Re: Why do people...

cause people are rude and obnoxious and should mind their p's and q's.

I had a person say to me"wow you finally look pregnant cause you got fat!"

Wow, so when I was skinny and not pg i looked undernourished?

Whatever happened to

Re: Why do people...

I hated when people were rude...

Someone told me once "your belly is soooo tiny, you must be having a girl because you carry girls in your hips and butt" I wanted to slap her!

Parents at my dance school always say "you're starting to get big"
Um yeah well I am pregnant, that might explain it.

Oh man, people are so dumb Chat Icon

My normally wonderful, loving FATHER said to me when I came back from the Bahamas .. "what the heck did you eat down there, you look like a HOUSE" (I happened to have a very loose/billowy top , but I digress..) Chat Icon

I was going through a major "crying phase" that day and immediately started to tear up ... he felt bad, which certainly served him right !! Chat Icon (hey I told ya on the other thread, the crying stuff works like a charm Chat Icon)

Re: Why do people...

I hate it when people do that.

My MIL should win the award for saying stuff that can hurt a pregnant woman's feelings!

When she arrived recently for my shower she said, "WOW...YOU GOT BIG".

She also said to me at 10 pm at night after I got home from dinner (lunch was the shower at 1pm), "DON'T TELL ME YOU ATE AGAIN!".

I'm sorry he said that to you, but that's really funny! I would have cried too.

Re: Why do people...

The eating comments gets on my nerves too. Sometimes my DH says things that HE finds funny, but they can really upset me if it's on a bad day. Like, "Geez, you're still hungry?"

Re: Why do people...

STILL happens to me. I just called to rsvp for a bridal shower for next weekend, and my friend's mom, who is throwing it, said to me, "Well, I heard you are HUGE now, so if you can't make it, then it's ok!" I responded, "Well, if you can FIT me, then I'll be there." Chat Icon Then she got the hint and apologized for how it came out.
I'm convinced people see pregnant girls as a target for all insensitive comments. They just do. And it's WRONG!

Oh, one other quick story....

My next door neighbor was walking out of the complex while I walking in and she said, "OMG! YOU ARE HUGE!" And before I could respond, God punished her because out of nowhere, she fell downChat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon I'm only laughing because she was ok, but STILL! If that's not justice, I don't know WHAT is!?

Oh, wait, but I will add something positive....

I almost KISSED someone at work yesterday because she came up behind me and said, "Wow, you don't even look pregnant from behind!"

I told her promptly that I loved her and she was my new best friendChat Icon
