I had an 8 month old and an old woman patted my stomach and commented about the next one. I was practically in tears. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/happy-mothers-day-to-me-1#post-2173449 Sun, 10 May 2015 13:55:15 +0000 Purpledaisy 2173449@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm sorry :sad: don't let her ruin your Mother's Day! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/happy-mothers-day-to-me-1#post-2173440 Sun, 10 May 2015 13:31:55 +0000 jhd 2173440@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm so sorry.

People suck </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/happy-mothers-day-to-me-1#post-2173377 Sun, 10 May 2015 11:08:33 +0000 HourThyme 2173377@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How about I share what I saw as a funny story to hopefully make you feel better about the dumbo-heads out there. </p> <p>A supervising psychologist I really dislike because she is such an inflexible know-it-all shared a story about asking a teacher at her kid's school how far along she was thinking she had a sizeable bump... Turns out the woman had a TUMOR! My supervisor felt awful and though I felt awful for the poor woman with the tumor an evil part of me snickered at my supervisor for being such an insensitive dimwit. </p> <p>moral of the story: don't ever ask unless you know for sure! geez! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/happy-mothers-day-to-me-1#post-2173372 Sun, 10 May 2015 10:58:38 +0000 Mrs. Tiger 2173372@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>how frickin rude! Sorry mama. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/happy-mothers-day-to-me-1#post-2173371 Sun, 10 May 2015 10:55:34 +0000 blackbird 2173371@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wow you'd think a midwife of all people would know better! Unbelievably rude. Please don't let her ruin your day! Your body has done so much! Two babies in 15 months is hard! </p> <p>Shame on HER </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/happy-mothers-day-to-me-1#post-2173370 Sun, 10 May 2015 10:55:12 +0000 MOMTOLITTLEB 2173370@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm sorry that happened to you. It was very inappropriate to assume and honestly even if your belly is still big I don't think you look pregnant like about to go into labor pregnant where someone could tell for sure. You're not alone. My son is 17 months and my belly area doesn't look anything like it did before. It was never amazing but now I'd describe it as crazy. And I'm a petite person so it is not cute on me. I try to work on it but I don't do as much as I should because you know I'm trying to support my family and raise a good kid. Makes sense I just wish it made me feel better when I look in the mirror! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/happy-mothers-day-to-me-1#post-2173367 Sun, 10 May 2015 10:50:06 +0000 gentlelunette 2173367@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So rude and inappropriate of her! I'm sorry that she put a damper on your Mother's Day. Try to let it go and be proud of what that body has done! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/happy-mothers-day-to-me-1#post-2173364 Sun, 10 May 2015 10:43:39 +0000 loveisstrange 2173364@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Happy Mother's Day!</p> <p>First, that woman is a douche. Second.... You are BEAUTIFUL, mama. Dont let yourself or anyone else tell you different. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/happy-mothers-day-to-me-1#post-2173362 Sun, 10 May 2015 10:43:00 +0000 oliviaoblivia 2173362@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@knittylady: you are an amazing an beautiful mother. She is a sucky midwife and crap person. Be kind to yourself mama, you've had a busy 15 months. :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/happy-mothers-day-to-me-1#post-2173359 Sun, 10 May 2015 10:38:56 +0000 Keybee 2173359@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm sorry! She should have known not to ask. I'm sure she feels embarrassed. Happy Mother's Day! Two babies 15 months apart is an accomplishment! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/happy-mothers-day-to-me-1#post-2173357 Sun, 10 May 2015 10:26:56 +0000 knittylady 2173357@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: seriously?! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/happy-mothers-day-to-me-1#post-2173356 Sun, 10 May 2015 10:25:51 +0000 knittylady 2173356@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks everyone for the kind words! I had two babies 15 months apart and need to let up on myself. It's just so hard when the voice criticizing you in your head comes out of another persons mouth. Ugh. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/happy-mothers-day-to-me-1#post-2173348 Sun, 10 May 2015 10:06:25 +0000 Charm54 2173348@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ugh - I've been asked this question twice when I nowhere near pregnant, or even PP (once while I was trying to get pregnant, that was fun!). People are so RUDE!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/happy-mothers-day-to-me-1#post-2173346 Sun, 10 May 2015 10:02:03 +0000 autumnlove 2173346@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Happy Mother's Day! Sorry about her comments! </p> <p>My eye Dr. asked me how far along I was on Fri. 24 weeks. "Wow, don't take this the wrong way but aren't you really big and showing a lot for only being 24 weeks?!?" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/happy-mothers-day-to-me-1#post-2173345 Sun, 10 May 2015 09:56:27 +0000 jedeve 2173345@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>People! I think people don't really think about what women actually look like. Yes, we have curves, especially those of us that have gotten to experience the miracle of birth. And yes, "curves" isn't just hips and butts and boobs - our tummies curve out too. And that's fine! And good! You were your baby's first home! You are beautiful! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/happy-mothers-day-to-me-1#post-2173342 Sun, 10 May 2015 09:51:41 +0000 HLK208 2173342@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hugs!!! That's the crappiest feeling! I've totally been there. But you know what, when I'm not getting sleep and taking care of an infant, the last thing on my mind is working my butt off to lose the baby weight.<br /> I was definitely in survival mode the first year and once that passed, I was able to refocus on myself and not look pregnant lol.<br /> Not saying that's true for you! But screw other people who can't understand that asking others when their due is NOT nice. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/happy-mothers-day-to-me-1#post-2173338 Sun, 10 May 2015 09:41:50 +0000 Foodnerd81 2173338@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>In sorry that happened! Who would ask that?? </p> <p>You carried a baby and your body will never be the same- even if it goes back to looking like it did before, it's still changed because it made a baby! I hope your LO and SO are showering you with love. </p> <p>And I was asked several times if I was pregnant loooonnngg before I was even thinking bout having babies. I carry weight in my stomach. At first I was embarrassed, then I decided the askers should be embarrassed, not me, so I just tried to make them uncomfortable for asking. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/happy-mothers-day-to-me-1#post-2173335 Sun, 10 May 2015 09:40:25 +0000 Tanjowen 2173335@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>People don't think before they speak at times! Your body went through a major transformation and it is going to take time. ..and that time is not in the first year or two when you are trying to survive on broken sleep, whatever food you have energy to make, and zero energy left over at the end of the day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/happy-mothers-day-to-me-1#post-2173331 Sun, 10 May 2015 09:32:23 +0000 simplyfelicity 2173331@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Happy mothers day to you! You are so much more than what one random stranger thinks of you. It's ok if you need to have a little cry but you are beautiful and strong. :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/happy-mothers-day-to-me-1#post-2173320 Sun, 10 May 2015 09:22:17 +0000 lawbee11 2173320@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Uhhhh was she trying to solicit your business or something? Well, guess that plan backfired! So sorry that happened to you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/happy-mothers-day-to-me-1#post-2173318 Sun, 10 May 2015 09:20:21 +0000 wrkbrk 2173318@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh jeeez what a moron she is. Don't feel bad though-every single person I know who has had a baby had a bit of poof for the next year :) Don't let it bother you! I am expecting it for myself too!!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/happy-mothers-day-to-me-1#post-2173316 Sun, 10 May 2015 09:19:32 +0000 wonderstruck 2173316@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What an asshole. As a midwife she should know WAY better than to just ask a total stranger that! I'm sorry :sad: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/happy-mothers-day-to-me-1#post-2173315 Sun, 10 May 2015 09:19:17 +0000 dc yoga bee 2173315@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh man, I am so sorry this happened. Your body is strong, and carried and birthed another human being! And we celebrate you not just today, but everyday for all the wonderful things you do. Hopefully, that midwife thinks before she speaks next time. No one should be made to feel badly about their body image. ((hugs)). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/happy-mothers-day-to-me-1#post-2173314 Sun, 10 May 2015 09:18:28 +0000 NavyRN2012 2173314@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My goodness, what kind of medical professional, or hell WOMAN, asks another woman how far along they are?! I'm sorry you're feeling poorly about yourself and this woman just made you feel worse!<br /> I was asked at my grandmother's funeral how far along I was- at 8 months PPP as well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/happy-mothers-day-to-me-1#post-2173312 Sun, 10 May 2015 09:17:17 +0000 Corduroy 2173312@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Way to poop on someone's Mother's Day, stupid stranger. </p> <p>@knittylady: Hugs and Happy Mother's Day to you. Go home to your family. They'll show you what really matters. Hint: it is not what some idiot at the grocery store thinks and it has nothing to do with the shape of your body. </p>
