I told her it's not a compliment an you never know what's going on and she should stick with you look great. ENd. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/you-still-have-how-much-longer#post-1172462 Thu, 24 Oct 2013 15:45:15 +0000 oliviaoblivia 1172462@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Why are people such idiots?!<br /> One of the other dads in my prenatal classes thought it was hilarious to ask if I was having twins. He flat out knew I was brewing a big baby. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/you-still-have-how-much-longer#post-1172440 Thu, 24 Oct 2013 15:39:59 +0000 Mae 1172440@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>"I'm pregnant, what's your excuse?" (in my head only, of course, while gritting my teeth and fake-laughing along with them). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/you-still-have-how-much-longer#post-1172417 Thu, 24 Oct 2013 15:35:18 +0000 Vegmama 1172417@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>People are idiots!! You're growing a baby, mama ... I'm sure you're looking AMAZING!!! Your body won't make a baby that's too big for your body. :)</p> <p>ETA: People often comment that I'm "so small", which is equally annoying. It makes me feel like I'm doing something wrong ... I'm measuring RIGHT on track, so who knows. I just think people have nothing valid to say, so they let their stupid side take over! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/you-still-have-how-much-longer#post-1172363 Thu, 24 Oct 2013 15:16:02 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 1172363@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I came close to slapping people when I heard that comment all. the. time. Do they really think they're the first one to say it to me?? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/you-still-have-how-much-longer#post-1172325 Thu, 24 Oct 2013 15:04:35 +0000 MamaBehr 1172325@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Lindsay05: You and me both :) It still makes me so mad, but I'm so use to hearing it.... My response is always "Yup. I make big babies" and then walk away. Maybe you and I should brainstorm about clever responses..... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/you-still-have-how-much-longer#post-1172260 Thu, 24 Oct 2013 14:50:01 +0000 LovelyPlum 1172260@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am 16 weeks, and last week (so 15 weeks!!) someone asked me if it was triplets. REALLY?! I'm not even that big!! (I hope!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/you-still-have-how-much-longer#post-1172231 Thu, 24 Oct 2013 14:44:47 +0000 ShootingStar 1172231@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a saleswoman at PBK be amazed when I was like 22 weeks that I wasn't about to pop and commented it must be twins. Um, I really wasn't all that big. Luckily I was able to laugh it off and not be upset by it. I figured the same thing, people don't know what full term pregnancy looks like. But you'd think someone working in a baby store would know better.</p> <p>Around 30 weeks I got more annoyed with an ON saleswoman who was like "ooh any day now, huh?" My response was a curt, "Nope. Not any day now." What is with salespeople?? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/you-still-have-how-much-longer#post-1172211 Thu, 24 Oct 2013 14:42:28 +0000 Alivoo01 1172211@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: Seriously right!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/you-still-have-how-much-longer#post-1172152 Thu, 24 Oct 2013 14:32:04 +0000 Lindsay05 1172152@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ugh some people! Today I was standing beside another woman who is due on Monday and someone asked if we are due at the same time :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/you-still-have-how-much-longer#post-1170068 Wed, 23 Oct 2013 21:38:03 +0000 Sapphiresun 1170068@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had the same experience as above poster where I went to an event at 26 weeks pregnant and got comments that I barely looked pregnant, and by 32 weeks the "you're going to pop any second" comments started. I just think that point where you're really huge is so brief and all you want to do is stay home on your couch, so people don't see it that often.</p> <p>Same with small babies. I took my 10 week old out last week, and some lady commented that she still looked newborn and thought I didn't feed her enough. Umm.. no... she's 11 lbs. Pretty sure it's just that unless you've had your own recently you forget what an actual newborn looks like because they're not up and out of the house that much. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/you-still-have-how-much-longer#post-1170059 Wed, 23 Oct 2013 21:32:58 +0000 avivoca 1170059@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Somebody asked me to not go I to labor in their house when I was 29 weeks pregnant. Talk about rage. I agree with PP, people don't really know what a full-term pregnancy looks like, and they don't realize that it looks different for everyone. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/you-still-have-how-much-longer#post-1170054 Wed, 23 Oct 2013 21:28:58 +0000 Foodnerd81 1170054@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The best part for me was I went from "You're five months already?! You don't look it!" To "Not long now, huh?" In about two weeks. </p> <p>What's wrong with "you look great!" And stopping there? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/you-still-have-how-much-longer#post-1170003 Wed, 23 Oct 2013 21:02:03 +0000 mrs.shinerbock 1170003@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It amazes me too. I think most people just don't realize what a full term pregnancy looks like because they aren't around them that often. I had a random guy tell me that it looked like my baby was ready to come out and play some football - I was 32 weeks. Now I am 37.5 weeks and people keep telling me that I am going to have the baby any day now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/you-still-have-how-much-longer#post-1169921 Wed, 23 Oct 2013 20:10:46 +0000 Lindsay05 1169921@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never thought I could get annoyed by this. I am 29.5 weeks and people are all shocked when I tell them when I am due. Some say, 'you look like you are going to pop any day' or 'maybe its twins'. </p> <p>Hahahaha people are so funny! </p> <p>It doesnt linger with me, but it does make me think of a few things:</p> <p>#1 Shut it - i am carrying a fricken human between my legs, I know how big I am.<br /> #2 I am going to have a gigantic child.<br /> #3 I am going to have this baby early. </p> <p>I don't know what I am looking for here but just needed to vent. :) </p>
