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.

I honestly never say anything to pregnant ladies. I just listen and nod, then run away as soon as I can.

hahah that is a smart tactic.

@MrsMccarthy: *runs away*

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.
-
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!!"

@Jennimac: Yeesh! 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?

@lydg: HAHA DITTO!!!!

I recently had someone tell me they knew I was having a girl because I'm "carrying all over". Gee thanks!

@mrsmccarthy even if they don't say it, the look on their face when i tell them my due date usually says it al! i'm like dont make me go crazy prego on you!
