I haven't gotten to this point yet, but I am really worried about certain people in my office asking me about these types of things. I really think I'll end up being bitchy and sarcastic towards them.

I just think it's so rude, you'd never ask a man at work if his doctor thinks everything is fine with his balls!

People are so obnoxious. What is it with people and pregnant women?

I'm not even letting my midwife check me, cause there's no rhyme or reason for it. So, if they ask, I'll be honest and tell them I don't know. I have a feeling my mother in law is going to be the first one to ask me this.

Haha, I'm getting this now too. Honestly though, I prefer that topic to the endless barrage of 'are you breastfeeding?' and 'are you going to have a 'natural' birth?' plus all the opinions that go with them!

I thought the same thing and was even more horrified when people asked if I tore once he got here!

@MsLipGloss: Boo!! I hope these men don't do that, but I guess I'll find out soon enough!

Yes, at more than 37 weeks, I am definitely sick of "how are you feeling?" I know they mean well, but they don't want to hear any response other than "pretty good." (To which their response is: sleep now, and I have to try to keep myself from rolling my eyes. If you know a polite way to roll your eyes, please share!) If I tell them how I'm actually feeling, I know a "just you wait" will be coming my way, and that's SO MUCH WORSE! Arg.

@ladyfingers: Yeah - I don't even understand the birth questions - like no I'm not planning to have a c-section or be induced but who knows?

@Phillybaby2013: The weirdest think about the BFing questions is that half the people will be like, 'don't worry about it - breastfeeding sucks/hurts so bad/ you won't be able to leave the house...' or 'Breast is best/You have to do it!/ It's the best thing in the world!'

I actually sort of like telling nosy people that actually no, I'm not dilating at all yet because so many people are saying I'd have the baby early/at any time.

@ladyfingers: Haha, me too. People would ask me at like, 26 weeks if I was going to have a c-section and I would say uhhh not that I know of? I always wanted to say, 'Well yeah, how else was I going to schedule my Tummy Tuck for right after?'

Omg. I would be so mortified if someone asked about my cervix. But, knowing my office, I'm sure it'll happen. I was told by a coworker than another coworker was several cm dilated and that's why she'd gone home instead of coming in after her dr appt. I was just like "uhhh. okay." I think a simple "the doctor said the baby will probably make her appearance in the next day or so, so she headed home" would've sufficed.
