I have been really lucky so far that strangers do not try to touch my belly. Friends and family have, but they ask first and I get that they are excited.

Funny! Thanks for Sharing!

I've had 5/10 of these said to me. People are jerks

I wish people would ask if they could touch my belly. That way I could say NO! Unfortunately people just assume they can rub/pat/touch my belly whenever they want.

I've only got

#1 "Were you trying to get pregnant/Did you plan for this?"

I find this such a bizarre question. I mean, we did IVF so obviously we planned it, but what if we didn't? The only person who asked me was a coworker, too. Which I thought was extra inappropriate.

#2 "Can I touch your belly?”

The only people who have asked were friends and family (and I appreciated and was cool with them touching). If it was a stranger...hell no.

#8 "Are you planning on breast feeding?”

Yeah, I am. But it's none of your business.

I truly cannot fathom all the people getting asked if they're having twins. I am having twins and I would be offended if a random stranger asked that! Seriously. WTF is wrong with people?

Why is it so sad I've heard many of these at work? Every time I try not to hormonally berate my patient. One said, "are you sure you're not having twins? Are you sure your due in November? " as if I could pop a squat right there and push out a couple babies. ... X(

Uh so yesterday for the first time I was ask "You look like your about to give birth any day! When are you due?"

[-X

As me and DH were leaving the store I was like " so the rude comments begin" Then he says "Well if you weren't purposely sticking your bump out she wouldn't have said anything"

:-/

I told him there is no way I can purposely stick anything out it's doing it all on its own. Men! I don't think they fully understand the concept of this. I mean don't get me wrong my husband has been wonderful this whole pregnancy but C'mon Man!!!!!!

i'm so over the obnoxious comments! today i got another one "wow, you're really walking like a pregnant woman" no shit, i'm pregnant!! and my back is killing me so i dont give a crap what i'm walking like. yesterday was "omg, you have 3 months left?? i thought you were ready by the way you're walking" again, thanks i know im walking funny. i obviously dont feel too hot. and my favorite to date this random guy at work looks at my belly and says "so, how's your marriage going" what?!?!

I never get tired of these threads. Sharing is important therapy. At work last week I got "your boobs are getting big." Um thanks Tina I love you but weird.

Yes! What is up with commenting on my boobs? They are MY boobs. I know they are ginormous! Sheesh! I get that at work too. I just smile and nod, but one of these days...

I have had 9 out of 10 of those things happen to me in the last month or so. It's been awesome and so far, all of those people are uninjured. I make no promises for my reactions in the upcoming months though.
