Thread: My first rude comment

I remember getting some rude ones when I was pregnant with DS like, "Are you sure you're not having twins?" Or "You must be due any day now!" and I wouldn't be due for another 2 months... I thought that my skin would be thicker this time around, but today I got hurt feelings. One of my old coworkers came by work today and I haven't seen her in a few months. She asked me if anything was new while eyeing my belly. I told her I was expecting and then she said, "Oh I didn't want to say anything but I noticed in your face." I was like, "What?" She said, " Yes, I noticed in your face. I mean, you are tiny, but I can still see it in your face." As if her "tiny" comment made up for it? What the heck is wrong with people???? I do always seem to gain weight in my face. It's something I was very self conscious about in my last pregnancy and for her to bring it up really hurt my feelings. Sorry to vent, but I just don't get people sometimes.

that is just rude! i don't know why people think they can say just anything to pregnant people!

Thank you! I was proud of myself for not gaining crazy amounts of weight this time like when I was pregnant with DS. I put on waaaay too much weight with him so it really made me mad when she said that b/c I have been feeling good about myself. It's like she burst my bubble.

Ugg. people suck. I also seem to show my weight gain in my face and it drives me nuts Today I pisted a belly pic on Facebook and a friend of mine commented "holy cow"... im huge, I get it, but the word cow should never be made in reference to a pregnant lady.. Just saying. I replied back "thanks j you really know how to make a prego lady feel great ;p"

oh my goodness!!!!!! i don't even know what else to say...

my BF's alcoholic cousin and his gf purposely got pregnant shortly after us because they were jealous, and now she's going for an abortion because "being pregnant sucks" now I'm being told I am "fat, disgusting and having babies is the most ridiculous thing people can do" .. she works in a daycare. I'm SO frustrated with these people. Sorry this is a whole other topic on it's own -- but I'm tired of hearing that having a baby is a horrible idea -- I think my baby is a huge blessing, and I know what 2 year olds, 5 year olds and 10 year olds are like - but seriously. Just grinds my gears!

So, they purposely got pregnant, are now changing their mind about their decision, and are going to terminate??? WOW. They should be the ones to be terminated. I mean, before I got pregnant at 21 I KNEW that pregnancy could be a difficult road to travel. But, I love kids, and think they are so worth it. If they really don't want to keep the baby, why not have it and give it up for adoption so that people who aren't so selfish can raise the baby? And people give me grief for having a 4th, yeesh.

I have been having kind of a rough pregnancy - I have been puking every day for the last what, oh 11 weeks or so? My pelvis doesn't lock anymore, I constantly have a headache, I am exhausted, I'm pretty sure I am starting anemia (even though I take my iron etc.) and I don'T complain... I do at home ask my bf to give me a backrub, and I am waddling because of the unlocked pelvis, but I'm like "I can't wait to have my son here!" She got a bit nauseous one day and is now having an abortion. Apparently they aren't financially stable (no doubt. you spend all your money on beer he spends all his on pot.). she hates the 2 kids he already has. she hates him. she hates his whole family (gee, thanks?) and she doesn't wanna have his baby. she also says pregnancy is too hard. You're like 10 weeks -- and can still eat, and haven't actually thrown up yet. Shut up.

I kinda lost it on her on Saturday - we were over for a bon fire, and the men went in the house to find music, and the second they went in it was all "Oh I can't wait to just get it over with, this is bullsh!t. you're an idiot, getting all fat and disgusting for no good reason" then she's all "Maybe one day but not now" I flat out looked at her and said "Some people aren't meant to be mother's. So, it would be best if you just got on birth control and stayed on it."

I'm just frustrated - I had a hard time getting pregnant. And was told I would never get pregnant. To me, purposely getting pregnant to "terminate" is complete total ..... idiocy and I honestly just want to punch her in the face (but I am not a violent person, I am just that frustrated) And quite honestly, if she hates her bf and his kids that much... IT'S FREE TO LEAVE HIM!!!!

*end of rant* sorry ladies. feels good to let out though.

Wow, she needs a good smack in the face for being so rude! Plus, I saw your belly pic and you look amazing! I wish I was as little as you!

I agree! No sentence to a pregnant woman should ever include the word "cow"....

That is so incredibly effed I don't even have the words. I would not even be able to talk to someone after finding that out!
