I can't even imagine how shitty that must feel. It was so brave of you to be open but there are consequenses for sure. Do you have an good comments you use to politely but firmly shut them down? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-do-people-say-dumb-stuff-to-preggos-dont-they-know-we-are-hormonal-as-it-is#post-233184 Tue, 24 Jul 2012 22:13:59 +0000 matador84 233184@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah I swear I am going to hit someone in the face soon if people keep telling me "I will never make it to my due date!!" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-do-people-say-dumb-stuff-to-preggos-dont-they-know-we-are-hormonal-as-it-is#post-233178 Tue, 24 Jul 2012 22:05:40 +0000 singingbee 233178@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've found that people feel like they can say anything to me about my reproductive status since our miscarriage. It ranges from discussions about how we are trying, are we trying enough, don't worry--they know lots of people this happened to and they have a baby now, etc. It's like we are an open book now and everyone has a say in our conceiving. Now I'm starting to get 'pity' looks since we are coming up on our due date. They ask, "How are you doing?" with this 'poor, pitiful you' look on their face. I hate it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-do-people-say-dumb-stuff-to-preggos-dont-they-know-we-are-hormonal-as-it-is#post-233177 Tue, 24 Jul 2012 22:05:33 +0000 mrbee 233177@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsMccarthy: *runs away* </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-do-people-say-dumb-stuff-to-preggos-dont-they-know-we-are-hormonal-as-it-is#post-233176 Tue, 24 Jul 2012 22:01:22 +0000 MrsMccarthy 233176@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>hahah that is a smart tactic. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-do-people-say-dumb-stuff-to-preggos-dont-they-know-we-are-hormonal-as-it-is#post-233169 Tue, 24 Jul 2012 21:48:01 +0000 mrbee 233169@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I honestly never say anything to pregnant ladies. I just listen and nod, then run away as soon as I can. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-do-people-say-dumb-stuff-to-preggos-dont-they-know-we-are-hormonal-as-it-is#post-233167 Tue, 24 Jul 2012 21:43:16 +0000 MrsMccarthy 233167@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Grrr, met a friends mom who decided to inform me that i am gonna have a 10 lb baby and that i should not worry about my weight because breastfeeding will peel it off. Then she kept telling me how beautiful i am. Of course they say that to compensate. She meant well i know but why oh why do people do this? It made me feel fat to say the least. Meanwhile my last appointment i was told baby was measuring right on time and that my weight and his were good. So, yeah, i think i will go with the doctors estimate. </p>
