"OH MY. you are SO ROUND. wow."

gee, thanks, other secretary who apparently also hates me. 

[soozy87]

Yeah, I got that earlier this week too...but it was from my boss.

Are you sure you aren't due TOMORROW

Are you having a girl because girls take away your beauty


second verse, same as the first. People are idiots.

I'm sure you look spectacular, cville.

holy crap. i just ran into her again getting a drink. "so, not much longer, right? next week?"

me: nope, not until the end of october [tight smile]

her: oh, i thought end of september. wow. [shakes her head] wow.

[mandy0810]

What. A. Bitch. Seriously.
People are such assholes :-|

[SKP82]

Ugh I hate this crap! "You must be due really soon!" "Nope, not for another month." "Oh, it must be a really big baby then."

People are assholes.

I'd like to punch her in the vagina.

she doesn't have any kids, so i will give her the benefit of the doubt that she has no idea how off-putting this is.

SORRY MY HUGENESS FREAKS YOU OUT.

[tdk2]

We must be on the same time line.

Seriously, every post is similar.

Yesterday I started getting those comments. I'm going to assume it was the shirt I wore? (not really - it's like the belly really rounded out overnight).


The twin comment was THE WORST last pg, esp since I had lost twins right before. It wasn't like that was common knowledge, but it really kind of stung ea time someone said it.

[snickers]

who says something like that!

[Deleted]

And you gave her a dumbfounded look and said, "I'm not pregnant."

I would definitely say this to people for my entire pregnancy in response to these comments.

[LLL]

cutabitch

[nadasteph]

I'm a week behind you, and at wedding this weekend I had probably 6 or 7 different people say something like "any day now, hey?". Uh, no, 7 more weeks ass hole

Miss Manners also suggests that when people ask you questions you don't want to answer, or make appalling remarks, you can bring a few tears to your eyes, hold your stomach, and choke out "The doctor says I'm not supposed to get upset", and walk away.

Lol
I love this.

[iamgrace]

Yeah. People started saying shit like that to me at 25 weeks with Clare. People are dumb.

[tdk2]

I snorted at the teary one.
Somehow I don't think cville or I could pull that off sincerely.
Just a hunch.



and sue - it's really nice when someone offers b/c I'm not going to ask, even I am pretty uncomfortable at that point. But the over the top crazy is annoying. Like the cvs clerk last night. I just wanted to make my purchase and go.

I firmly believe that 73% of people have no idea what a fully (or near fully) pregnant belly looks like.

Unless you're stickin out like octomom, I'm sure you look lovely.

[jayded]

Some people need their mouths stapled shut

[mrsericnorthman]

Wow, I always thought it's never appropriate to make comments about a pregnant person's belly size. People are such dicks.

[Deleted]

Boo on her.

[gmail]

I remember one secretary telling me that I had the "cutest little waddle"

OMFG

[AlpineSlide]

I hate people.

Again, this is where a very long, awkward stare at her is so perfect. While blinking slowly. At least 5 seconds.

At about five months, I was not only asked if I was carrying twins but also told that I looked like I was about to pop and then made some comment about me only being weeks away.

It was not a good day.

I can't wait to run here and tell you all how I react the first time somebody tries to touch my belly.
