in 3rd Trimester
Is it me or do people seem to say what they want to pregnant ladies! I mean we all know pregnant people can be emotional.... And then at times moody (which is me in the 3rd tri). I thought just pregnant ladies say what comes to mind and non preg people should filter! Ugh! I run a retail store and try my hardest to be nice and sweet, & I think I do a good Job! I just had a lady tell me that I looked like I was going to blow up! Ugh the nerve! Ladies we all know we have "good" pregnant days and "bad" pregnant days.... Why is it on a good day; ( ya know your feeling good not feeling that big, feeling like okay this is normal at 32 weeks) that people say the rudest things! And further more did I give you a damn pass to tell me what the hell you think? Then she is leaving and says to me.... " don't forget to watch your diet" At this point she is lucky she was put the door because words came out of my mouth! I was average size 6/8 going into pregnancy. Dr says I am fine with the 30 pounds I gained so I am not sure why I am letting this get to me but some people really need to filter! Sorry and thanks for letting me vent, I feel better!

    Because people suck and lose their filters and minds when they see pregnant people. All I can say is for some reason people feel the need to always comment on size and weight when we all know everyone carries differently etc. I look like I could deliver any day now but nope still have a while to go. If one more person comments on how big I am I am going to ask them what their excuse is

    Don't worry about it. Some people just have no filters.  I've had a bunch of people tell me "oh you're finally starting to look pregnant" when I was 32 weeks... so it's like, what did I look like before, just a fat slob?

    I think it's just that people want to say something just to say something. They don't necessarily think about how it's going to come across.

    You'll be back to that sexy skinny bitch body in no time!! :D

    People have no common sense some times... A good friend of mine at church is 4 days behind me in her pregnancy.  This is her 8th child, so obviously she is going to get bigger much faster than a normal pregnancy.  When she was 13 weeks preggo, she looked almost 5 or 6 months along because of this.  Everyone keeps asking her if she is sure she is going to make it to her due date because she looks like she's going to pop (I just entered week 34 so she is 33 1/2 weeks).  The comments don't bother her, but they do me because it's ridiculous what people say just because there is a baby in her belly. One lady came up to us and was saying the same thing to her and then turned to me and said, "You don't have a big belly yet... you're gaining all of your weight around." (Mind you I have only gained 8 pounds... with my twins, I only gained 19 pounds).
    I like the comment on one of the previous posts "What's your excuse?!"  HAHA!

    I really don't understand why people think this kind of thing is ok... It seems that seeing pregnant women gives people the right to say and do anything they please. Random people feel the need to ask me very personal questions! And the other day I was at the grocery store and the lady bagging the groceries came up to me and just started rubbing my belly and starts asking questions. Hello people... You can't just wander around rubbing people.
