Are people nicer to you....

when they know you're pregnant?

I told 2 people at work (1 being my boss who totally knew I was pregnant by the change in my behavior) and they have been ridiculously nice to me! I'm not complaining...but I am just curious if this is happening to anyone else!

I haven't announced anything yet, but it definitely did with my 1st! In fact, they were even nicer to me for the first few weeks that I was back at work...and then things eventually went back to normal Chat Icon

Yes, especially strangers. For some reason when you're pregnant people expect you to be friendly! Chat Icon

YES! My mom was in shock when we were out a while back bc SO many people just come over touch my belly, ask when Im due, what I am having etc.

My mom who is outgoing and friendly said she would never do that to a stranger Chat Icon It does not bother me though, I think it is really sweet.

Re: Are people nicer to you....

the first time around yes, this time not as much but that's with people who I know, family, etc.

In general I've found people to be good giving up seats on the subway etc. It is kind of funny when people ask if it's your first and when they hear no they look disappointed like it's not as amazing when it's #2.

Yes, people hold doors open for me, ask about my pregnancy, etc. Except, at work! I don't get any special treatment and it's as if this beachball under my clothes doesn't exist.
