So now that I'm 27 weeks and up almost 25, I'm just lying about my weight when she asks b/c I don't want to hear any rude comments! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/worst-pregnancy-comments-youve-received#post-429266 Mon, 03 Dec 2012 12:33:51 +0000 Smurfette 429266@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I can't believe the things people say. So far I haven't had anything too bad. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/worst-pregnancy-comments-youve-received#post-429264 Mon, 03 Dec 2012 12:33:27 +0000 autumnlove 429264@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Your uterus will explode, I would kill myself if I were you, are you ready to pop (around 14-15 weeks) and some others I can't remember! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/worst-pregnancy-comments-youve-received#post-429254 Mon, 03 Dec 2012 12:29:50 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 429254@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Arden: @oliviaoblivia: oh my gosh!!! i cannot believe what some people say! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/worst-pregnancy-comments-youve-received#post-429250 Mon, 03 Dec 2012 12:27:58 +0000 oliviaoblivia 429250@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>From my 86 year old FIL while looking at my maybe 25 week bump....<br /> FIL: "that's quite a tub of lard you've got there."<br /> me: "well she is growing...:/"<br /> FIL: "at least it's better to be obese than skinny"</p> <p>now every time I see him he says something about how I'm fatter than when he saw me last. </p> <p>aside from FIL I've gotten the "twins?" comment far too much. once from another dad in our birth classes. Thankfully our instructor dressed him down. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/worst-pregnancy-comments-youve-received#post-429218 Mon, 03 Dec 2012 12:18:53 +0000 Arden 429218@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've had some doozies. Most of these were from older people (70+), so I didn't feel right saying something snappy in return, but good grief!</p> <p>"This baby is going to tear you apart down there! You're too tiny to give birth that way. You should just have a c-section. Seriously, it's gonna look like Texas Chainsaw Massacre!" - My great aunt.</p> <p>"You're having a water birth? What kind of an idiot does that?" - Some old lady I barely know who demanded to know what kind of birth I'm planning.</p> <p>"You think you're having a natural birth, but you'll be clutching the bedposts screaming for drugs, and you won't care how peaceful your birth center is anymore. And I'll just say "I told you so"." - Same great-aunt, geez.</p> <p>"Well you look like a tub." - A jerky man who thought he was being funny.</p> <p>"It's obviously a boy if it's kicking that hard. Girls aren't strong." - Like four people. Um... sexist much?</p> <p>What sort of terrible comments have you received so far? </p>
