Bahahaha ha!!!!!!!!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-pregnant-mamas-ever-get-the-stink-eye/page/2#post-1186069 Wed, 30 Oct 2013 18:18:54 +0000 pastemoo 1186069@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Same story as most of you.... I rarely drink coffee and was at a shop with my friend and ordered a cafe mocha. She said "decaf" and I said "no, regular, I don't get to drink coffee often, I want the real thing" she said something back and I told her my doc said I "could reduce to one cup of coffee a day."<br /> yeah. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-pregnant-mamas-ever-get-the-stink-eye/page/2#post-1185991 Wed, 30 Oct 2013 17:55:04 +0000 Penny Lane 1185991@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did once... I was 30 weeks and walking down the street alone one evening with 2 huge starbucks cups (whatever the biggest size is called!). they were just hot chocolate though, and one was for DH. </p> <p>i was waiting at a crosswalk and this one hipster dude was giving me the stinkest stinkeye i've ever seen! lucky i've got an epic BRF (especially at 30 weeks pregnant!!) so he didn't actually say anything, but he looked like he wanted to!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-pregnant-mamas-ever-get-the-stink-eye/page/2#post-1185766 Wed, 30 Oct 2013 16:42:50 +0000 ZombieBullfrogHoller 1185766@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh, and my mother completely freaked out when I posted on FB that I wanted to go roller blading when I was like 14 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-pregnant-mamas-ever-get-the-stink-eye/page/2#post-1185759 Wed, 30 Oct 2013 16:41:36 +0000 ZombieBullfrogHoller 1185759@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@grizz: Aah, I have resting bitch face, too! </p> <p>DH and I had a long engagement and had planned on getting married last September. But when we found out I was pregnant and LO's due date was for August, we decided to move it up to April. So I was about 6 months at my wedding. I had a glass of wine and one of our friends would not.shut.up. about how horrible it was and then I flipped out on him. It was awkward. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-pregnant-mamas-ever-get-the-stink-eye/page/2#post-1185735 Wed, 30 Oct 2013 16:36:56 +0000 Vegmama 1185735@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsjyw: Ha. I've never noticed. My husband &amp; I go to coffee shops alllll the time. I've even ordered a hard cider (well, a small-ish sample) at a bar, and didn't even think about other people judging me. </p> <p>I have friends who have been confronted about ordering coffee, and baristas that refuse to serve them caffeine!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-pregnant-mamas-ever-get-the-stink-eye/page/2#post-1185564 Wed, 30 Oct 2013 15:43:42 +0000 Chastenet 1185564@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lamariniere: We moved last January, but I did live in Paris for 13 years before that. My DH is also French. DD and I both have dual citizenship. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-pregnant-mamas-ever-get-the-stink-eye#post-1185521 Wed, 30 Oct 2013 15:26:28 +0000 MsMini 1185521@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got straight up lectured once at Starbucks ... I was going into my 6th 12 hour shift, and I very clearly told her what I thought of her intrusion, it wasn't pretty, I guess you could say I snapped. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-pregnant-mamas-ever-get-the-stink-eye#post-1185421 Wed, 30 Oct 2013 15:05:59 +0000 MrsF 1185421@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did have a barista ask me "don't you mean decaf?". Um.. nope - thanks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-pregnant-mamas-ever-get-the-stink-eye#post-1185405 Wed, 30 Oct 2013 15:03:35 +0000 lamariniere 1185405@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No stink eye, but when I had my glucose test (it's 2 hours by default here) the lab tech lady told me not to eat or SMOKE while I waited. As if! I guess it shows they are a lot more loose with what pregnant women are allowed to consume.</p> <p>@Chastenet: you're in France? I have been wondering if there are any bees in France. We lived there last year (DH is French). We are in Austria now and the doctor has me going in every 6-8 weeks for toxoplasmosis tests. He said in Austria the rate of contracting it is around 50% and France is about 80% compared to the US which is about 20%. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-pregnant-mamas-ever-get-the-stink-eye#post-1185222 Wed, 30 Oct 2013 14:14:39 +0000 avivoca 1185222@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had to work a big event one night, so I stopped by Kroger for dinner. I came through the line with a big salad, chocolate milk, water, and a York Peppermint Patty and the cashier had the nerve to tell me that my baby didn't need that chocolate because of the caffeine. So I told her that I'd already worked eight hours and I had at least four more to go and I would eat whatever I wanted. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-pregnant-mamas-ever-get-the-stink-eye#post-1184761 Wed, 30 Oct 2013 12:17:12 +0000 shellio 1184761@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have not gotten stinkeye in any coffee shops that I know of. I have enjoyed wine/beer/champagne occasionally but once I started looking obviously pregnant I was too embarrassed to do it in public - I wish people were less judgemental, or that I wouldn't let it bother me. I have been to the liquor store several times and keep waiting for someone to say something to me, but nobody has batted an eye! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-pregnant-mamas-ever-get-the-stink-eye#post-1184755 Wed, 30 Oct 2013 12:16:15 +0000 LemonLong 1184755@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got some looks when I was slack lining (kind of like tight rope walking) while in my third trimester, but I was only a few feet off the ground and my SO was spotting me so I felt totally comfortable with it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-pregnant-mamas-ever-get-the-stink-eye#post-1184713 Wed, 30 Oct 2013 12:01:23 +0000 Bookish 1184713@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, I got it for drinking soda, eating chocolate, and having lunch meat. Like @blackbird: @grizz: I have resting bitch face, so most of the time people stfu. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-pregnant-mamas-ever-get-the-stink-eye#post-1184681 Wed, 30 Oct 2013 11:52:50 +0000 blackbird 1184681@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@grizz, hahaha. Me too. Me too. I have a poster in my cube that says I have bitch face and this is just how my face looks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-pregnant-mamas-ever-get-the-stink-eye#post-1184616 Wed, 30 Oct 2013 11:29:26 +0000 LovelyPlum 1184616@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Cherrybee: LOL, my sisters gave me the stink eye this weekend over that very thing! I had about two sips, and DH was totally on board. But they were FLIPPING OUT about it. Granted, they're all younger, but still. </p> <p>Turns out it wasn't very good wine, so I didn't end up drinking much at all ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-pregnant-mamas-ever-get-the-stink-eye#post-1184605 Wed, 30 Oct 2013 11:26:29 +0000 lilteacherbee 1184605@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep, I look really young so I'm sure I've gotten the stink eye for people thinking I'm a teen mom. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-pregnant-mamas-ever-get-the-stink-eye#post-1184597 Wed, 30 Oct 2013 11:24:28 +0000 Boheme 1184597@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I once had the barista ask me if I was SURE I didn't want decaf. Uhh, yeah I'm sure. I've got a pretty serious case of resting bitch face though, so people mostly left me alone. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-pregnant-mamas-ever-get-the-stink-eye#post-1184591 Wed, 30 Oct 2013 11:22:51 +0000 illumina 1184591@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I went for sushi with friends (not my choice- I don't eat the raw fish bits anyway!) when I was around 16wks pregnant. I got the eye not because I was preg, but because I looked like I had eaten ALL the sushi!</p> <p>Later on, when I got huge, I noticed people giving me the eye for no reason I could see whatsoever... I was just walking about on my own a lot which was weird to some people? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-pregnant-mamas-ever-get-the-stink-eye#post-1184580 Wed, 30 Oct 2013 11:19:32 +0000 MCD919 1184580@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I go to the starbucks by our house pretty often.... 2-3 times a week, and it's always the same people working. Sometimes I wonder what they think about me, but I think it's perfectly fine to order a tall latte and would tell them so if I got any judgi-ness! Ugh, people are annoying! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-pregnant-mamas-ever-get-the-stink-eye#post-1184512 Wed, 30 Oct 2013 11:04:51 +0000 blackbird 1184512@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sure, while I was buying a 24 pack of beer at the grocery store. Some "concerned citizen" even came up to warn me against drinking while pregnant. </p> <p>Derp. Not for me, idiot. I was NOT in the mood.</p> <p>Sometimes people looked at me funny if I went to the store after Crossfit. Drenched in sweat and wearing booty shorts, I guess? :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-pregnant-mamas-ever-get-the-stink-eye#post-1184499 Wed, 30 Oct 2013 11:02:14 +0000 looch 1184499@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Chastenet: might be! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-pregnant-mamas-ever-get-the-stink-eye#post-1184443 Wed, 30 Oct 2013 10:51:44 +0000 jh524 1184443@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lol , stink eye!! Some people are so strange. I felt I got the judgey eyeball at lunch in teachers lounge when the "super healthy vegetarian"co worker looked at what I was eating. Hey, if I want to eat Doritos then in gonna!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-pregnant-mamas-ever-get-the-stink-eye#post-1184441 Wed, 30 Oct 2013 10:51:10 +0000 walnutems 1184441@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was baffled the other day because I got the worst stink eye I've ever gotten at Chick-fil-a of all places! I almost took a picture of her because it was so intense and I couldn't believe it. </p> <p>I had just gotten off work so I was still in business professional clothes and wearing my wedding rings...maybe it was because I ordered a Caffeine-free diet coke? ahh the horror :wink: ! I still can't figure it out... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-pregnant-mamas-ever-get-the-stink-eye#post-1184435 Wed, 30 Oct 2013 10:50:15 +0000 Chastenet 1184435@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: Funny, I wonder if that lettuce thing was due to toxoplasmosis? They were way more cautious about that in France than here. I had to have monthly blood tests to ensure I hadn't contracted it and my Dr told me to rince all raw fruits/veggies in white vinegar as a precaution. Here, they're like "do you have a cat?" "No? Ok, cool, carry on then." </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-pregnant-mamas-ever-get-the-stink-eye#post-1184427 Wed, 30 Oct 2013 10:48:43 +0000 Alivoo01 1184427@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yea bc my friends would give it to me when I ate sushi/sashimi and ate other things on the "no-no" list. I shrugged it off, I ate everything in moderation so it wasn't like I was overdoing it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-pregnant-mamas-ever-get-the-stink-eye#post-1184425 Wed, 30 Oct 2013 10:48:23 +0000 rachiecakes 1184425@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. J: I was carded at a casino when I was heavily pregnant (have to be 18 to enter). DH called me 'teen mom' the whole night. </p> <p>I got the stink eye when I was out really late at concerts and hockey games 9 months pregnant, eating jalapeños (I was told I was hurting my baby), drinking coffee, ordering greek salads and had a celebratory sip of champagne when the Bruins won the Stanley Cup. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-pregnant-mamas-ever-get-the-stink-eye#post-1184415 Wed, 30 Oct 2013 10:47:07 +0000 Chastenet 1184415@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Cherrybee: Funny, I went to my BIL's wedding at 37w - I had 2 glasses of champagne over the course of the day/night (there was no other way I was dragging my pregnant butt out onto the dance floor at 1am without that 2nd glass). No one batted an eye. I actually had to refuse alcohol that DH's family offered to me several times. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-pregnant-mamas-ever-get-the-stink-eye#post-1184411 Wed, 30 Oct 2013 10:46:24 +0000 looch 1184411@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Chastenet: Totally agree! I was pregnant with my son in Europe and no one really follows the same rules as they do in the US anyway. I had sushi, I drank coffee and no one said anything at all. IN fact, my OB said only one thing was restricted, a special type of local lettuce. Everything else was fine in moderation. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-pregnant-mamas-ever-get-the-stink-eye#post-1184401 Wed, 30 Oct 2013 10:45:18 +0000 Springtime 1184401@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! I drink a soda every now and then at work and there is this lady who tells me everytime how I don't need to be drinking that while pregnant. So annoying! </p>
