When I told my dad I was planning to try a water birth and to try without an epidural he said "ha good luck with that"

I once got "You're pregnant? Why are you keeping it?"

Ive been having pain with SPD & cant walk very far, my "friend" wanted me to walk home with her, when i told her i cant walk very far, she laughed and says "oh i think youre exaggerating!"
What the hell! Haha! x

 

[PGLady]

You look swell. So funny

 

[xxxemmaxxx]

I really cant stand being asked "was it planned"
Just think it's so bloody rude and I tend to find people that don't know me that well think it's ok to ask more so!

I love it when people say, "Oh, you're due soon, aren't you? What? You have 12 more weeks yet? Are you sure?"

Yeah. I'm sure, you asshole.

Have you thought of a back up name in case their wrong about it being a girl? (I've had 5 scans since 17 weeks when they first told me she was a little girl and every time she's been a little girl)

Are you sure you know who's it is? Umm yeap i'm pretty sure I know who I was screwing when thank you!

It must be nice not to have a big bump! I'm not showing and it's actually kinda sad that at 8 months pregnant I don't look pregnant.

What?? Someone actually asked you this?? What the hell is wrong with people?? It certainly wouldn't have been a nice response coming our of my mouth....

'Keep the fat girls away from the buffet!' shouted my husbands friend at a wedding we were at, referring to me in the buffet queue when I was 8 months pregnant

I went to work for one day at 37 weeks to fill in for someone. It's a doctor's office. I let the first patient in and he went in the back and chatted with the hygenist. It's a very small office. This is the conversation I heard:
Patient (50 y old man): "Wow, your front desk person looks like she's ready to go".
Hygenist: "I know. She's huge, right?".
Patient: "Oh yeah. How can she even walk??".
Hygenist: "I know, right?!
etc etc
Nice way to start the day.

My favourite is when people comment on what you eat;

Should you be eating that? (Referring to cheddar cheese!!)
Are you allowed another coffee today?
Just because you're pregnant doesn't mean you can stuff your face (coz I was eating a piece of cake, as was everyone else at the time!!)

Yeap! baby wasn't planned and came fairly quickly after OH and I started dating and both my ex husbands family and Oh's family asked me. OH's sister when we first told them said she wasn't really going to be an aunt because there was no way the baby was going to be family.

Oh and I've just remembered another one. While on a cruise at 4 and a half months pregnant I was standing next to an old man and his daughter. He obviously was hard of hearing so was talking much louder than he realised. I saw his daughter blush when he said 'heavy with child' while nudging her and pointing my way, followed by 'about 8 months I'd say'

 

[Chelle26]

I've had omg you don't even look pregnant !! Was it planned ??? And the best one was my bitch of a sister who when was told it was a boy she replied Im sorry hope your not too upset grrrr !!!

 

[Erinsmummy]

All i get is "where is your bump, so and so has one!"
"you havnt put on any weight are you eating enough?"

Drives me insane! i HAVE put on weight, just not alot and yep my bump is small but i didnt realise you had to be a certain size at a certain time!!! Argh.

 

[MummyMana]

People are constantly asking me if I'm eating enough/"eating properly" :/ I've put on 2 stone!

Husband was ginger when he was younger he out grew it but if he grows a beard its a dark red so i've had "aww well if you keep shaving the babies head it'll be a "normal" colour before it goes to school" and at the pharmacy in Sainsburys (i posted this before) I went to see what they could recommend for killer indegestion at x-many weeks pregnant the lass serving asked the pharmacist who bobbed his head round the corner and not as discreetly as he'd hoped said i should probably stop eating

 

[Joygrrr]

No lie - a woman a trade show (total stranger) shouted from across a stand "excuse me lady. Can we have our ball back please!" referring to my beach ball bump!! I was a little shocked to say the least

I'm starting to be immune to BS comments about my pregnancy, I guess becoming a mom means I'm also becoming more thick skinned.
I used to get all kinds of silly comments about the size of the belly, especially from those trying to guess the month, everyone was 2 months wrong guessing I was 5 months when I was 7. Now belly is bigger so no one asks.

One thing that pisses me is the talk about the sex of the baby. Everyone assumes that my DH is over the moon for having a boy. It goes like this: What are you having, boy or girl? We are having a baby boy. Ooooh daddy must be super excited having a son, they can go to the football matches together!
And the other response when they hear it will be a boy: Oh wow you are going to be so exhausted boys are sooo hard/naughty/wild etc.

1) DH wanted a girl, I wanted a boy, but we would be over the moon with whatever, we are super excited having our first child so who cares about the sex?
2) DH doesn't like football. I love football. I will take my son to the football matches.
3) You assume all boys are naughty , probably you haven't met my sis and I, we were worse that 10 boys on sugar high combined.
