For the record, I'm all belly and haven't grown anywhere else, and it's a girl. Old wives tales are...um...just old wives tales. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weirdest-pregnancy-comment-so-far#post-429582 Mon, 03 Dec 2012 14:41:18 +0000 birdofafeather 429582@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>what the heck?! why would anyone say that?!</p> <p>this weekend at a wedding i was photographing, i had one older lady tell me that i looked like i was going to pop and then her friend right next to her say, oh, you're so small! (i'm 34 weeks and definitely not about to pop)</p> <p>people just need to shush! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weirdest-pregnancy-comment-so-far#post-429331 Mon, 03 Dec 2012 12:57:19 +0000 mizjl 429331@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Arden: I'm sorry but that's just f*cking rude. I would've let my mouth hang open for a while out of shock and just walked away. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weirdest-pregnancy-comment-so-far#post-429203 Mon, 03 Dec 2012 12:13:06 +0000 .twist. 429203@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Arden: :o I am in shock... wow. for real? wow.

You're too tiny to give birth, you should just have a c-section. Seriously, it will look like Texas Chainsaw Massacre."</p> <p>Oh. My. God. What is wrong with people?!</p> <p>(By the way, I'm 5'4" and 115 pounds pre-pregnancy with plenty of hips, so I'm small, but not tiny) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weirdest-pregnancy-comment-so-far#post-429172 Mon, 03 Dec 2012 11:58:45 +0000 mizjl 429172@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ladyfingers: Seriously, why people think it's okay to say things like that is beyond me! I'm not quite showing yet because I'm just shy of eight weeks but but I'm definitely not looking forward to random people expressing their unsolicited opinions. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weirdest-pregnancy-comment-so-far#post-428954 Mon, 03 Dec 2012 10:10:48 +0000 ladyfingers 428954@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ew, gross!</p> <p>I walked into a party this weekend and a older woman I know proclaimed from behind me, "You can't tell you're pregnant at ALL from behind! Are you sure you're having a boy? Usually with boys you're big all around, not just in front."</p> <p>And I was like, A. you're wrong, it's the other way around and B. yeah if we're having a girl, she's gonna have a penis.</p> <p>When I told her she had it backwards, that you're big out front for a boy and big all around for a girl, she was like, are you sure??? So I said, (not so patiently), "Yes. I've heard it enough times throughout my pregnancy, so I'm pretty sure." and then walked away. I'm just sick of people commenting on my body! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weirdest-pregnancy-comment-so-far#post-428928 Mon, 03 Dec 2012 10:01:26 +0000 irene 428928@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>HAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA OMG thanks for the laugh</p> <p>A friend of mine already has 2 boys and was pregnant with the 3rd. A woman chatted up with her and was like, is this planned (ie her pregnancy)? My friend said yes, and that woman was like Congratulations then. hahahah </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weirdest-pregnancy-comment-so-far#post-428907 Mon, 03 Dec 2012 09:48:11 +0000 Sugar.Biscuit 428907@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've been told that if a woman keeps her waist that she is having a girl. But for a complete stranger to ask that would be unfomfortable for me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weirdest-pregnancy-comment-so-far#post-428823 Mon, 03 Dec 2012 08:36:00 +0000 ValentineMommy 428823@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>hahahhah! Crazy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weirdest-pregnancy-comment-so-far#post-428143 Sun, 02 Dec 2012 16:03:25 +0000 Andrea 428143@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>hahaha, funny!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weirdest-pregnancy-comment-so-far#post-428138 Sun, 02 Dec 2012 15:56:40 +0000 sea_bass 428138@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LazyLightning: Oh I find its ALWAYS people who have kids. It really gets me, as when they announced they were expecting we were nothing but thrilled &amp; excited for them. </p> <p>I can't imagine their reaction if we had told them they were ruining their lives. Apparently once you have kids you have earned the right to rain on everyone parade.. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weirdest-pregnancy-comment-so-far#post-427173 Sat, 01 Dec 2012 19:14:36 +0000 LazyLightning 427173@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sea_bass: Ugh, we get the 'you are ruining your life' comments from people too. What's amazing is how many people who HAVE children tell us that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weirdest-pregnancy-comment-so-far#post-427091 Sat, 01 Dec 2012 17:33:33 +0000 sea_bass 427091@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: oh wow. We haven't told people we are expecting yet.. </p> <p>However a friend of ours was going on and on that if she was pregnant again she would kill herself and got really graphical about how she would throw herself under a bus. </p> <p>I know they are planning on a another child so I was really shocked. I am kind of dreading telling them as they have already told me and my DH that they think we should wait as kids ruin your life. Erm, thanks. We know its going to be really tough but never having kids was never an option for us... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weirdest-pregnancy-comment-so-far#post-426867 Sat, 01 Dec 2012 13:01:35 +0000 SAHM0811 426867@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>weird on so many levels! I'm curious as to what you'll have now too, but if you do have a boy, I think it would be totally coincidental. </p> <p>Every time someone told me their "gender theory" I'd just think, "yeah, my baby's genitals are totally based on whether or not... (insert random event/onservation/opinion here)" ... mhmm. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weirdest-pregnancy-comment-so-far#post-426842 Sat, 01 Dec 2012 12:36:16 +0000 autumnlove 426842@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That is awkward!</p> <p>I think the weirdest was from another parent at daycare. She overheard LO's teacher asking me about my pregnancy so she congratulated me but told me she would kill herself if she was in my position. She went on and on about how horrible things will be for me with two young LOs! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weirdest-pregnancy-comment-so-far#post-426815 Sat, 01 Dec 2012 12:17:33 +0000 Bao 426815@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm interested to see if you really have a boy now ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weirdest-pregnancy-comment-so-far#post-426812 Sat, 01 Dec 2012 12:15:24 +0000 Mrs. Pen 426812@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>bahahaha omg I totally laughed out loud. that is so funny. and awkward!!</p> <p>totally a generational thing though because I had an elderly lady come up to me at church when I was about 35 ish weeks and said I was having a boy because I was shaped like a football. I was shocked because I knew I was having a boy, she said it's a girl if you're shaped like a beach ball. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weirdest-pregnancy-comment-so-far#post-426800 Sat, 01 Dec 2012 12:05:29 +0000 boiledpnut 426800@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh wow. What every woman wants...to be compared to a freaking horse! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weirdest-pregnancy-comment-so-far#post-426798 Sat, 01 Dec 2012 12:03:23 +0000 jedeve 426798@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So last night I went to the pool to work out with DH. All the lanes were full, so we went to the hot tub. I just stuck my feet in. There was an older couple sitting there. The man asked me what I was having. I said we hadn't found out. He said:</p> <p>"Stand up and turn around. I'll tell you what it is."</p> <p>Um...no. I'm 34 weeks, it's tough enough to stand up that I'm not going to waste it on this! Especially since I am in a bathing suit and dripping wet, I don't want some staring at my backside either!</p> <p>After another minute of awkward conversation, I left. Apparently as I was walking away, he and his wife told my husband I was having a boy, because my hips hadn't spread apart like HORSES' do when having phillies. </p>
