Pregnancy Pet Peeves

We all know people do and say silly/stupid things to pregnant women. What have been some of your pet peeves?

I'm finding that I'm getting really annoyed by people recommending their names as a possible name for my daughter. I don't know what her name will be, yet.

    Call me strange, but I don't really have any pregnancy pet peeves. With that said, there are exactly two people that I see in a daily life that even know I am pregnant, one being my husband and the other being my fifty something year old male boss.

    Asking if it was planned or an 'accident'... I think it's so rude and none of anyone's business. So I say accident and then what am I suppose to act disappointed or are you suppose to feel bad for me? So annoying!

    Oh yeah! This bothers me too! I'm married and have a son so to me what I hear is this: "tell me about your sex life! How was this baby conceived?"

    I can't stand people telling me how I feel and how I'm going to feel. And the loads of unsolicited advice, especially when it's unrelated to anything I'm going through is just so annoying. I know people mean well, but I'm not you! Talk to me, don't preach at me.

    "You should have had your kids closer in age. "

    Wtf. I actually prefer to have them spaced out.
    Ds1 is 14. I had him when I was a teen. He was 4 when I got married. My husband was deployed for over a year and we had DS 2, 2 years after we were married. We tried for a while to get DS3.
    The age gaps were out of my control, so shut the mouth!
    Besides I'm not sure I could have handled it, I'm scared having a 19 month age gap. Terrified actually.

    Which brings me to my next pet peeve. People tell me I'll be fine, it'll be great, you'll do wonderful. Great. But that doesn't discount my feelings.
    I have a very low stress tolerance.

    This is my wtf moment too. My family even give me the side eye when I told them they are going to be surprised just like me and hubby.

    I was at a family gathering over the weekend. My husband ex aunt was there and I was standing getting food, she came up right behind me and grabbed my belly from behind and rubbed, and rubbed....... And rubbed. I usually don't mind people touching my belly, but fricking ask me! Everyone was wanting me to have a girl, I did too, but since I'm having another boy people seemed disappointed. RUDE! I'm not disappointed, it's OK. I don't need to hear your "sympathies. " Legit this was my conversation with my grandma. "Hey grandma! " "Hey Brandi! " "I had my ultrasound today! " "Oh you did?" "Yes, I've got good news, and bad news, what would you like to hear first? " "Ugh, it's a boy isn't it? " .............silence. ......... "Well yes its another boy. But that's not the bad news!" Seriously, hurt my feelings so bad.
    I'm pretty sure the next statement out of my mouth would be F U. Even if I just over heard that being said to a friend. I wouldn't be able to stop myself. She should be happy it's a healthy baby. 


    I think my biggest pet peeve that's been done to me is ask if the pregnancy was planned. Nunya!

    No one really says annoying things to me about pregnancy. Maybe a perk of having been through it before?

    But my childless little sister always makes disapproving comments when ds is acting clingy, like it's my parenting that has made him that way. It couldn't possibly be a normal developmental stage or his mood that day. It really grinds my gears!

    I hate everything that comes out of my SIL's mouth regarding my pregnancy or parenting. :-@

    Me too! My SIL (BIL's wife) has been a mom for 5 and a half months and thinks she's a damn expert on everything pregnancy and children! I can't stand it! Every time I see her all she talks about is her "36 hour labor that ended in a c-section" and how she "could only eat mcdonalds for about two months because everything healthy made her feel crappy" and how "my salad and carrot eating days are numbered... blah blah f*cking blah!"

    She also constantly bitches about my BIL not taking over the "baby duties" right when he comes home from his 10 to 11 hour shift so she can have "me time" WTF?! You literally sit at home and do NOTHING in regards to the house. My BIL cooks dinner and cleans! I understand that sometimes your daughter can get fussy but it pisses me off that she doesn't give my BIL any "him time!"

    To top it off she's 6 years younger than me and thinks that just because she's now a mom she has more authority over me when it comes to disciplining our niece! I'm sorry but I spend a hell of a lot more time with her then you so back the f*ck off!!! Just because I didn't rush into being a mom doesn't mean I'm f*cking stupid! Our niece is 5 and she needs to listen to me regardless of what you think about my "lack if experience" X(

    ...may have gotten a little carried away with that... My bad.

    Edit: let me clarify my second paragraph before I get flamed further. Her mom lives in the same building and watches her daughter for 5 to 6 hours (sometimes more) every day. She does not work. So yes, it does bother me that everything is put on my BIL. My MIL also has a problem with this, but he loves her, so we both keep our mouths shut about it.

    My pet peeve is the woman who walked up to me tonight and said,

    "Hey, how are you feeling....fat?!"

    Um, nope, actually I feel pregnant, but thanks for that.

    Well that's effing rude!

    Apparently nobody does annoying shit to me!
    My pet peeve is having to hold back on a lot of my favourite sports/activities in the summer. I'm a pretty active person who enjoys full contact type stuff and riskier stuff so having to dial it back is kind of annoying.

    Gives me empathy for those who are legitimately incapacitated in some way all the time. Sucks!

    @NatureLovers‌ no I don't think that about all moms with 5 month olds. I know that about her because her mother lives in the same apartment building and she has told me that her mom takes her daughter every day for about 5 to 6 hours. Sometimes even longer, which is why I don't agree with her having "me time" when my BIL comes home from work.

    People commenting on what I eat. Oh really? Chips have a lot of salt? THIS IS BRAND NEW INFORMATION!

    Haha...from now on, I'm going to picture you as Phoebe on Friends and read all of your posts in her voice.

    I was booted off my lacrosse team when I told the coach I was pregnant. Meh.
