I never thought of it that way. Such vocal pessimists! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/like-a-drinking-gamebut-for-pregnant-women#post-244883 Thu, 02 Aug 2012 12:17:43 +0000 dagret 244883@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was letting all the negative comments about kids start to get to me until I realized these were the same people who were going on and on about how marriage was the end of all of my &amp; DH's good times. Some people just suck. Period. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/like-a-drinking-gamebut-for-pregnant-women#post-244744 Thu, 02 Aug 2012 11:19:12 +0000 pastemoo 244744@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@eeh: YES! Hahahahahah!</p> <p>@MsLipGloss: I hate "just you wait!" Just you wait until he is a teenager and backtalking. Um? Really? I can't wait till he can roll over--yes I know I'll have to baby proof things more. I can't wait till I can have an intelligent conversation with him. I can't wait until he gets married and has kids. Why do people always tell you about all the crap (Just you wait until you have to change a solid foods diaper) and not about the joy (He finally peed in the toilet on his own because he wanted to "shoot the cheerios" that we put in there). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/like-a-drinking-gamebut-for-pregnant-women#post-244696 Thu, 02 Aug 2012 10:58:03 +0000 MsLipGloss 244696@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am 35 weeks (today - yay!) In the past 2 days I have heard:<br /> "Just you wait . . . "<br /> "You have no idea . . . "<br /> "You're small/ have grown so much/ still carrying high/ look like you've dropped/ look super pregnant today . . . "<br /> "I bet you will go 2 weeks past your due date"</p> <p>Sooooooo maddening! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/like-a-drinking-gamebut-for-pregnant-women#post-244689 Thu, 02 Aug 2012 10:55:45 +0000 LuLu Mom 244689@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm laughing because I have heard all these phrases but yet to have one said to me at 31 weeks. I have heard, "wow you are so much bigger than so &amp; so" yes thank you, I apprecaite being compared to the size 0 friend who has the perfect "belly" bump and calls a size 2 jean "her maternity" pants! sigh I have curves (and even more so now that I'm pregnant, nothing I can do about it!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/like-a-drinking-gamebut-for-pregnant-women#post-244587 Thu, 02 Aug 2012 10:23:38 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 244587@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@eeh: I think that's a great idea!! Oh, and add "You haven't had it yet??" to that list ;-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/like-a-drinking-gamebut-for-pregnant-women#post-244562 Thu, 02 Aug 2012 10:14:37 +0000 eeh 244562@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The comments don't generally bug me because I know people are trying to be polite and make conversation..except for the "you look miserable one". That just makes me feel like crap. It's just the abundance of comments I get now that I'm so far along! My husband was with me at Target the other day and got to experience these comments for the first time. I told him my strategy is typically to avoid eye contact. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/like-a-drinking-gamebut-for-pregnant-women#post-244504 Thu, 02 Aug 2012 09:40:19 +0000 MrsSPB 244504@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I want to strangle every person who asks me if I'm sure I'm not having twins. I like the guilt free cookie rule. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/like-a-drinking-gamebut-for-pregnant-women#post-244501 Thu, 02 Aug 2012 09:39:09 +0000 mamimami 244501@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Don't forget "any day now, right?" (I'm 28 weeks!!!) or "Are you sure you're not having twins?" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/like-a-drinking-gamebut-for-pregnant-women#post-244476 Thu, 02 Aug 2012 09:11:59 +0000 eeh 244476@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm 39 weeks and generally feel pretty good overall. I would say the first/early second trimester time was much, much worse. Sure, I feel a little on the huge side and my back hurts if I walk too much but overall, feeling pretty good. </p> <p>Until I go into public that is...everywhere I go I get "bless your heart", "you poor thing", or my favorite: "you look miserable". I've decided there should be a drinking game type system for pregnant women where anytime we get one of those comments, you get a guilt free cookie. :) </p>
