Even when I was huge towards the end, anytime I needed to squeeze past a co-worker I would say excuse me and they would move over a bit as if it was regular size me needing past. I would often have to add, "Excuse me AND the baby bump" before they left enough room for me to actually go around them. (Retail, so there isn't really room for two people to pass by side by side if we're behind the counter to use the computers or pull a customer's file.) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-latest-comment-you-heard#post-2146564 Thu, 16 Apr 2015 17:46:27 +0000 simplyfelicity 2146564@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ms.badger: Haha! Are they afraid it's contagious? You are getting so close! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-latest-comment-you-heard#post-2145506 Wed, 15 Apr 2015 20:25:41 +0000 Bluemasonjar 2145506@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My favorite comment so far came from a co-worker today. I walked up next to him and he looked over and said "you are gestating nicely." It was hilarious to me, especially given his personality. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-latest-comment-you-heard#post-2145488 Wed, 15 Apr 2015 20:05:26 +0000 Corduroy 2145488@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For the past two weeks I've been getting "Your belly is finally here!" and "I see it now!". I'm 31 weeks and a month from starting maternity leave. I feel like people are finally starting to believe I'm really pregnant. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-latest-comment-you-heard#post-2145258 Wed, 15 Apr 2015 16:27:26 +0000 Ms.Badger 2145258@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For the last week (37 wks), when someone is walking the opposite direction in a hallway at work they will step to the side to let me pass - like I'm so huge there's no way the two of use could pass side by side. It's so crazy, like a dozen different people and all this week. I really don't think I"m any bigger than last week! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-latest-comment-you-heard#post-2145255 Wed, 15 Apr 2015 16:22:43 +0000 lilteacherbee 2145255@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Does one from my 5 year old student count? He asked me today, "Did your husband put the baby seed in your belly?!" Oh, and my husband also works at my school ha. </p> <p>They also tell me I'm getting huge all the time, but they're cute about it so it doesn't bother me :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-latest-comment-you-heard#post-2145253 Wed, 15 Apr 2015 16:19:51 +0000 lilteacherbee 2145253@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrscobee: I've heard this too and it always makes me laugh because DH is still super close to his parents (and only tolerates mine lol).</p> <p>@2PeasinaPod: Yep, get this a lot. I'm actually thrilled to be having 2 boys, so it gets on my nerves! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-latest-comment-you-heard#post-2145244 Wed, 15 Apr 2015 16:04:30 +0000 2PeasinaPod 2145244@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrscobee: What in the world??</p> <p>I told someone today that we were having our second boy, and her reaction was, "Oooooooh nooooooooooo! I'm sorry!" </p> <p> :meh: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-latest-comment-you-heard#post-2145207 Wed, 15 Apr 2015 15:29:24 +0000 mrscobee 2145207@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just heard another fun one. Told my coworker I was having a boy, and she proceeded to point out that when boys grow up and get married they are always closer to the wife's family, so when he grows up I should be prepared to never see him or talk to him, so I better hope I have a girl in the future. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-latest-comment-you-heard#post-2144771 Wed, 15 Apr 2015 10:39:39 +0000 Mommy Finger 2144771@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a pedicure done and when I was checking out the lady at the front asked me how long and when I said 3 months, she told me that I was going to have a HUGE baby and am I sure that there aren't 2 in there. WTF? I'm trying to give her the benefit of the doubt and maybe she asked me how far along I was and heard that I was only 3 months. Either way, no way in hell I'm going back there. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-latest-comment-you-heard#post-2144421 Wed, 15 Apr 2015 07:03:35 +0000 Anagram 2144421@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a security guard at the store ask, "any day now?", and I was like......um...if "any day now" is 4 months from now, but thanks. :bummed: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-latest-comment-you-heard#post-2144420 Wed, 15 Apr 2015 07:01:24 +0000 MamaB 2144420@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I saw my neighbor last week, and she said, "Oh my gosh! You're HUGE! Any day now, right??" I just smiled and told her that I have TWO MONTHS left. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-latest-comment-you-heard#post-2144361 Wed, 15 Apr 2015 03:27:30 +0000 TheSwissWifeStyle 2144361@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Coral: Lol! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-latest-comment-you-heard#post-2144360 Wed, 15 Apr 2015 03:24:22 +0000 Mrs. Coral 2144360@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs.Pinecone316: oh I'm sorry!! Those texts made hormonal mama livid...especially when I was past my due date.</p> <p> @Mrs. Oatmeal: That cashier. Wow.</p> <p>@Rainbow Sprinkles: Wow, rude! That's not even funny! What a trip!</p> <p>@Boopers: What???!!! Hello, at a peds office they should be trained to keep their yappers shut, with all the brand new babies coming in. WTH</p> <p>@TheSwissWifeStyle: You should have told your MIL: "no sweets, but I think I'm going to switch to *light* beer." </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-latest-comment-you-heard#post-2144357 Wed, 15 Apr 2015 02:56:44 +0000 TheSwissWifeStyle 2144357@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nothing specific, but we go over my ILs house once a week for dinner, and every week they're like, "Wow...you're even bigger than last week!" Um, isn't that the point? </p> <p>Last week MIL said "Are you eating a lot of sweets?" :meh: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-latest-comment-you-heard#post-2144288 Tue, 14 Apr 2015 22:31:24 +0000 Boopers 2144288@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This was 3 days postpartum but it still annoyed me. I was at my first pediatrician appt for LO. I had to go back up to the front to turn in paperwork while my husband was back in the exam room with LO. This was with a lady who works at the office.</p> <p>Her: when are you due?<br /> Me: I had him 3 days ago<br /> Her: well look at all of you!<br /> Me: ...<br /> Her: I guess that's why you'd be here then isn't it<br /> Me: ...</p> <p> :meh: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-latest-comment-you-heard#post-2144277 Tue, 14 Apr 2015 22:04:27 +0000 Mrs. J 2144277@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You don't even look pregnant! Oh really? I'm pretty sure I don't normally look like this... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-latest-comment-you-heard#post-2144240 Tue, 14 Apr 2015 21:27:24 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 2144240@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm 16.5 weeks pregnant. Yesterday, my SIL (who just had a baby herself 6 months ago) said to me: "Wow, by the looks of you, baby girl will be here any day now!"</p> <p>Seriously? She knows I'm due in September. And my bump isn't even huge! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-latest-comment-you-heard#post-2144226 Tue, 14 Apr 2015 21:18:47 +0000 simplyfelicity 2144226@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>"You look great for being pregnant." What does that even mean? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-latest-comment-you-heard#post-2144204 Tue, 14 Apr 2015 20:54:10 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 2144204@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>From a patient at work.<br /> "You see, I thought you were pregnant, but I didn't want to say anything because you look like you might just be fat."<br /> Thank you for not saying anything??</p> <p>The sweet Korean lady who runs the cafe across from my work.<br /> "Baby in there?"<br /> Yes.<br /> "Oooh, due soon?"<br /> No, September.<br /> "Wow. You really big."<br /> If she weren't so lovely Id have been offended.</p> <p>And finally- while buying candy at the pharmacy in my office building, the cashier says "You mean to tell me the BABY wants all of that junk?" Shut up, yes! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-latest-comment-you-heard#post-2144008 Tue, 14 Apr 2015 18:22:14 +0000 Mrs.Pinecone316 2144008@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am due tomorrow so I've had about 20 texts today with.. "How are you feeling?" "Any baby yet?" " Any changes?" "When is baby coming?" </p> <p>This has been a daily thing this week. I tried not responding to all the texts yesterday because I was just so over it but then everyone that didn't hear back from me thought I was in labor! I know everyone is just excited and cares but I am getting tired of having to respond to the same thing over and over. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-latest-comment-you-heard#post-2143423 Tue, 14 Apr 2015 11:39:22 +0000 dolphin 2143423@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsjyw: I've been getting that a lot too. I'm definitely much bigger with this pregnancy than with my first! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-latest-comment-you-heard#post-2143387 Tue, 14 Apr 2015 11:20:50 +0000 pandapop 2143387@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This morning I heard "whoa, you have boobs" it was from one of my best friends so she gets a pass, haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-latest-comment-you-heard#post-2143364 Tue, 14 Apr 2015 11:06:04 +0000 LAZB 2143364@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When I was pregnant, both times, people would say "wow! There's no way you're making it to your due date!" And they were right, but not because I was so huge, just because my babies come early. And I wasn't measuring super big either :/ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-latest-comment-you-heard#post-2143360 Tue, 14 Apr 2015 10:58:41 +0000 littlejoy 2143360@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrscobee: LOL!!

Haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-latest-comment-you-heard#post-2143357 Tue, 14 Apr 2015 10:57:55 +0000 littlejoy 2143357@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm not pregnant, but when I was, my favorite came from my husband ... "You know when you see a super pregnant woman at the store, and think 'Who let her out!?! She's going to give birth here!', that's what you look like!" - in all fairness, I was 39 weeks pregnant. I thought it was funny. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-latest-comment-you-heard#post-2143321 Tue, 14 Apr 2015 10:35:32 +0000 kick641 2143321@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: Omg I get "wow"s too, and no one ever explains them. Wow I look good? Wow, I don't recognize your fat face? I don't know! I try to take them as compliments. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-latest-comment-you-heard#post-2143262 Tue, 14 Apr 2015 09:57:09 +0000 blackbird 2143262@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>heh, lots. Our director commented that i was moving slower yesterday. Which is true. Last week (week before?) someone in the office "predicted" i would have a "big baby". I'm 9 months, so the comments are EVERYWHERE. I also got a "wowwwwww" when someone asked when I was due. Wasn't sure if that was a good wow or "shit you're huge" wow, lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-latest-comment-you-heard#post-2143255 Tue, 14 Apr 2015 09:50:02 +0000 LindsayInNY 2143255@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I took a barre class last night with a different teacher subbing. We were sitting on the floor doing leg or ab work, can't remember which, and she said something like "Wow, I can see that baby!" I'm 29 weeks. Let's hope you're not seeing any baby yet! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-latest-comment-you-heard#post-2143246 Tue, 14 Apr 2015 09:41:26 +0000 littlebittyhouse 2143246@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>'Were you this big with your first" ha ha YUP and I am measuring exactly for my due date so there is that! </p>
