I've definitely found that anytime I wear maternity clothes, I look way more 'pregnant' than in my regular clothes. Still isn't a great thing to hear tho, I'm sorry! It's happened to me multiple times, silly people don't think before they speak! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-just-going-to-hide-under-a-rock#post-1565485 Sun, 13 Apr 2014 07:50:54 +0000 daniellemybelle 1565485@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm so sorry! I have seen pics of you on IG &amp; you look fantastic. This woman is clearly crazy.</p> <p>If it makes you feel better, this happened to me at a BABY STORE. They of all people should know better! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-just-going-to-hide-under-a-rock#post-1565303 Sat, 12 Apr 2014 21:57:16 +0000 cascademom 1565303@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hugs, that's just mean! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-just-going-to-hide-under-a-rock#post-1565296 Sat, 12 Apr 2014 21:51:32 +0000 singingbee 1565296@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm so sorry!!!!!

Rather be sitting than standing, even if it's bc people think I'm still pregnant! :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-just-going-to-hide-under-a-rock#post-1565195 Sat, 12 Apr 2014 20:23:57 +0000 HLK208 1565195@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Uggggh.

I'm sorry :( don't let it get to you though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-just-going-to-hide-under-a-rock#post-1565130 Sat, 12 Apr 2014 19:40:34 +0000 chopsuey 1565130@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>omg. people are so crazy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-just-going-to-hide-under-a-rock#post-1565128 Sat, 12 Apr 2014 19:39:09 +0000 Foodnerd81 1565128@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rockies11: I had C in the stroller when she was 13 days old and someone congratulated me on my beautiful family and "another one on the way!" I just had to laugh at that point because it's biologically impossible to be pregnant with a 13 DAY old. </p> <p>@Madison43: Yeah.... I'd just say thank you and take the darn seat!</p> <p>@avivoca: I have been asked an unfortunate number of times when I was due or if I was pregnant... long before I was ever pregnant, or even married. I just carry my weight in my belly. I weigh less than I did before I got pregnant but I still have a little tummy. Because I made a baby in it, and yeah, now I don't feel like spending my time doing crunches. Deal with it, peanut gallery. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-just-going-to-hide-under-a-rock#post-1565118 Sat, 12 Apr 2014 19:33:49 +0000 blackbird 1565118@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>drink some wine and hide the maternity clothes!!! :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-just-going-to-hide-under-a-rock#post-1565060 Sat, 12 Apr 2014 18:53:00 +0000 Smurfette 1565060@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>People suck!

I hadn't seen him in a while, and I ran into him at the supermarket, and he was like, "aww...look at you looking all cute and pregnant!!" And I'm like, "uhh...Johnny's 8 weeks old, but thanks!!" Awwwwkward! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-just-going-to-hide-under-a-rock#post-1565012 Sat, 12 Apr 2014 17:31:35 +0000 Mrs. J 1565012@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>People are idiots. I think you look great! Rock that suit with confidence, lady. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-just-going-to-hide-under-a-rock#post-1565011 Sat, 12 Apr 2014 17:31:34 +0000 Madison43 1565011@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'll commiserate. My LO is 6 months old also and twice last week people offered me their seat on the subway....wtf. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-just-going-to-hide-under-a-rock#post-1565003 Sat, 12 Apr 2014 17:23:21 +0000 Rockies11 1565003@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@avivoca: sympathy. This isn't as bad, but when I went out for my first postpartum "me" time, I was getting a pedi and I came in with the stroller with a 4 week old baby in it, and then when I sat down to get the pedi they were like "how far along are you?". Wtf. People need to never ask that question. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-just-going-to-hide-under-a-rock#post-1564982 Sat, 12 Apr 2014 17:02:36 +0000 Anagram 1564982@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@avivoca: someone asked me once before I was ever pregnant and is been working out hard core for a few months! </p> <p>People are stupid. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-just-going-to-hide-under-a-rock#post-1564976 Sat, 12 Apr 2014 16:54:05 +0000 wonderstruck 1564976@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ugh, I freaking hate people - don't even worry about it (though I know that's hard.) There are people who will ask people how far along they are when there is zero reason to think they're pregnant, especially if you're wearing looser clothing. I had a super cute flowy shirt I stopped wearing to work because customers would ALWAYS assume I was pregnant. My co-workers were all guys and were baffled by it. I remember a couple of them saying, "Yeah, it's flowy, but barely, and it goes straight down...there's no bump where your stomach is!" Yet I would be asked this like 3 times a day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-just-going-to-hide-under-a-rock#post-1564971 Sat, 12 Apr 2014 16:41:47 +0000 avivoca 1564971@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I stopped at the gas station to get a pop for myself and my husband, and the cashier asked me how far along I was. </p> <p>I'm six months postpartum. </p> <p>When I told her that, she got an "Oh crap" look on her face and started asking about the baby, but sheesh. You NEVER ask a woman how far along she is unless that baby is actively exiting because you never know. I actually felt pretty good about things until then. I'm ten pounds from pre-pregnant weight, but I have a maternity skirt on since it was quick and easy. Oh, and I had just consumed a few Reese's. </p> <p>Please pass the wine and tissues. This was not what I needed to hear a week before vacation where I need to wear a bathing suit. </p>
