It was funny. I told her that once in a while is ok, but I don't want my name to become "Preggers".

I have no reasoning behind it though. @mrs. wagon: HAHAHA - now that's what I'm going to think of pl0508 on "How do you feel about the word "Prego"" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-feel-about-the-word-prego#post-673069 Thu, 28 Mar 2013 10:26:09 +0000 pl0508 673069@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Don't like it ! pui on "How do you feel about the word "Prego"" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-feel-about-the-word-prego#post-673066 Thu, 28 Mar 2013 10:24:48 +0000 pui 673066@https://boards.hellobee.com/ It mildly annoys me. I wouldn't get mad at anyone who says it, but it makes me cringe. avivoca on "How do you feel about the word "Prego"" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-feel-about-the-word-prego#post-673061 Thu, 28 Mar 2013 10:23:33 +0000 avivoca 673061@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I kind of hate them both, but not enough to flip out if someone uses it in my presence.

I would rather use prego or preggers than "knocked up" :-) (although I probably have used all 3 on HB) Happygal on "How do you feel about the word "Prego"" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-feel-about-the-word-prego#post-672744 Thu, 28 Mar 2013 09:24:28 +0000 Happygal 672744@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I've grown used to it, but hated preggo, preggers, etc. at first. Also hated hearing "bump," but have really grown use to that as well! mrs. wagon on "How do you feel about the word "Prego"" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-feel-about-the-word-prego#post-672743 Thu, 28 Mar 2013 09:24:24 +0000 mrs. wagon 672743@https://boards.hellobee.com/ totally think of the commercial where it's so very obvious that Prego is thicker than Ragu.

I refer to myself as "preg", "prego" and "a blob" regularly! DH calls me "preggers" which I don't mind either. lovehoneybee on "How do you feel about the word "Prego"" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-feel-about-the-word-prego#post-672736 Thu, 28 Mar 2013 09:22:58 +0000 lovehoneybee 672736@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I hate it, lol, and threw a flip flop at DH the one and only time he tried to use it. That said I hate the word "preggers" even more. I don't know why, they're just both so grating.
