I seem to have grown men doing this instead of kids. Seriously creepy!

otter1103 · May 2014

@LoHerrim‌ - I get the same but with the added "is she frigging crazy" or "how old are you?!" gleamer in their eyes. Oldest is 17 and graduating in 2 weeks. Youngest is 14. On one end of the spectrum, I'm a young mom and on the other end, I'm an older mom.

...when people can recongize it's you in the conference room from the size of your ankles (fogged windows except for the very bottom part)
...when you have no shame wearing the same skirt or pants 3 days in a roll because honestly if they say anything, you may just start crying
...when people keep saying "OMG you look so big" and you just want to smack them in the face to get them to shut up
...when your shirt keeps getting wet when you wash your face or brush your teeth because it sticks out too much

I've had a lot of looks like this from teenage girls and older women... I'm 23 and I've never felt like I looked younger than I was, but every time I catch an older woman looking at me or my belly, I always think they're looking at me like I'm 16 years old an they're judging me... especially when I have DS with me too.

The other day I was asked by someone how old I was and I said "I'm 23 but I should be 24 before the baby arrives." And the lady goes "don't you think that's a little young?" I looked at her and said "no" and turned away. People have such nerve.

cMichelle0423 · May 2014

@kbellizio3‌ I had the same thing happen to me a couple months ago. Not only did she think 23 was young to be expecting a child, but she damn near had a heart attack when I told her I already had a 1 year old too. Apparently 23 is the new 16.

jshrop · May 2014

@cMichelle0423‌ & @kbellizio3‌, my response to them would likely be "oh shit! You're right? What have I done? I guess I'll just have to return this one to the hospital. Think they give refunds?" And then walk away.

cMichelle0423 · May 2014

@jshrop‌ lol I felt so awkward I had no words left for her wrinkly old ass. She looked like she was 90 so I should have said something like "back in your day weren't yall having kids by 16 anyway?"

BabyCurtiss2014 · May 2014

When you pee in the shower...yeah...when you get to THAT point that you just don't care lol. I'm talking just a few drops so it's not that bad, like when the baby shifts and sits on your bladder and it hurts and you feel like you gotta go NOW. Yeah...did not tell DH about that one lol. :-S

gregsgurl81304 · May 2014

When you cant tell the difference between, pee, discharge, or sweat from being so damn hot all the time. All you know is your panties are damp and need to be changed.

Your belly has gotten so big that your friends 4 year old interrupts your conversation about LO, and asks

4yr "where is the girl?"

me: "in my belly"

4yro: "well why did you eat her?"

ETA: hit enter before I was done typing.

izzetoot · May 2014

When you realize you have to do laundry in order to wear a clean bra bc the only ones left in the panty drawer laugh at you as you stare at them. So you just say fuck it and go without or continue on with the same one you've had on for a week.

Right there with you ladies. I'll be 25 next month and I have a 2 & 3 year old... People are so nosey and rude sometimes.

Shit maybe i should be scared about what people are gonna say to me- I'm 20 and about to have 2 lol... this will be peachy

colllydon · May 2014

When a lady at work comes into my office every morning and asks how the "little mommy" is doing?? And then proceeds to tell me to get up from my chair so she can see how much bigger my belly has gotten from the previous day. GTFO lady I'm working. I have literally taken to telling her to "just shut up." In the last few days. I think she thinks I'm kidding, sort of, but she bothers me a little less.

tnd1218 · May 2014

I carry extra underwear and pants with me because a sneeze, cough or sometimes just getting up is not good. I don't even realize it, till I make it to the restroom sometimes. It's never noticeable to others but I can't walk around smelling like pee all day.

Mizoo · May 2014

When a man behind you in the supermarket check out line tells you that you're surely going to be caught attempting to steal that watermelon!

The funniest part was that I didn't get it at first, I thought he meant that there was actually a watermelon in the bottom of my cart that I didn't see!

steprozz · May 2014

@cMichelle0423‌ and @kbellizio3‌ I get this too! I will be 26 in July and DS is 18 months right now and whenever we are at the park or try to do any mommy and me classes the other moms look at me like I should be filming an episode of 16 and pregnant or something. it is beyond frustrating!

BabyCurtiss2014 · May 2014

To all the younger moms I get the opposite..."this is your FIRST baby?!? Really!?!" Ok I'm 32 and I look like in my 20s so WTF?!? People are annoying! I also constantly get stares and people saying I'm about to pop! I thought about playing a trick on these stupid people at the grocery store like taping some water in my pants and next time someone says something I'd somehow pop it and be like "omg you're right I just popped!" Lol I wish I could do that prank!

jacksoha · May 2014

When not having the correct food in the house at the right time makes you cry. Or when you feel so exhausted and overwhelmed that getting ready for work makes you cry.

LoHerrim- The lifting belly trick isn't working as well as it did a few weeks ago. Any new tricks?

When my maternity bras are starting to reach their limits.

When I no longer care that people rub my belly (I don't have the strength to fight it).

When it's easier to smile than deal with people asking/guessing what's wrong.

When my swollen legs are declaring war on my MAT pants.

gregsgurl81304 · May 2014

New one I discovered this morning getting ready for work.

When your toddlers toilet seat (the one that goes over the normal toilet seat) brings the toilet to the perfect height for when you need to get back up, that you don't even bother removing it before you go pee, and it is cushioned so theres an added comfort bonus.

You make a special stop at the store just for TUMS and nothing else. (yeah, that just happened)

When the movement of the baby reminds you of the movie Prometheus where the lady was giving birth to alien...

I know I am lucky I don't get heartburn... But man! When she stretches her legs... I feel like my intestines and everything else are getting jammed up!

tbmadeamistake · May 2014

When you throw the biggest bitch fit of your life because DH refuses to drive two miles to McD's to get you fries for dinner, even though you've never, ever asked him to go out randomly for your pregnancy food needs because about five minutes after the BFP with your first child, he mentioned very seriously how he would never do that...and you stupidly decided to respect it until the ninth month of your second pregnancy.

He's getting me fries now...while his dinner sits on the stove getting cold because it literally finished cooking just as he left...I'd feel worse if I weren't getting my fries.

ETA: They were delicious.

@nutmegs8‌ I won't lie, I attempted this, even thinking, "what if she's being sarcastic?" Then thought, "oh screw it, I'll try anything at this point!"

I almost did a face plant into my bookshelf. Sciatica won't let me do any sort of hovering, and not hovering my belly lays on the toilet seat (Eeew). I've given up. I just pee a little every hour.

I tried and nearly face planted into the door! You must have amazing balance @nutmegs8‌

Are you talking about emptying your bladder?

I hope so because I'm going to share my trick:

My new pee position is face down ass up...that's the way I like to... pee. I just kind of hover over the seat and put my head between my knees and let her go.

That is the only position that I can really get an empty bladder. It looks funny, but it works (for me)

WARNING: If you think you might have to go loose #2, do NOT attempt this position!

This sounds incredibly dangerous and I will not be attempting. I am a klutz even when not pregnant... Was the warning from personal experience?!

Heck I get winded standing up from sitting!

I always get insomnia the last few months which sucks when you have older kids who like to wake up early. DH also has to take over all house cleaning duties because I can no longer bend over to pick things up and even trying to unload and reload the dishwasher kills my back. DH gets so anxious for baby to arrive that he starts talking about getting a puppy...I'm serious at the end of all three pregnancies. (Luckily I keep talking him out of the puppy thing). I use my older boys to pick up anything I drop or hand me things when I don't feel like taking the time or energy to try to stand up.
