What's the weirdest comment you've heard thus far?

AnonymousMotherOfOne · November 2013

Mine was upon seeing one of my (now-retired) grandmother's former co-workers in a different store with my mother and sister in tow. Upon finding out about LO, she proceeds to squall and grin like everyone else thus far, some of it rather unintelligible because of her accent, but says to me "You want pretty baby? Yes? Yes! Look at pretty people, and your baby will be pretty!"

What's the weirdest thing you've had someone say to you so far?

What did you even say to that?

I have nothing comparable to that

AnonymousMotherOfOne · November 2013

I just laughed and looked uncomfortable. There's nothing you can say to something so ridiculous and outdated. I did look at my mom like "We need to leave, because she's freaking me the heck out" though!

Wow.

I just got approached by a random teenager in the lobby of my building who said she was pregnant and wanted to know what I did to get rid of morning sickness. That's the weirdest thing that has happened to me so far, but it's not really a comment.

Nothing too strange. People just keep commenting on how small my bump is. I was at a training yesterday and some ladies overheard I was pregnant and came up to me afterwards. They said "we heard you are pregnant but we looked over and thought 'she isn't big enough to be pregnant'". Thanks I guess....it's pretty obvious I'm stashing a melon under my shirt.

One of my employees said to me "you know, every time I see you, you look more and more pregnant"

Genius.

Many of my East African patients tell me not to drink too much water because it will make the baby fat. Whaaaa?

I was asking my male OBGYN all of these questions about deli meats and exercise and he said "stupid people have babies everyday" ......um not sure what that meant. Weird

I just bought some low rise side panel jeans at motherhood maternity (omg I like this so much better than the low panel or high panel!!!). The lady asked if I was pregnant and I said yes 25 weeks and she said, oh well you're a first time mom, you won't show until you are at least 5 or 6 months. Okay I know we have had the weeks vs months debate but in my calculations, 25 weeks is definitely 5 or 6 months. I just said "oh my mom was really small with me so it must be genetic". And still bought two pairs of jeans because I LOVE SIDE PANELS.

My grandmother commented on how my boobs are growing the exact way my mothers did (left one not at all and right one a full cup size) when she was pregnany with my oldest sibling. . .

When I announced my pregnancy to my sixth graders one of them said "I thought you were growing!"

kjswan3 · November 2013

A lady the other day at work looked at me and asked how far along I was. "25 weeks today actually". The lady replied "geez you are really big, I thought you were at least 8 months". Ummm thanks rude ass lady:/.

My girlfriend has a 2 yr old and a 7 month old. I am now 22 weeks pregnant. We went to this healthier option restaurant in Los Angeles and a friend of her mothers walked by. Well her 2 yr old was playing with a toy that was a mirror and some other things and she exclaimed that she should put that away bc the baby seeing her reflection would make her not smart and not grow teeth. She also said that my friend needed a blanket so no one could see her breast feeding... Mind you she was using a smaller cover. That breast feeding where people can see will cause her milk to dry up. And the last golden token of that day was when she told me not to let the children touch my stomach or my baby won't be smart. Lol

Oh, with my son when I was ku a employee said to me "I totally can't wait until after you have your baby and you can't sneeze with out peeing"

-_-

No way! I would have died laughing. It took all of me just to smile at the woman saying the above things to my friend and me!

One of my former students (now a second grader) looked at me one morning at school and said, "Mrs Vasquez, you need to do some squats." Awkward, so I told her I was pregnant and explained that my stomach is growing because the baby is growing not because I ate too much!
At least our school's emphasis on healthy eating and exercise has sunk in

A girl I volunteer with, who is also pregnant, ran up to me and asked "Hey! Do you get, like, pregnancy deja vu?" To which I responded, "Um... what do you mean?" She said "I just have this feeling, like, all day that this has all happened before. I mean, I got up, I puked, I got dressed and got my dogs and left the house and came here and I just feel like it's deja vu! Does that happen to you?"

Me: "Umm... no. I just get kinda tired sometimes."

-One of my patients said, "looks like someone swallowed a watermelon seed!" when I walked into the room. I maintained my professional demeanor, but inside I was saying, "ARE YOU IN SECOND GRADE?"

-A drug rep practically nailed me to the wall and insisted --- INSISTED! --- that I listen to his wife's birth story.

-Another patient mentioned my pregnancy. I smiled and made some joke about how everyone was giving advice and sharing gory stories. NOT in an invitational way --- CLEARLY (I thought) in an "I'm tired of talking about this" way.

She then IMMEDIATELY launched into a spiel about a) her birth stories, and b) how I should do squats to prevent incontinence. Okay..... a) Didn't I just say I didn't want to hear this? and b) I work in UROLOGY. I give advice on incontinence FOR A LIVING. Do you think this is NEW INFORMATION TO ME?

Whhhhhyyyyyyyy?????

SassyFlats · November 2013

@pepperedmoth your patient giving you advice in your own area of expertise is pretty dang hilarious.

I don't remember how I got out of the room.......

Odd odd thing to notice/remember

When we found out we are having a girl, I got this as a response "well, that's ok. It really doesn't matter what the gender is, you'll love it anyway"

NoelleZako · November 2013

Mine is actually a comment of my own. I am really tired of being asked what I'm craving because A I'm not really craving anything and B if I was are you going to bring it to me. Anyway earlier this week some asked and I responded calmly with blood, baby Vladmire here wants blood. I kept my face straight until I got their reaction lol. Totally priceless and worth it.

benevolentforce · November 2013

It's summer here and some days are really hot. There's this old lady in the neighborhood I see sometimes, and she told me my baby was going to be hot-tempered unless I stay cool, and also advised I take cool baths/showers. I just smiled and nodded. I don't think she approved of me being out walking around in the heat.

SassyFlats · November 2013

Not exactly what the thread is asking about... but still, I need to get this off my chest. All day at work, people ask me "How are you feeling?" All the damn time. I can't go pee without running into someone who asks me that.

I respond, "I'm great, how are you?"

Everyone pauses... like... why would I ask how THEY are? One person actually said "Well, I'm good but I'm not the one carrying around a little bambino!"

I just..... I get they're being friendly but after the 10th time in one day I just want to scream STOP TALKING TO ME AND LET ME GO PEE AND REFILL MY WATER!
