Got my first "Holy crap" comment...

I was at the store today getting the little guy some last minute things when I walked past an older lady who took one look at me and said "Holy crap when are you due!?!" I kinda laughed and said "Two weeks!" She shook her head and said "Yeah you look it! Someone should be following you around with a towel and a pot of boiling water!"

I stared at her and then walked away. As I was walking away she pointed to my daughter and said "If you make all of them as cute as her, you should keep making them! Is she getting a brother or a sister?" I said "It's a boy." Then she said "So he won't be as cute as her, but you should keep trying!"

I stared at her and walked away faster.

W.T.H...

  • I hate those comments so much, because what they're basically saying is, "you're huuuuuge!"

  • Yeah, I get these comments a lot. Just today a lady asked my due date, told me that I looked it and told me that I needed to serve lo an eviction notice. I usually just laugh. The only time I actually was embarrassed was when some 10 year old kid in a furnituresstore started screaming at the top of his lungs "She is having the baby! " as if my water had just broken.

    I normally would have just laughed, but her comments had such a bite to them, and I was already kind of frustrated at the store, that I just couldn't drag the humor out of it.
    The thing is, I'm not even really that huge! My belly button hasn't even popped out yet!

    Ugh!  People need to just learn to keep their mouths shut around pregnant woman (or maybe only around me when I'm pregnant...maybe others are more kind).  I'm just telling everyone I'm 10 months pregnant now and laughing (possibly menically).  The end.

  • Classic case of 'foot in mouth syndrome'.
  • I had an employee in a drugstore do that routine, complete with "wow you're so big!!!" Happened to be the same day a patient expressed concern about baby's growth "because you're still so tiny."

    Mind you, I'm measuring precisely average. I decided then and there that these random commentators have no idea what they're talking about. Doesn't entirely kill my irritation, but makes stupid comments a lot easier to dismiss.
  • When people ask when I'm due and I tell them, they're like but you're so small! Like I'm not growing my child right. Then a coworker this week told me my face looked puffy. And when I told DH I gained 5 lbs this week, he said, "yeah, I can tell."

  • People these days.... I had someone just keep staring at me.  I think they wanted to ask but didn't so I finally just said "I am pregnant not fat and I am due in however many days I had left."  They finally said "Oh... Congrats I was wondering."  I am like seriously?!?! I am all in the belly you can clearly tell I am pregnant but people have to stare.  I just keep telling myself 9 more days till your due date.
  • Wow!

    I was on a walk this weekend and a cyclist was behind me on the trail. I moved out of the way and stood sideways.  I guess he couldn't tell I was pregnant from the back, so his comment was "You trying to get that kid out today?"  Mostly, it just made me laugh because the look on his face was hilarious!

    Well I had a patient ask me yesterday if I was sure i wasn't pregnant with twins.... That's not the first person to ask. I'm due May 25 to have a single baby boy. Why do people say such things? The dr I work for said he's always heard never ask a woman if she's pregnant until she's crowning. Ha. Good rule!
