Haha. We started trying and were pregnant in lessbthan a month so people were excited. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-first-thing-people-said-to-you#post-35045 Thu, 15 Dec 2011 23:51:34 +0000 lemondrop 35045@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Finally! </p> <p>We've been together for a long time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-first-thing-people-said-to-you#post-34898 Thu, 15 Dec 2011 17:46:56 +0000 SAHM0811 34898@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The usual, "When are you due?" and "Is it a boy or a girl?" questions were fine... I got a few "Was this planned?" and "Were you trying?" comments too... Those were annoying. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-first-thing-people-said-to-you#post-34893 Thu, 15 Dec 2011 17:41:16 +0000 Boogs 34893@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>"When are you due?" and "How are you feeling?" were the most popular questions. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-first-thing-people-said-to-you#post-34892 Thu, 15 Dec 2011 17:35:15 +0000 HabesBabe 34892@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mostly questions about the sex and "Are you excited?" which is a really weird question. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-first-thing-people-said-to-you#post-34889 Thu, 15 Dec 2011 17:31:29 +0000 cyndistar3 34889@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Either "wow that was fast" since we just got married in September or do you know what you are having yet? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-first-thing-people-said-to-you#post-34874 Thu, 15 Dec 2011 17:05:09 +0000 MegWag 34874@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If they were British "Are you going to go back to the US to have the baby?" Uh no. We live here. Also, we couldn't afford to have a baby in the US. I think they forget and take the NHS for granted! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-first-thing-people-said-to-you#post-34821 Thu, 15 Dec 2011 15:52:04 +0000 mrstilly 34821@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I work in a small, close-knit group at work. I told my work supervisor and program manager at the same time and asked to speak with them together. They both gave a sigh of relief that I wasn't quitting, then (nicely) commented about me not taking too long of a maternity leave. </p> <p>Everyone else asked about when I was due and if we were going to find out the gender. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-first-thing-people-said-to-you#post-34820 Thu, 15 Dec 2011 15:49:37 +0000 twinmama 34820@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Most people we've been able to tell that I'm pg, and it's twins, at the same time, so usually it's been a little roller coaster that goes something like "oh congrats!.....wow, holy crap.....goooood luck" and then my husband begs for their hand me downs :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-first-thing-people-said-to-you#post-34818 Thu, 15 Dec 2011 15:43:12 +0000 mamabolt 34818@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>my MIL said "don't pick a stupid name!" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-first-thing-people-said-to-you#post-34816 Thu, 15 Dec 2011 15:39:28 +0000 winniebee 34816@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lots of "when are you due," "how do you feel" and then "are you finding out the gender??" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-first-thing-people-said-to-you#post-34813 Thu, 15 Dec 2011 15:37:59 +0000 chopsuey 34813@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When are you due &amp; how far along are you.. do you want a boy or a girl.

And of course I was way too early to know. I found it really weird when dad's asked me this. They should know you can't find out yet! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-first-thing-people-said-to-you#post-34805 Thu, 15 Dec 2011 15:29:38 +0000 duckduckkristen 34805@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A lot of people asked "are you excited?" and of course everybody asks "do you know/will you find out the sex?" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-first-thing-people-said-to-you#post-34803 Thu, 15 Dec 2011 15:27:26 +0000 LAGS 34803@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I get a lot of "when are you due?" and "How are you feeling?" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-first-thing-people-said-to-you#post-34799 Thu, 15 Dec 2011 15:15:53 +0000 yoursilverlining 34799@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Most people asked how far along I was or asked if we knew the sex. My MIL said “you guys have to buy a bigger house because I have a lot of stuff to buy for this baby!” ;-)</p> <p>So far, everyone has been *really* excited, which has been nice!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-first-thing-people-said-to-you#post-34797 Thu, 15 Dec 2011 15:13:06 +0000 mediagirl 34797@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When you told friends, co-workers and acquaintances that you were expecting, what was the first thing (beyond congratulations) that people said to you?</p> <p>For me it has been, without fail, "Are you going to find out the sex?" </p>
