    The comments about how I'm having a HUGE baby and then the horror delivery stories that follow.  Seriously, STFU!

    My MIL keeps reminding me that when DH was born, they had to use the "tongs" to get his head unstuck. "We have huge babies in this family. Good luck!"
    Yeah, thanks.

    Ladies, these are great! I've had very similar if not some of the same questions. However, I do think the horror stories and silly advise are the most annoying. I think veteran mommys should focus on giving us newbies good advise and sharing positive experiences since they know what to expect. It's no secrete being pregnant and giving birth is hard work, but it's a means to a wonderful end. I have new respect for those who've done it more than ones and will not hesitate to give new mommys to be encouraging and positive advise :)

    Everyone asks how far along I am and when I tell them they had all acted concerned at how small I am. I'm 36wks now & It's been really frustrating for people to act as though something is wrong with me bc belly is small. I'm a small girl but I have gained 44 lbs, mostly chest & butt. Measured higher growth than expected last week too. I'm healthy so no worries. Does anyone else have to deal with this:/? Ugh

    This. The way people say "you're 38 weeks? But you're so tiny!!!" almost makes me feel guilty and wish I was bigger than I am. I've gained a little less than 30 pounds but my huge (and I mean too huge, DDD huge) boobs make my belly look a lot smaller than it really is. I have to remind myself of that all the time. The doctor isn't concerned, so I have no reason to be. I know my baby boy is growing more and more everyday.

    With only 2 weeks til due date, over the holidays every woman I came in contact with felt the need to tell me if they thought "I dropped" or "I didn't drop yet"... like do you have nothing else to talk about? You clearly have no idea what your even talking about.

    I've got 5 weeks to go and still have people who haven't been able to tell I'm pregnant. When they find out they're surprised. I don't think I always look 8 months pregnant! :(

    I have close family members give me advice EVERY DAY... Well, sllep now cause you won't when the baby gets here and DH won't want to help.. (I cant sleep kow due to hip pain, peeing, and cant breathe... And excuse me, but just because your husband refused to help, doesnt mean mine wont) Oh, have you told your doctor your feet are swollen?? (Well NO, you mean I should tell my doctor my feet, legs,face and hands are swollen??? YES I TOLD HIM!!!) ... Just remember I have done everything you have done before.. (Yes 30 years ago you did this... If I ask your opinion, give it to me.. If I Dont... Its because I don't want it).. And lastly.... Make sure you call me when you go into labor... (Okay.. How about I call you when I feel its necessary and STOP asking my mom to promise to call you because you think we won't tell you until we get home from the hospital that the baby was born)...

    Ugh all of these things!
    One of my good friends said "you can see the weight in your face now". I've gained 22 pounds. It's not that much and I don't need to be reminded I look bigger.
    I echo everyone giving you the lame "sleep now while you can get it", "enjoy your alone time, you'll never be alone again", "your life is about to change".
    REALLY?! I had no idea.
    I also had a guy lecture me about how not to give up on breast feeding. That it's like learning to ride a bike.. It will hurt at first and then you'll love it.
    I finally asked him if this was through all of his experience breast feeding over the years and he finally shut up.
    Grr.

    Im 36 weeks now and I hadn't really gotten any terrible comments until this week at work from two different customers. I had a sweatshirt on both times which is kinda tight around my belly but it doesn't bother me and this guy noticed and goes "stretchy material huh?" Like excuse me that was completely rude. I'm pregnant and it's perfectly ok for me to show off my bump if I want to. Nor did I ask for your opinion. The second one was from a woman going into the fitting room. She said "do you have any clothes that fit over that belly? Men's 2xl right? That's what I used to do. Wear all my husbands clothes." First of all my belly is not hanging out of my sweatshirt so I believe this qualifies as fitting over my belly. Secondly I weigh 135 right now while being 36 weeks pregnant. So no I don't need a men's 2xl. Thirdly my husband happens to be a small guy as well so wearing his clothes is the same. And lastly just because you apparently think I need to hide my bump does not mean I feel the same way. I'm proud of my little boy so you can take your opinion elsewhere.

    Until now I think I've been pretty tolerant of the cliche and unsolicited advice/comments that a lot of posters have described (e.g., "Get all the sleep you can now!" and "Are you sure it's not twins??"), but now that I'm 38 weeks my patience is wearing thin!! But I think the most annoying trend that I've noticed lately is people asking me or advising me about episiotomies ("Did you KNOW they do that???"). It seems like all the sudden episiotomies (and specifically MY potential episiotomy) are a really popular topic of conversation! Just because I'm pregnant doesn't mean I have lost any expectation of boundaries or privacy, and it certainly doesn't mean I want to talk to you about my perineum and whether I'm massaging it!!
