So tired of the comments

shaunamw · April 2014

If one more person tells me I'm not making it to my due date I'm going to scream.
"Oh you've dropped"
"Oh you're timer has gone off" etc

Look people I would like her to stay put for awhile longer so hush up!

I had the opposite yesterday. I have six weeks until my estimated due date... One of our movers commented, "you know, you can't even tell you're pregnant." Really?

awc1986 · April 2014

Oh I have the regular "you look ready to pop" and "you mustn't have long". I guess it's par for the course when you're pretty much 9mos pregnant.

momo214 · April 2014

I was getting a pedi and one of the ladies kept telling me OMG you're HUGE you're going to pop soon and the lady next to her kept telling me I look tiny and barely pregnant and fabulous. So wtf is it? Am I a whale or a tiny cute pregnant lady? Lets say one got a better tip.

I get the same comments I have 6 weeks left. I would like him to come a little earlier but not yet !!

SMM1986 · April 2014

I have 3.5 weeks left and every time I call my mom, it's "is the baby coming?!"
I went to the post office yesterday and the guy was like, "You look...well." Like he was flat out lying. And I can't even be mad cause I look like shit.

ns1 · April 2014

I get comments on both ends (it looks like he'll come anytime now and you have such a tiny bump). And at this point I'm so aggravated with everything for no good reason that I get really twitchy at even the possibility that someone might be looking at my bump let alone have the nerve to comment on it. I feel like I've just become a spectacle. I just need to hide in the house for the next several weeks!

33 weeks I got, "Are you due momentarily?" Answered 7 weeks to go. "Well...good luck with that..." Wtf?!

DBonfante · April 2014

I get both sides... You look like you're going to have a big baby and you've got a while to go. It's annoying especially when you are uncomfortable. I am 33 weeks and I wish people would keep their comments to themselves.

I went to a concert on Tuesday and we had middle of the row seats (ucky) and he lady at the end when we got to our seats asked me if she was going to have to deliver my baby that night. I was like I'm not due until the end of May if he comes tonight, were all in for a world of hurt.

I get all of them.. "You'll never make it to your due date. Are you SURE you're pregnant? Where is the baby at in there?" But the one that irritated me the most said by my very own best friend— "they're definitely going to put you on bed rest!" Why did she make that comment you ask? Because I complained that my back hurt. She's a nurse, so there was nooo arguing with her. I never really respond much to any of these aside from, "well, my last baby came on his due date, yep I'm pregnant, baby's in there, trust me, etc"...

I asked my DR last week about what to do about back pain, she told me to suffer----would have loved her to say well maybe taking it more easy....nah she said basically to suck it up because I'm pregnant-----no mention of bedrest.

This.... I'm tired of the comments as well non of them are rude really but I am just over dealing with all the same questions everyday with every customer I help. Part of the reason why I have moved my loa date up way sooner than I was planning!

whitneymarie003 · April 2014

I'm right there with you. A man from Church asked when I was due and when I said "May 20th" he said "WOW." and just looked at my belly with eyes wide open. He thought I was due any day.

mkhilyuk · April 2014

I'm in law school and I if one more professor comes up to me and says "looks like you won't be making it through finals" I might just lose it! I will make it through finals. My due date is 4 days after finals and we will make it! I feel the pain.

yepyepsms · April 2014

I got "you look like you're going to explode" today. That was super awesome.

LeeLee86 · April 2014

I love the "You're still here?" Yes, if I had had the baby why would I be back at work?? Dumbasses...

Lunatygercat · April 2014

I am taking my finals early. But if I get one more comment about " are you sure you're not having twins" I'm going to punch someone in the throat. I am carying DD low and breech and have my entire pregnancy. Good grief people. I would know if there were two in there already.

ArmyMedic7588 · April 2014

WEEKS ago at drill someone asked me "when are you finally gonna pop that baby out?" I was somewhere around 28 weeks I think and replied "I just started the 3rd trimester. I'd like to keep the little one in awhile longer! I'd like a healthy baby!". People annoy me with that kinda crap, please stop wishing for my child to arrive so prematurely she would most likely have problems and stay in a NICU! 7 weeks to go, we'll see what comments I get this weekend at drill. Ugh! I feel ya OP.

christieep · April 2014

I felt like a little kid being bullied at school on Monday morning getting ready for work. I wanted to cry and I was dreading it. So many people here have made comments about my size. One even asked if I had been to the doctor lately and if I was measuring okay (for the record, not that it matters, I am measuring on time). I just didn't want to come to work and hear it all again. Thankfully, I've made it through the week so far with no comments. So far...it's only Wednesday though.

gutsysneakers · April 2014

One of the paralegals at work asked me in front of a handful of people "how much weight have you gained?" - seriously? wtf? I looked at her and said "I'm not answering that". She says "well, you look great, its all belly!". Damn straight its all belly, but I'm still not answering your question.

I seriously don't get people. And if one more person who things we are "friends" comes up and touches my belly, I'm going to lose it. 5 more weeks....

waveboundgrl · April 2014

I've gotten both the "Not yet?" and the "You can't even tell you're pregnant!" or "You're so small for 9 months!" I also keep having people point and tell me I'm having a boy by the way I'm carrying. Baby GIRL is due May 10. One more month of this craziness and then it'll probably be, "How far along are you?" with my mummy tummy. Can't win

Lild09 · April 2014

Feeling all of you! It's funny how ppl are like wow your so small or omg your huge or twins? It's like no one has ever seen a pregnant woman before! Especially the huge comments...ppl we are not huge, we are all almost 9 months pregnant where is an 18 inch or so 5 lbs ish bsby suppose to go? Very frustrating! At my shower my aunt in law was like wow look how big you got in a month! You sure it isn't twins? DH over heard and he knew as I soon as I turned around I was holding back tears. Being pregnant does not give you the right to talk about size or weight for anyone. My favourite was a midwife who told me you look beautiful! When I said how big I was getting and I thought damn it I do! I'm freaken pregnant with this sweet little being in me I damn straight look beautiful because it's life right infront of your
eyes!

After that rant: we are all beautiful with our bellies growing lovely babies

Bootsie327 · April 2014

Last week, a friend of my MIL's asked "How much longer? A week or two?" and I was like, "Uhh...six." And I could tell she didn't know what to say in response because she thought I looked ready to pop. Most of the annoying comments I've gotten come from co-workers...I notice that about many of you, too. I wonder why that is? Maybe because they are people we see everyday, so they think they know us enough to say whatever the eff they feel like, when in reality they don't know that much about us at all?

awc1986 · April 2014

I've recently noticed that people have started to look at me with that "please don't go into labour here" expression. I genuinely think most people don't know what a full term pregnant lady looks like, so as soon as you start looking more than 25 weeks, they think you're gonna drop.

csavery · April 2014

My supervisor looked at me wide eyed today and said "you know you really have gotten big"
It seems to be all men that are making comments on my size....I'm ready to throat punch the next one that says anything

MissLadyTay · April 2014

Yeah I think most people don't know what a full term pregnant woman looks like. The pregnant women on TV never look more than 30 weeks to me. With my first I got to what I thought was "as big as it gets" at like 34 weeks. Nope. I was wrong. Your belly gets SO distended at the very end and I think it throws people off.

babyaotw · April 2014

My coworker today told me I look like I could be a line backer. Uhh, thanks. I'm five three and nine months pregnant, clearly a beacon of male athleticism.
