My MIL is notorious for always having something to say. When I had my first daughter she not only told my DH to get a DNA test but not even 5 weeks after giving birth she said "you are going to lose all that weight, aren't you?" Yes I gained 60lbs during pregnancy and after went from weighing 112lbs to 130lbs but my god.... A few months ago while DH facetimed her she asked how much weight I have gained so far. Today, she asks to see my belly and when she sees it she says "wow! How far along are you? Oh you look like you're WAYYY farther than 31 weeks! Are you carrying a tank in there?" I laughed but DH knew as soon as we hung up the bitching would start... How freaking rude!!! So I feel like I should dedicate a book to her. Feel free to vent all the sayings you've heard or stories!
Re: I'm writing a book, "What NOT to say to anyone pregnant or anyone who has given birth"
Another coworker giggled and said "I love your pregnant ankles, they're so cute!" I do not have pregnant ankles. They're really not even the least bit swollen. So I wasn't offended so much as annoyed that she was being ignorant and seemed to just want to make a comment about my body.
This one is my husbands pet peeve: "oh you're so small! You're barely showing!" He thinks people are indicating theres something wrong with the baby and it makes him mad. In truth, I just tend to wear dark colors and I like flowy tops. When I wear a normal tank top, holy cow is that another story!
