I'm a big girl now and get the "have kidS?" or "pregnant?" It's not baby weight or post baby weight people. Just fat! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-done-eating#post-1557876 Thu, 10 Apr 2014 05:06:48 +0000 illumina 1557876@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ugh, I can totally commiserate! I'm 7mths pp and I still look 5-6mths pregnant. I have this horrible fat roll around my belly that I cannot get rid of. People suck :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-done-eating#post-1556542 Wed, 09 Apr 2014 13:28:03 +0000 Mrs. Blue 1556542@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thankfully, this has yet to happen to me, but I KNOW I still look 6 months pregnant, and I'm just waiting on pins and needles for someone to say something like that to me. Ugh....So sorry! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-done-eating#post-1556531 Wed, 09 Apr 2014 13:23:43 +0000 photojane 1556531@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks y'all! I'm not happy it's happened to so many people, but glad I'm not the only one. :happy: </p> <p>@babyjmama: That story about your mom made me laugh out loud. I think she and I would get along very well. :grin: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-done-eating#post-1555329 Tue, 08 Apr 2014 23:14:51 +0000 HLK208 1555329@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@babyjmama: hahahaha about your mom and her fast food order!

One about me: about 2 months after having J I was enjoying a quiet trip to the grocery store by myself when I ran into an old coworker. We chatted a bit and then she said 'so when are you due? I'm SO happy for you!' My jaw dropped and I squeaked out 'a couple months ago....'To which she quickly realized the mistake and told me how good I looked. Uh, if I looked so great you wouldn't think I'm STILL PREGNANT. :P </p> <p>Next is my sweet momma. She worked at a nursing home and one of her residents asked her when she was due. She was in the middle of menopause and called me hysterically crying about how she COULDNT get pregnant even if she wanted to...then paused and said 'yes, large fries and a chocolate shake' and continued to cry ;-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-done-eating#post-1555287 Tue, 08 Apr 2014 22:10:56 +0000 Mrs. Pen 1555287@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@beaker: I remember the first time I got out of the house by myself J was about 8-10 weeks old and I was feeling so confident, I went to get a pedicure... and the older lady sitting next to me asked me when I was due. I wanted to die. She felt HORRID after I said I had just delivered. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-done-eating#post-1555263 Tue, 08 Apr 2014 21:54:01 +0000 Mrs. Tiger 1555263@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ughh.. I've been there. "How far along are you?" "Um, my baby is 4 months old." Barf. I hope she felt terrible. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-done-eating#post-1555094 Tue, 08 Apr 2014 19:53:20 +0000 Sofiel 1555094@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ugh, I've been there, it sucks! People just shouldn't ask if they're not 100% sure </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-done-eating#post-1555082 Tue, 08 Apr 2014 19:44:26 +0000 Ash 1555082@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>*hugs*<br /> Old ladies don't have a filter.

Treat yourself to some awesome new clothes and ignore the lady! It was nice of your mom to try and diffuse the situation. ((((Hugs))))) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-done-eating#post-1554915 Tue, 08 Apr 2014 18:12:18 +0000 autumnlove 1554915@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>:-( Sucks! &lt;3</p> <p>Something similar happened to me last week when I was asking a grocery store employee for help finding something. "Is that one of your pregnancy cravings?" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-done-eating#post-1554886 Tue, 08 Apr 2014 17:51:35 +0000 Greentea 1554886@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Omg! If it makes you feel any better I totally look half pregnant (5-6 mos. pregnant) and on top of that one time this guy I had a crush on (before dh) asked me when.I.had.my.baby :meh: "weren't you pregnant at the beginning of the semester?" (Loong before I married and had lo.) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-done-eating#post-1554883 Tue, 08 Apr 2014 17:50:22 +0000 HLK208 1554883@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Uggggh. I HATE that question...I was asked 5 months pp while wearing a fitted t-shirt. It stung. I'm so sorry :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-done-eating#post-1554872 Tue, 08 Apr 2014 17:39:15 +0000 blackbird 1554872@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I definitely think it was because of the maternity shirt!!! Time to treat yourself to new clothes!!! </p> <p>Sorry, but old ladies just say whatever they think! Not cool. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-done-eating#post-1554816 Tue, 08 Apr 2014 16:50:06 +0000 Mommy Finger 1554816@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah, that happened to me while I was celebrating St. Patrick's Day on a trolley that my friends always rent each year. Someone told me I had a cute baby bump. Mind you I was drinking a beer and had just had a jello shot. What? I guess my coat sort of has an empire waist but really???? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-done-eating#post-1554815 Tue, 08 Apr 2014 16:47:49 +0000 LAZB 1554815@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was just complaining about this today! I have been asked three times lately, and it's driving me crazy! Given, I just had a baby 12 weeks ago, so I do have some extra weight around the middle, I don't think it's nearly big enough to be at the stage where people would ask me about it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-done-eating#post-1554787 Tue, 08 Apr 2014 16:35:16 +0000 Smurfette 1554787@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hugs!</p> <p>Old people think they can say anything </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-done-eating#post-1554777 Tue, 08 Apr 2014 16:30:19 +0000 coopsmama 1554777@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I haaaate that. It definitely itself has happened to me so don't feel bad! I bet she wanted to crawl in a hole and die -- and hopefully she learned never to ask that question again! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-done-eating#post-1554752 Tue, 08 Apr 2014 16:17:15 +0000 Mrs. Pen 1554752@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>ugh that's the worst!!! I had someone ask that once before I had ever even had a kid and I was definitely not overweight at all - my coworker heard it and she was livid for me! ugh. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-done-eating#post-1554746 Tue, 08 Apr 2014 16:14:22 +0000 googly-eyes 1554746@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Don't read too much into it (easier said than done I know!) Mat clothes tend to round out the tummy IMO. People start wearing them when it's a bloat bump. It's honesty hard o tell between bloat and bump until way later.. So although I don't say anything if someone looks even a little round and is wearing what appears to be a mat shirt I think theyre probably pregnant. One day I look 100% not pregnant and then the next I eat a big meal and look like my six or seven months pregnant self. Don't be harsh on yourself! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-done-eating#post-1554739 Tue, 08 Apr 2014 16:11:11 +0000 snowjewelz 1554739@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I thought people know the golden rule - DO NOT ASK! EVER! Even if it's super obviously that they're pregnant! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-done-eating#post-1554730 Tue, 08 Apr 2014 16:08:42 +0000 matador84 1554730@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was at a wedding when I was 8 freaking months pp and a friends mom said she had no idea, I said no idea about what, and of course she thought I was pregnant. Ugh! Like really??? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-done-eating#post-1554695 Tue, 08 Apr 2014 15:57:20 +0000 swurlygurl 1554695@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@snowjewelz: Same. People started asking me if I was pregnant again. Well, I WAS, but I was only like 10 weeks, and my clothes all fit the same. So, that was just awkward in my head because I was at least able to say yes... haha</p> <p>But that totally sucks!! I learned at an EARLY age to never ask anyone that question. If I suspect I try to engage in conversation/ask other questions that would allow the possible mom-to-be to tell me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-done-eating#post-1554668 Tue, 08 Apr 2014 15:46:46 +0000 avivoca 1554668@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So, so awkward. For the record, you are totally gorgeous.</p> <p>ETA: This happened to me a few weeks ago too. When will people learn? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-done-eating#post-1554664 Tue, 08 Apr 2014 15:44:45 +0000 MamaMoose 1554664@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh no! I'm quite sure it was the fact that you were wearing a maternity shirt and not that you are fat!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-done-eating#post-1554662 Tue, 08 Apr 2014 15:44:25 +0000 snowjewelz 1554662@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am currently there. Granted, I actually am pregnant, but it's way too early to blame my weight gain on the baby! </p> <p>I've basically gained a good 15lbs since I got married last year. So now EVERYONE assumes I'm pregnant cause I got fatter! And now that I'm expecting, I can't even loose the weight before I gain even more! </p>
