Hellobee Boards

Someone asked me if I was tired of being fat once.

I'm sorry. People have no class. What an awful thing to say to someone!

I think I'd have to say this is one of the worst...
A female server at a local restaurant looked at me and told my husband something along the lines of 'you should've had her swallow'.
OMG.

@Cherrybee: Seriously on the planning question. Does it matter if the baby is or isn't?! Sheesh

I'm currently pregnant with #2 so I get a lot of "whoa! You look much bigger/further along than you did with #1". yea, I know. Thanks. Even though I've gained less weight so far with #2, I did show earlier/bigger. So what?

That's extra rude considering it came from someone in what I assume is a baby & kids store?!

Did you respond to her?

"I could tell it's a girl since you are big all over."

I know I am, thank you. But every single person told me C was a boy based on the way I carried her, so yeah.

@Foodnerd81: I got that one when I was 17 weeks with DD1. "I gained all over with my girl too"..... except I was still nine pounds below prepregnancy weight. Grrrrr!

I got a lot of, "You're still pregnant?!" I'm short and slim, and gained 31 lbs by the end, and was all belly...I looked very pregnant.

@Cherrybee: I don't know- sometimes she does feel like a 3 foot tall contortionist based on where I'm getting kicks and punches... Maybe this cashier was on to something.

I might have posted this before, but a co-worker who knows I'm pregnant suggested I join an office weight loss challenge with them. Also, my husband told me that my nausea would go away if I "thought positively". No, dipshit, that is not how nausea works.

@BandDmommy: You mean like yesterday when the checkout lady at the store said "Man, you look like you REALLY want to evict that baby."

WTF.

With my second, a construction worker shouted at me "baby's on the way any day!!!" as I was walking down the street. I still had at least 2 months to go then, though : )

Always about my size, especially with my 1st one. Is it twins? no. You must be due any day now! No. Look people, he was 10 1/2 pounds st birth - I make big bakes.

With this one, I was asked if I was due in January or February. No - May. I'm just big!!!

And people quit asking me if I want a girl. I didn't decide to have a 3rd baby just to try for a girl.

@TrailRunner: My DH made a comment along the lines of there being an element of mind over matter to morning sickness. I would love to see him try to zen his way out of non-stop nausea.

I was pregnant at the same time as a coworker who was due a few weeks after me. Another one of our coworkers constantly said things like "Are you sure you're only a month ahead of her? She's so much smaller than you!" It was annoying to both of us.

@josina: Good! I can't believe anyone would say that, but especially to a customer! Wtf was she thinking?!

A manicurist today told me I was huge for seven months and asked if I was carrying twins. It took all my strength not to retaliate!

These were the first reactions to my early bump....

The comments coming my way were all about the gender, which really bothered me. We have a 2.5 year old girl and a lot of people assumed we must want a boy for #2. I heard a lot of, "all men ever want are sons" type comments.

Meanwhile, we truly didn't care about the gender. Our DD is just now overcoming a chronic health issue that required several hospitalizations and we had a miscarriage right before conceiving #2, so I'm just ecstatic that the baby appears to be healthy so far!

@DesertDreams88: Oh my gosh...I nearly lol'ed at the last comment... most women don't get stretch marks til the very end. FWIW, I think you look amazing.
