She said I was going to find out anyways, and she thought it should come from her. It never made the news and I would have been none the wiser if she had kept her mouth shut. To top it off, she was a retired pediatrician (or so she says, not sure about that now)!! </p> <p>Again, sorry if this offends anyone. I'm not even sure she was telling the truth. By far the most inappropriate thing someone has said to me while pregnant! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-most-inappropriate-thing-someone-said-to-you-during-pregnancy#post-370786 Wed, 31 Oct 2012 19:37:11 +0000 shinystraps 370786@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cokiezombie: That's really not ok. I've had some comments like that, and there is just no space for that type of thing in the workplace! Sorry :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-most-inappropriate-thing-someone-said-to-you-during-pregnancy#post-370737 Wed, 31 Oct 2012 19:11:54 +0000 yellowbird 370737@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>An old man outside a restaurant came up to me and said he didn't think my weight watchers diet was working. What!?!?</p> <p>Hubs and I were both speechless. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-most-inappropriate-thing-someone-said-to-you-during-pregnancy#post-370679 Wed, 31 Oct 2012 18:39:51 +0000 cokiezombie 370679@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jump Rope: Nice comeback! I will keep that in mind next time Ms. Inappropriate Colleague says something, but just yesterday she said, "Oh wow your belly got really big really fast". </p> <p>Seriously why do people say that? It doesn't make me feel any better that my body is changing and I have no control over how big my boobs/belly gets. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-most-inappropriate-thing-someone-said-to-you-during-pregnancy#post-370659 Wed, 31 Oct 2012 18:29:33 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 370659@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My MIL liked to tell me every time she saw me "how huge!!!!" I was. Finally, I responded, "OMG. You too!" and she stopped.</p> <p>I was maybe 34 weeks along when I was in a grocery store. A store worker stopped me and said, "Honey, you better get yourself to the hospital! We ain't equipped to deliver baby's in here!"</p> <p>So, I guess I was kind of big HAHA </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-most-inappropriate-thing-someone-said-to-you-during-pregnancy#post-370571 Wed, 31 Oct 2012 17:21:20 +0000 cokiezombie 370571@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rainbow Sprinkles: So gross!! Those are one of the comments that you'll probably look back on and laugh because it's so weird and out there! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-most-inappropriate-thing-someone-said-to-you-during-pregnancy#post-370566 Wed, 31 Oct 2012 17:20:19 +0000 cokiezombie 370566@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MUI831: omg that is just so wrong, coming from anybody, period. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-most-inappropriate-thing-someone-said-to-you-during-pregnancy#post-370565 Wed, 31 Oct 2012 17:20:13 +0000 lovehoneybee 370565@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rainbow Sprinkles: EWWW! Creepy!</p> <p>I was lucky--I think the worst I got was DH's grandmother telling me that all the extra weight looked good on me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-most-inappropriate-thing-someone-said-to-you-during-pregnancy#post-370561 Wed, 31 Oct 2012 17:17:07 +0000 MamaMoose 370561@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rainbow Sprinkles: WHAT?! Was he hoping you would respond with "oh really, I would love to be that stranger"?? So creepy.</p> <p>I really have been pretty lucky in the comments. I get comments about being small which annoys me but nothing really inappropriate is coming to mind. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-most-inappropriate-thing-someone-said-to-you-during-pregnancy#post-370555 Wed, 31 Oct 2012 17:13:14 +0000 HLK208 370555@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rainbow Sprinkles: EW I think that has to be the winner of most inappropriate things said to a pregnant person...bleh! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-most-inappropriate-thing-someone-said-to-you-during-pregnancy#post-370549 Wed, 31 Oct 2012 17:10:37 +0000 Mommy Finger 370549@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This actually didn't happen to me while I'm currently pregnant. However, 4 years ago, my SIL had my niece. My boss at the time turned to me and asked me if she "had it V" and made a V sign with his two fingers. It took me a bit of time to realize that he was asking if she had had her vaginally. This was just one of the very inappropriate and odd things he used to say. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-most-inappropriate-thing-someone-said-to-you-during-pregnancy#post-370423 Wed, 31 Oct 2012 15:49:54 +0000 cokiezombie 370423@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@shopaholic: I wouldn't have mind if she said it to me personally, but she said it in front of the entire office (VPs and execs included)..so that was NOT cool at all! :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-most-inappropriate-thing-someone-said-to-you-during-pregnancy#post-370282 Wed, 31 Oct 2012 15:05:20 +0000 birdofafeather 370282@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cokiezombie: wow, that's inappropriate!</p> <p>@Rainbow Sprinkles: gross!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-most-inappropriate-thing-someone-said-to-you-during-pregnancy#post-370086 Wed, 31 Oct 2012 14:18:35 +0000 jedeve 370086@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My mother in law likes to touch my stomach and say how tight and hard it is.

It was out of the blue and very rude. We don't really get along and she's usually a b*tch like that </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-most-inappropriate-thing-someone-said-to-you-during-pregnancy#post-370000 Wed, 31 Oct 2012 13:47:07 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 370000@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rainbow Sprinkles: yikes!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-most-inappropriate-thing-someone-said-to-you-during-pregnancy#post-369989 Wed, 31 Oct 2012 13:45:29 +0000 PrincessBaby 369989@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Shutterbug: An eye doctor! lol! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-most-inappropriate-thing-someone-said-to-you-during-pregnancy#post-369978 Wed, 31 Oct 2012 13:42:47 +0000 Smurfette 369978@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rainbow Sprinkles: OMG! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-most-inappropriate-thing-someone-said-to-you-during-pregnancy#post-369955 Wed, 31 Oct 2012 13:37:11 +0000 Shutterbug 369955@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PrincessBaby: haha at least he was a doctor and not like, the cashier at the grocery store! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-most-inappropriate-thing-someone-said-to-you-during-pregnancy#post-369910 Wed, 31 Oct 2012 13:25:28 +0000 PrincessBaby 369910@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cokiezombie: Weird!!! What are people thinking?</p> <p>@Rainbow Sprinkles: Omg. Definite barf!</p> <p>@Arden: People definitely think they're comedians! I have gotten this several times too lately - "Wow you need to lay off the beer!" YUK! YUK! YUK! What a bunch of cornballs!</p> <p>The weirdest thing that happened to me was when a male doctor (I'm in medical device sales, so he is a "customer" - haha, sounds like I'm a prostitute) asked me if I planned to breastfeed. Then proceeded to launch into loads of information about breastfeeding - he was all about it! I couldn't decide if he was being creepy about boobs or if he just really believed in it, but either way, I don't like talking about breastfeeding or anything boob-related with men other than my husband! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-most-inappropriate-thing-someone-said-to-you-during-pregnancy#post-369907 Wed, 31 Oct 2012 13:24:31 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 369907@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rainbow Sprinkles: are you serious?!!? ewwww that is seriously inappropriate. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-most-inappropriate-thing-someone-said-to-you-during-pregnancy#post-369902 Wed, 31 Oct 2012 13:21:56 +0000 Arden 369902@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rainbow Sprinkles: eeww. eeeww. ewwwwwww! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-most-inappropriate-thing-someone-said-to-you-during-pregnancy#post-369896 Wed, 31 Oct 2012 13:18:54 +0000 shopaholic 369896@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Arden: Oh wow! She MUST have known you were preggers and trying to be funny, because no one would downright tell someone they have a beer belly right? *cringe*<br /> @cokiezombie: :/ Are you guys close? I mean, that kind of comment would be totally normal with my group of girlfriends (co-workers included). It'd be weird if it was someone you're not close with though...<br /> @Rainbow Sprinkles: Ugh! Ewwww! Barf! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-most-inappropriate-thing-someone-said-to-you-during-pregnancy#post-369889 Wed, 31 Oct 2012 13:15:41 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 369889@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A stranger once told me that I looked "beautiful" and then told me he had a life-long fantasy of having sex with a hugely pregnant stranger.<br /> barf. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-most-inappropriate-thing-someone-said-to-you-during-pregnancy#post-369876 Wed, 31 Oct 2012 13:09:46 +0000 Arden 369876@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cokiezombie: I'm sorry! If it makes you feel any better, I had a total stranger comment on my body yesterday.<br /> I was wearing a regular tee, and when I lifted my arms to get something off the shelf, my belly completely popped out. This lady goes "Looks like you've got quite the beer belly there!" Excuse me... what? I'm obviously pregnant. Maybe she thought it was funny?<br /> Regardless... maternity shirts from now on. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-most-inappropriate-thing-someone-said-to-you-during-pregnancy#post-369871 Wed, 31 Oct 2012 13:08:21 +0000 cokiezombie 369871@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>UGHH I just need to vent you guys. I was at my office Halloween party and my female colleague, said to me, in front of everyone, "Oh wow! Your boobs got huge!". SO inappropriate.</p> <p>I am generally a very modestly dressed person at work - no cleavage, short skirts, bare shoulders etc. But I really can't help it if this pregnancy has caused me to have bonkers!!!!!!!!</p> <p>What's the most inappropriate thing someone said to you during pregnancy? </p>
