Is this question getting annoying to anyone else?
"How are you feeling?"
Ok, I know people are trying to be nice, but do they have to ask me this EVERYTIME they see me?? I guess it's tougher when there are a lot of people in your company, but some of these people I barely know, and now that I'm pg, they are all so concerned about how I'm feeling!! How am I supposed to feel?  I try to not let it known that this question is beginning to drive me nuts, but I have started nicely telling people who I see and work with all the time to please stop asking me and they laughed along and totally understand, especially those who were recently pg.
Sorry, just needed to vent....and again, I know people mean well, it's just getting to me, maybe because I'm getting bigger by the minute and am soooo uncomfortable.

Re: Is this question getting annoying to anyone else?
Just answer like I would:
"I am fine but I am very gassy."
"I am fine but I'd really love to have a nice poop once a day."
"I am fine but I need a crane to get me off the toilet."
(See a theme here?)

 OMG, how funny!! I will have to keep that in mind. Hey, they wanted to know how I'm feeling, right?

Re: Is this question getting annoying to anyone else?
It actually doesn't bother me at all. If anything, it's nice to know that people care about how I'm feeling! I get it a few times a day, since people know I've been dealing with m/s.

Re: Is this question getting annoying to anyone else?
i does bother me a little... but then i think of how much it would bother me if they didn't ask so i stopped caring, and just say "fine, thanks"

Re: Is this question getting annoying to anyone else?
I'd much rather be asked how I'm feeling (which I think is very nice of people to ask) rather than being told, "Wow- you're big").
I am one of 4 pregnant women at work and I ALWAYS ask the other ladies how they're feeling.

Well, umm, actually, I did get told that I'm big last week by some girl in my bldg. This girl is thin as a rail and when she was pg, could not have gained more than 2 lbs!

Re: Is this question getting annoying to anyone else?
I don't want anyone to think I'm ungrateful, but it's just that I get asked a minimum of 12 times per day, not exaggerating. And I know people are being nice, and it's a blessing to feel good, it's not that, it's just that some people who don't give you the time of day normally all of a sudden want to know everything about you when you're pregnant. It never bothers me when people I see once a week ask me, it's the people who see me EVERYDAY who ask me everyday how I'm feeling that sort of get to me. And it did not bother me 10 weeks ago, I think it's because I'm further along now and I'm getting more cranky and uncomfortable.

I can't even walk to the bathroom without being stopped by someone to ask me how I feel.
It gets annoying.

That is when I normally get stopped b/c the restrooms are near the elevator, so if I don't get it in the ladies room, it's right before I walk in or after I walk out of there. Also, the cafeteria is another "checkpoint" LOL....
You're almost there girl!! Are you getting excited??

Re: Is this question getting annoying to anyone else?
That doesn't really bother me. I think it's kind of nice actually that for once people are always nice and asking how I am.........even strangers. It's sweet. The question I get tired of if "what are you having" and when I tell them we don't want to find out I get tired of explaining why I don't want to know. That drives me nuts!!

Re: Is this question getting annoying to anyone else?
Ugghh...towards the end, I couldn't stand that question! Even though I KNOW people mean well, it gets tiresome answering the same question 100xs per day.

Re: Is this question getting annoying to anyone else?
That question doesn't bother me so much but my DH can't stand it when people ask "are you excited" and we both can't stand when our mothers keep asking us if we like the furniture we registered for. Why would we register for it if we didn't like it? We're realizing that they don't like the furniture we registered for, and that's why they keep asking.

Re: Is this question getting annoying to anyone else?
How ironic, I just noticed my ticker says "if one more person asks my mommy how are you feeling one more time, she is going to drop kick them to New Jersey" So I guess I am in beeeotch mode at the right time, 27 weeks!! And btw, the question did not bother me before I was say 24-25 weeks.

Re: Is this question getting annoying to anyone else?
I didn't mind that question from most people, buyt every time my mil would say the same thing:
"how you feeling, sarah? tired. you look it."
Thanks. You look old. 
No, I didn't say that but, I hated being told that I look tired. I still do.

Re: Is this question getting annoying to anyone else?
I swear if I hear my dh ask me "are you OK" or "what's wrong" again I will throw him off the bridge it's OK once in a while but 50 times a day he is driving me nuts!!! OK granted there is reasoning for his concern but he is getting on my nerves!!
