Since we're all near the end I'm sure everyone has had someone say/do something ridiculous to you. What are some of the worst comments you've heard?

    I don't think it's an inappropriate question at all, but yeah I never know how to respond to the "aren't you so excited" question. Because no, I'm just not really excited about pushing this baby out (and the recovery). I usually reply that DH is. (Which is true!)

    The worst comment I had was last pregnancy, when DH's drunk uncle told me I looked like an aircraft carrier. I was 7 months.  :#

    @ecolton01 Wow, just wow. I can't believe people aren't observant enough to notice you're no longer pregnant. Also, after losing your MIL, and with the twins being in the NICU, I really can't blame you for not posting on social media. I wouldn't either.

    HOLY SHIT @ecolton01 How did you not lose it!??  I know this happened to my friend but she only had one kid so that's a little less obvious than losing a twin belly but...still OMG!

    “You need to rest/take it easy.”
    Back story: FIL has been in the ICU for the past 2 weeks. We’ve almost lost him a couple times, but today has been a good day. During all this, nearly everyone has been considerate and simply asked “How are you and baby?” or “Is there anything I can get you?” And I really appreciate it even though those questions do get old some days. But FIL’s sister keeps telling me to rest/take it easy and without ever asking how I’m doing.
    She’s also the one who keeps said asking me when I’m going to stop working and looks at me like I’m crazy when I answer “Um, when I go into labor.” Gee Auntie, thanks for the judgement. It makes me feel so loved...

    ETA- words are hard, especially on the app.

    I haven't had too many horrible remarks, thankfully, besides the "it only gets worse...."

    DH and I did have an amusing conversation the other morning though, actually we've had a few:

    Me: I feel like a whale.
    DH: Like a beluga? What kind of whale? 
    Me: A fat one. Help me outta bed I gotta pee.
    *********
    Me: I'm starting to feel uncomfortable.
    DH: Considering how the rest of your pregnancy has gone in comparison to most women's, I'm sure you can put up with a 'little uncomfortable'.

    **********
    He does have a point. My pregnancy has been fantastic and complication free, and I honest to god wish that every woman could have experiences what I have throughout the past 8 months. I feel horrible knowing that some of you couldn't stop throwing up, had terrible acid reflux, where I have been able to eat and drink whatever I've desired.
    And my little uncomfortable is literally because the spawn has no where else to go but outwards - which to most people is only just starting to show since I can still zip up my pre-preggo jacket over it. 

    We're expecting spawn to stay in until 40, so 4 weeks to go. For the mama's that have already given birth congratulations on your bundles, and for those nearing the finish line, best of luck and praying for a swift and painless delivery to you all.

    @narubia Oh come on dude. It's good to be aware of how you've been fortunate but like, that doesn't actually change how you feel at this moment. Pain olympics/shaming is so pointless.

    I was in a wedding in late November and had to wear the same bridesmaids dress as I did at the small destination ceremony the bride and groom had 10 weeks before. The dress zipped and I was amazed! Then I felt defeated when the father of the bride said I was looking “ripe”. Thanks...

    I had a horrible one the other day.
    My friend just recently had a baby and my husband her and I were talking delivery stuff. Well the subject of stitching obviously came up and then the subject of that lovely (sarcasm) “extra” stitch. I’m already annoyed by the comment, but then a mutual friend chimes in “oh my family member is an Ob, we can just come over and take care of things”

    you bet your ass I made that whole Damn circle feel uncomfortable. I just started at him and said “really? Are you serious right now?”
    he replies, “sorry, thought it was funny” and I replied “well it’s really not”
    turned away from him and went back to the conversation and re-routed it somewhere different.
