When I went to pick up my pain meds after my c-section all of the ladies stared at me whispering and then finally one comes over and said they couldn't fill the prescription because it wasn't safe to take during pregnancy.

@oliviaoblivia: i had a similar experience. And my pain meds were not even a prescription. I was buying advil for my c-section pain. The cashier kept looking at me funny and finally asked if my doctor said it was okay to take this.

I was asked several times, pretty upsetting. I started wearing larger non maternity shirts that made me look fat, not pregnant. Better, but not a great alternative.

About two weeks after having my daughter I was at a shower and a women came over and said " oh you too! It's like a baby boom in this city, when are you due? " my reply " see the car seat over there but seriously I never wore that dress again.

I was 5 days PP walking around and a priest asked when I was gonna have the baby. I explained that I just had her, actually

Yep. I was shopping for clothes for the new baby and someone asked me when O was due. I said, "I just had my baby", even through I was 3 or 4 weeks postpartum.

Just got asked last week. DS is 10 months old. Awesome.

@night cheese: same here. I never ask people if they are pregnant. So rude.

At 6 weeks pp, I bought a new casual dress to wear since a lot of my clothes don't fit right now. I actually weigh less than I did before I got pregnant, but my body is different. The dress made me feel good about myself and I was really happy in it. I went to get a pedicure for my baby shower that's tomorrow. (My baby is a preemie in the NICU, so our shower is after he was born.) The lady doing the pedicure looked up at me and asked me if I was pregnant. It made me feel so bad! I guess I didn't look as good in that dress as I thought I did.

Ugh, yes. I used to go to the post office at least once a week so they were aware of my pregnancy, and PP my mail guy commented "oh you must be due soon!". I can't remember exactly when PP that gem happened, as I'm trying to block it from memory. Also, I haven't been back to that post office since.

I feel like people in general are sooo clueless about what a postpartum body looks like. Thats why I cheered for princess kate when she came out for pictures right after delivering George.

Yes, two weeks ago at almost 5 months PP. The lady was older and obviously didn't have a filter. She asked if the next one was going to be a boy and I said "uh, I don't know?" Then she said "You don't know?!" in a very surprised tone. It was only then that I realized what she meant and got super flustered.

So rude. LO was born at the beginning of August, just as the fall inventory came in. I popped in to Motherhood about 3 days pp to purchase a nursing bra, which of course are way in the back of the store. A sales person stopped me on the way in, and advised the the summer sale stuff was up front, but if I was looking for stuff for when the weather got cooler, there was a small section 'over there'.

We were leaving the hospital after our DD was born and a guy riding in the elevator asked me when I was due. Hello, newborn baby in the carseat next to you!! His wife looked at him like he was nuts.
