pounds already- wait maybe 12. People are dumb

newter135 · October 2013

Screw her! I'm 15 weeks and have gained 18 pounds and love every last one of them!!

anease · October 2013

I feel your pain OP. When I was working and pg with my DS, a MALE co-worker asked how far along I was and I told him. His response was "Oh wow, when my wife was that far along, she was half your size!!" (Meaning smaller). Uh thanks jackass.

Laroo0220 · October 2013

People suck! What a bitch! I got this one today from a coworker "you don't even look pregnant, you just look like you ate a lot" wow thanks! That's totally what I was hoping for, shut the hell up.

Rogue237 · October 2013

joules40 · October 2013

Ooh these replies are just what I needed! I gained 12 already and feel bad. Reading that all of you have gained more then what is "normal " helps

Laughing so hard....

JessSSutton · October 2013

Gahhh people suck! I take the control away from the people I work with but we are basically family! I just keep saying "I plan to get huge!" As I take like the fourth mini twix bars from our Halloween bowl (that's actually for clients!) they have all been super great luckily and considering there are three of us pregnant and 2 people have daughters who are pregnant everyone must have gotten the rules already! I won't hesitate to TP someone who pisses me off and blame it on the hormones!

railroadRN · October 2013

Yesterday I was told, "At this rate, you're going to be as big as a house!"

Today I was told by a dietary employee that I was going to be cut off from eating lunch there. Her idea of a joke, I assume.

I have gained 18 pounds, but I was also underweight and not eating more than 500 calories a day before I got pregnant. I just don't have the patience to justify my weight gain to people with no manners.
