Don't understand why people feel it necessary to judge or make comments. I'm still to early to tell anyone at work and slightly uncomfortable with the thought. A couple of my coworkers are already too touchy feely as it is- I don't want to exacerbate that problem. :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-coworkers-talk-about-your-pregnancy#post-983392 Thu, 01 Aug 2013 21:34:35 +0000 pregnantbee 983392@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@kimjsugar: Sigh. Not cool. Funny thing is that I never got that big. Was on target the whole time. I think people just get dumb around pregnant women. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-coworkers-talk-about-your-pregnancy#post-982874 Thu, 01 Aug 2013 19:25:53 +0000 MrsStormy 982874@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Bahaha someone at work just told me today (I've been out of town for a few days, so they had a break from seeing my hugeness) "you just keep getting fatter and fatter, every time I see you that baby has made you bigger", well duh lady, I'm growing a freaking human what do you expect, and seriously, fatter!? That's how you describe a pregnant woman?! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-coworkers-talk-about-your-pregnancy#post-982826 Thu, 01 Aug 2013 19:16:27 +0000 Kimo 982826@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pregnantbee: Same here! As if I didn't know I was pregnant, or hadn't looked in the mirror. Also one of my male supervisors used to always refer me as "mamacita" as soon as he found out I was pregnant, which I believe is a Spanish pick up line. I don't think he meant it in that way, but it was still weird. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-coworkers-talk-about-your-pregnancy#post-982364 Thu, 01 Aug 2013 17:49:32 +0000 pregnantbee 982364@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>People said annoying things to me all the time. "Wow, you look big." </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-coworkers-talk-about-your-pregnancy#post-982352 Thu, 01 Aug 2013 17:44:47 +0000 artsyfartsy 982352@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Geez that sucks!! I have a coworker who comments but not that bad. </p> <p>Oh you're eating again?<br /> Your hormones have messed you all up. </p> <p>Doesn't bother me that much. Its kind of just her personality.</p> <p>Then I have some coworkers who are in the premarriage stage and ask me lots of questions but I don't mind. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-coworkers-talk-about-your-pregnancy#post-982130 Thu, 01 Aug 2013 16:14:51 +0000 Torchwood 982130@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Dandelion: Thanks!

That takes guts!<br /> My coworkers rock!<br /> But my sil makes comments all the time. Telling me not to eat a hot dog, making sure I'm taking prenatals etc. Grrrrr. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-coworkers-talk-about-your-pregnancy#post-981787 Thu, 01 Aug 2013 14:23:40 +0000 Caly 981787@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Holy crap! I want to punch your co-workers for you! Sounds like I've been incredibly lucky...other than asking how I'm doing, when I'm due, etc, they've been very polite...I'm known for speaking my mind so perhaps they're afraid of the pregnant lady's wrath. Heh </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-coworkers-talk-about-your-pregnancy#post-981767 Thu, 01 Aug 2013 14:19:33 +0000 Dandelion 981767@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LizSmith: <a href="http://maternitiy.com/funny-maternity-shirts/" rel="nofollow">http://maternitiy.com/funny-maternity-shirts/</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-coworkers-talk-about-your-pregnancy#post-981763 Thu, 01 Aug 2013 14:18:07 +0000 Running Elley 981763@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@grizz: Haha I hide when I see coworkers out and about :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-coworkers-talk-about-your-pregnancy#post-981761 Thu, 01 Aug 2013 14:17:46 +0000 blackbird 981761@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine would make comments sometimes in a joking manner, but I'd just dish it right back to them. One was a guy commenting on my lunch, while he was munching fried chicken and french fries. </p> <p>I've found that with the weirdos I work with, you just want to be as blunt as possible. Otherwise they keep going!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-coworkers-talk-about-your-pregnancy#post-981760 Thu, 01 Aug 2013 14:17:39 +0000 MrsH 981760@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Dandelion: so awesome.</p> <p>My coworkers just stare at my belly and call me momma or little momma. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-coworkers-talk-about-your-pregnancy#post-981732 Thu, 01 Aug 2013 14:10:53 +0000 Boheme 981732@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My coworkers drove me CRAZY when I was pregnant! They asked way too many personal questions, even going so far as to ask if I was dilated. I saw one of them in Whole Foods when the baby was about a month old and I literally ran away haha! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-coworkers-talk-about-your-pregnancy#post-981727 Thu, 01 Aug 2013 14:09:55 +0000 Running Elley 981727@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ummmm yes my coworkers drove me CRAZY when I was pregnant with E. Crazy. They would always try to feed me sweets and things "for the baby." I never really announced and at one point one lady told another lady coworker that I was pregnant and the lady she told came up to me and told me that she had no idea I was pregnant- She just thought I was gaining happy marriage weight. Lovely. Thanks.</p> <p>The same woman also thought that it was perfectly normal to come tell me labor horror stories as I got farther along- ones that ended in both mother and baby or one or the other ending in severe distress or dying. It was horrible. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-coworkers-talk-about-your-pregnancy#post-981719 Thu, 01 Aug 2013 14:07:48 +0000 walnutems 981719@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I, so, feel your pain!! One lady that has 6 children is constantly remarking on my belly like it's insane that I'm 20 weeks and showing...what? Granted, she hasn't been pregnant for well over 40 years so I'm sure she's forgotten but dang do I want to punch her after every comment she makes!<br /> The same lady also made a comment to me when I was holding an EMPTY paper box. Empty! Asking if I should be holding it...um my purse is heavier than that but thanks for your concern! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-coworkers-talk-about-your-pregnancy#post-981681 Thu, 01 Aug 2013 13:59:40 +0000 autumnlove 981681@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My coworkers love DH and they though *I* was crazy for getting pregnant so fast after LO. They told me to give the guy a break! Lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-coworkers-talk-about-your-pregnancy#post-981667 Thu, 01 Aug 2013 13:56:17 +0000 MrsRoo 981667@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Dandelion: favorite pregnant shirt ever! I wish I had it during my pregnancy!</p> <p>@MrsTiz: ugh, my coworkers commented on my pregnancy all.the.time. It always seemed to be men or younger women with no kids commenting on my diet, activity level, etc. You aren't alone- people seem to have verbal diarrhea around pregnant ladies. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-coworkers-talk-about-your-pregnancy#post-981647 Thu, 01 Aug 2013 13:51:41 +0000 Torchwood 981647@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Dandelion: Love that!

The baby is brought up more times a day at work than at home and I am never the one to mention her! It is all done jokingly and in fun though. Never judgy or mean. I also work with a bunch of men so I am starting to guess they don't know what else to talk about. ne of them on convinced I am going to pop this week (as much as I would LOVE that) but she is sitting way too high... sigh... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-coworkers-talk-about-your-pregnancy#post-981598 Thu, 01 Aug 2013 13:44:21 +0000 avivoca 981598@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>One guy keeps talking about how big I'm getting. He has two children. It's not like he's never seen someone GROW A HUMAN before. He also keeps talking about the awesomeness of scheduled c-sections. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-coworkers-talk-about-your-pregnancy#post-981527 Thu, 01 Aug 2013 13:29:12 +0000 MrsTiz 981527@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@meganmp: they're both men! even worse lol! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-coworkers-talk-about-your-pregnancy#post-981503 Thu, 01 Aug 2013 13:23:39 +0000 meganmp 981503@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would take every fiber of my being not to start making comments back to that lady. I'm sorry! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-coworkers-talk-about-your-pregnancy#post-981489 Thu, 01 Aug 2013 13:20:16 +0000 MrsTiz 981489@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have one coworker who likes to comment on what i'm eating for lunch..every..single..day.<br /> "Apple juice?? Shouldn't you be drinking water?"<br /> "I bet the baby is moving away from you dropping all that salt all over your food. Wow." (barely any salt!)<br /> "You really should be eating vegetables. Why don't you like vegetables?"<br /> "Pizza? Do you not like salad?"</p> <p>...like, what? </p> <p>Another coworker comes up to me a few times a week and asks if they baby is moving so he can feel, asks me if DH is "slathering your stomach with oils every night?" really creepily, asks me "does your body itch from stretching so much?" and tells me that "that thing is getting HUGE!". He's got a creepy voice and asks everyday "Are we havin' fun yet?"....I don't understand lol!!</p> <p>Tell me your coworkers suck too? </p>
