Do you find that people are nicer to you now

That you are preggo? Not friends/family - but just people that you come across in the stores and whatnot? I feel like people have been so nice to me since I have been pregnant - I'm going to miss the niceness once I lose this bump Chat Icon

My boss and I used to butt heads all the time, but now he talks to me like I'm almost human. They've never had a pregnant woman working there, so it's funny.

Sometimes I get smiles, but I mostly get stares. And nobody has let me cut in front of them in bathroom lines or anything like that, so I would say no.

I would have to say no. People stare alot more, like they have never seen a preggo with a baby already.

I almost gotten run down several times and had to get out of the way of people in stores several times throughout this pg and with DD.

Re: Do you find that people are nicer to you now

Actually I think my boss treated me worse after he found out I was pregnant, but he is also a sexist pig Chat Icon I found that some people would remark "oh your so cute" and ask about me being pregnant, but then there are other who would bump into me at the supermarket with the cart, cut me in line and could care less.

Absolutely! I get smiles, and comments all the time. And everyone else that I know is asking me "How do you feel" just about every day now!!!

I imagine it all goes away once the baby is born though Chat Icon

People are sooooo mcuh nicer to me!
There are some people at work who are notorious for being evil, and they're all really sweet to me. People who never spoke ot me before now smile and ask me how I am as they pass....it's amazing!

Yeah - whats up with the bathroom line thing?

I am ALWAYS going to let a pregnant woman go ahead of me (unless I am waiting with my kid doing the pee pee dance!!!)

DH is so funny, when we finally got into the room he was like, "I swear who raises these men?" He is so cuteChat Icon
