I HATE it when people say, 'Babies are SOO expensive!'. I don't think that they're trying to be rude but it's annoying and I find it kind of offensive. No kidding they're expensive, but we'll be just fine.
I got yelled at by an old lady on the bus for not giving up my seat for her friend. There was plenty of seats but they wanted to sit next to eachother. They ended up sitting either side of me and talking over me saying I was rude and these days young people had no respect. I'm 37 weeks and was sitting reading a pregnancy book its kinda obvious that I'm having a baby. I declared loudly that I would have moved for them if I wasnt pregnant and they just said I should have said so. 1 itd obvious and 2 I JUST DID! Pregnant vs old on the bus who do you think has priority? I've never thought about it before and I can't make up my mind about it.
I'm due in august and whenever someone asks and I tell them they say oh you have to go through the summer or its going to be a rough summer for you. Really? I didn't know that! Its soo annoying I hate it. @babynumbersix hahaha that's a good one!!
Im tired of hearing, "your face isnt as fat this time, when you were pregnant last time you were just big, your face was FAT" Or, "i heard ur nose gets bigger with boys, has urs?" Or, "you and that boy need to get married or you need to sue him for child support" or, "omg, ur pregnant again? Dont u know what causes it by now?" Assholes.
I had a boy in my english class say he wouldnt pair with me bc he might "catch pregnant" it pissed the teacher off bc she not only likes me, but found it highly inappropriate.... So she just smiled as I laid into him with alot of cussing and facts about how u get pregnant asshole
My grandpa asked me if I was only having one. I just told him, "Naw, I'm having a litter." That same day my aunt told me I had to watch my weight. I didn't have anything smart to say about that. Hell-oo I'm nearly 6 months pregnant! Of course I'm getting big!
@kcantu.. OMMMGGG SO RUDE too! I cannot get over some of these! I just read an article about how to handle rude people in pregnancy and it said that we should stand up for ourselves because people need to know that just because youre pregnant doesnt mean you feel great about how your body is changing.. like, someone being pregnant isnt an excuse to comment on their size OR touch them. However, I use "catch pregnant" all the time haha. When my boyfriend or family tries to take food from me or grab a sip of my jamba juice I'm always like "careful you might get pregnant.. jerks" haha
@victoriab you guys how do you handle this?! Maybe I'm just extra emotional today but uh, can I get your aunts number?! I want to give her an earful! Watch MY weight?! Watch YOUR mouth lady!
@clope18 I truly think people say stuff like that because they can't stand a gorgeous pregnant woman being the center of everyones attention so they find some way to bring us down.. it's just like when people feel the need to "just be honest" about the way you parent, the outfit youre wearing or your new haircut.. just plain rude.
I can't believe some of the comments people have made - how rude. I've only been asked if I was eating loads and told I should drink more water. I'm proud of my bump, even before I was pregnant I always marvelled at how perfect bumps are. I'm sure you all look fabulous. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
I posted a pic of my bump on facebook and noted it as baby is 18 weeks 4 days. A friend from highschool goes are you pregnant? And I was awed at the stupid question being asked and said um duh! And he replies with oh I thought you were just hammering down those burgers like you used to. WTF! I was pissed, 1 I don't even eat effin burgers and never have and 2 he posted that sh!t on facebook! Fu**er! We are supposed to gain weight hello! I was soooo mad I could have jumped through the comp and strangled him with my "burger wrapper"!
Oh and the pregnant during summer comment... I moved from arizona to new york I know about being hot, you don't have to warn me and tell me you feel bad for me when I don't even feel bad for myself. For gosh sakes I came from blistering arizona! They know nothing about heat here in ny!
@lilbun915 The real kicker is that I'm nearly 6 months along and I've gained 15-20 pounds. According to the doctor, I can gain another 10 and I'll be fine!
Omg! Yesterday at work a customer asked the typical personal questions."When am I due? June. What am i having? A girl. Is this your first? Yes." Then she just killed me! She asked "its just one? You look like you're having twins. Are you sure its one?" Omg!! I felt like slapping her. All those questions you'd think I would've told her if it were twins when she asked what I was having. I replied A GIRL. Singular! Plus I'm 8 months pregnant! Wtf, how big am I "supposed" to look to you?! Grr. She's lucky I was on the damn clock.
I was 17 when I was pregnant with my daughter n I had a lady tell me the world is to full of basterd babies! My mom went off! U don't know my mom she's a very kind shy woman! She never flips out on people! It was classic!
Haha! I look back and laugh at things like that! Life is full of craziness but only the strong can look back and laugh! I ran into a girl from school and asked her when she was due she was like I had the baby a month ago! Oh I felt like crap but now I find it funny! Lol! The things we say and do!
today i was at work and this coworker of mine threw her dirty papertowel on the floor & i was like thanks Now i have to pick that up. she goes "well its not like yur pregnant". i looked at her wit the craziest face and said "yeah i am. im 5 1/2 months". and she goes how old are yu? i was like 17. she goes & yur having a baby? & walked away and started mumuring under her breath!!
wtff? aree yu seriuous? & thats cuz 2 days ago she was braggin how she had an abortion & she dont like using condoms & will continue to have abortions if she gets pregnant again.! her excuse for not using them is "they can get stuck inside girls & i dont want that to happend to me". i just kept my words to myself and finished working so i could leavee! smhh!
@9_2011.. I felt so bad the other day I caught a woman looking at me in the grocery store, like LOOKING, like.. studying, looking. I could feel her eyes on me so I turned my head and made eye contact and said "can i help you?" in such a rude tone. But really, whatchya lookin at lady? It's a lil belly. Theres a baby in there, and I'm hungry, focus on your shopping. I think I get a few extra comments because of my line of work combined with my appearance, I am in a very professional field but I have lots and lots of visible tattoos including some on my hands so it's confusing for people.
Comments
I would have said.."well thats because back in your day ppl got married at like 15!"
However, I use "catch pregnant" all the time haha. When my boyfriend or family tries to take food from me or grab a sip of my jamba juice I'm always like "careful you might get pregnant.. jerks" haha

I'd flip too! Omg, if anyone is ever anywhere close to that rude to me, I'll seriously set them straight!
