I was 12 weeks, and at a friend's wedding, and I told a mutual friend that I was pregnant and she said "oh good! I was wondering whether it was that or you'd just gotten fat!" I was so annoyed, especially because I still fit into all my clothes! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/craziest-thing-said-to-you-while-pregnant/page/2#post-2469366 Sun, 21 Feb 2016 17:25:13 +0000 Mrs.KMM 2469366@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My BIL's grandma chastised me for sitting with my legs crossed. Apparently it's bad for the baby! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/craziest-thing-said-to-you-while-pregnant/page/2#post-2469365 Sun, 21 Feb 2016 17:15:42 +0000 LovelyPlum 2469365@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Ree723: I was quite literally dumbstruck. No one had said anything weird to before that (35 weeks or so), and this lady was just off her rocker. </p> <p>Good story now, but at the time?! Just no. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/craziest-thing-said-to-you-while-pregnant/page/2#post-2469362 Sun, 21 Feb 2016 17:04:06 +0000 Ree723 2469362@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LovelyPlum: OMG!!! Who says that?!?! Seriously, who in their right mind would say that to a complete stranger?!?! To a sister? Maybe. A best friend? Possibly. A random stranger? No. Just no. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/craziest-thing-said-to-you-while-pregnant#post-2469359 Sun, 21 Feb 2016 17:03:00 +0000 Ree723 2469359@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had my first ever rude pregnancy comment last night and it was from SIL's neighbour at a party.</p> <p>After looking me up and down several times, she overheard someone congratulate me on my pregnancy (I'm 22 weeks) and then said "oh thank goodness you're pregnant! I've been thinking to myself how you've always been so skinny and it was such a shame you let yourself go so much!" :shocked: </p> <p>I suppose I could take it as a backhanded compliment but I was a bit miffed to be honest. And when I took a sip, and I mean about two drops of a sip, of champagne to toast my SIL's birthday, this same lady rushed right over to me and said "are you sure you should be doing that? Have you really thought about it?!" Umm, yes, and now please F off and don't talk to me for the rest of the night. Oh, she also criticised my wearing of four inch heels and told me I could be risking my pregnancy. Seriously lady, wtf?! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/craziest-thing-said-to-you-while-pregnant#post-2469316 Sun, 21 Feb 2016 15:15:39 +0000 LovelyPlum 2469316@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>"Are you having sex to get the baby out? Because, you know, if you do, your husband has to come inside of you for it to be effective."</p> <p>Said to me by a complete stranger at the grocery store one night. I couldn't even. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/craziest-thing-said-to-you-while-pregnant#post-2469223 Sun, 21 Feb 2016 11:17:20 +0000 HellOnHeels 2469223@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>"You're having a c-section right?! You don't want to ruin your vagina!"<br /> "Get the epidural! Why would you want to suffer through labor when you're going to suffer through the rest of your life now?!"</p> <p>Both from the same person who has never had children and never will... Only 14 weeks so I can only imagine what else is to come.</p> <p>Ps- I just can't with some of these comments. 😒 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/craziest-thing-said-to-you-while-pregnant#post-2469012 Sat, 20 Feb 2016 22:24:25 +0000 Mrs. Goose 2469012@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At about 35 weeks someone asked my boss what he thought I was having because we didn't know. His response, while looking at me, "a boy, because it's up high and boys like to be near the boobs"....so awkward. And I ended up having a girl. :) Other coworkers commented daily about whether I was carrying high or low. I never really noticed a difference. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/craziest-thing-said-to-you-while-pregnant#post-2469005 Sat, 20 Feb 2016 22:08:06 +0000 Corduroy 2469005@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A coworker asked me in front of about 5 other coworkers if I would let my husband taste my breastmilk. I was stunned. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/craziest-thing-said-to-you-while-pregnant#post-2469002 Sat, 20 Feb 2016 21:56:43 +0000 avivoca 2469002@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Jackiedavis87: There was another pregnant lady who came behind me and she told them that they were starting the tour on the second floor of the home of she could even make it up<br /> There. She was a bitch. I tried to report her but she was a volunteer and the people in charge had no idea who was at the front door. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/craziest-thing-said-to-you-while-pregnant#post-2468993 Sat, 20 Feb 2016 21:40:22 +0000 alphagam84 2468993@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not crazy but I was annoyed by how many people asked if I was going to stay home with DD. Not a single person asked my husband that question. Why does the woman have to stay home and never the man? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/craziest-thing-said-to-you-while-pregnant#post-2468976 Sat, 20 Feb 2016 21:13:58 +0000 Foodnerd81 2468976@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The worst I got was "I can tell you're having a girl because it's big all over " (hand gesturing all around the midsection). Rude, plus I already had a girl and when pregnant with her everyone told me I was having a boy. Meh. Some of these are plenty worse. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/craziest-thing-said-to-you-while-pregnant#post-2468975 Sat, 20 Feb 2016 21:12:29 +0000 pastemoo 2468975@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Jackiedavis87: Right! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/craziest-thing-said-to-you-while-pregnant#post-2468969 Sat, 20 Feb 2016 21:04:44 +0000 arosebyany 2468969@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pastemoo: LMAO!
