if another person tells me...

Is it just me, or is that rude to say to a very pregnant woman? I'm sure they mean it as a compliment, but they should just keep their omments to themselves!!!

kimberley replied: hug.gif people in general have no ettiquette where pg women are concerned. they are either carrying twins or tiny rolleyes.gif rolleyes.gif and the unsolicited touching.. don't get me started dry.gif sorry that happened to you hug.gif

Boys r us replied: Yeah, I've gotten a lot of that too..I suppose that it's better than,"wow..you must be having twins!" LOL But at the same time, why must people always make remarks about size during pregnancy?

I had my baby shower for work yesterday and I must have heard a gazillion times, "THERE IS NO WAY you're do in a month" It kind of makes me feel like somehow I'm doing an inadequate job or something. but I also know that I've packed on 40 pounds and I seriously doubt much of that has to do with the baby..but rather weight I've put on other areas of my body during this pregnancy..so in comparison to how I looked pre-pregnancy, my belly look small..but I know part of it is b/c I've gained weight everywhere, not just my belly.

won't be long now Edie and we won't have to worry about it!

skinkybaby replied: When I was pregnant with my daughter several people asked me "Are you SURE its not twins?" blink.gif

People should just say "You look great! How are you feeling?" and leave it at that

CantWait replied: Ya I see what you're saying. Like if they say oh wow you're big then you feel like you've gained a million pounds and look like a beached whale, but if they say you're tiny, then you feel like you're not eating enough or something.

Why can't they just say you look beautiful. dry.gif

TheOaf66 replied: yes, ITA not a nice thing to say. It is the same as saying to a gal who is really showing a lot...wow must be two of them in there you're so big. growl.gif

Kaitlin'smom replied: sorry they cant hold there tounge. My sister is 15 weeks along and she is showing quite well, doe smake me wonder if one is hideing but I also think its just beacuse her yougest is 14 months old. NO way will I say she looks big....just that she looks beautiful.

PS Though I never do I always want to touch a PG belly, dunno why I do, but I wont unless asked or my hand is placed there.

3_call_me_mama replied: I know how you feel. I'm due in less than 2 weeks and I hear it all teh time. "you don't even LOOK pregnant" (So i WADDLE LIKE this all teh time!!??) Seriously people have horrible foot in mouth syndrome when it comes to pregnancy!)

PrairieMom replied: I always got, "your due WHEN?! scary!Your never gonna make it!" rolleyes.gif

ashtonsmama replied: People should keep some things in their mouths.

youngmomofone replied: I was told when I had dinner plate in front of me not to eat too much or the baby will be fat because I was big enough already. I hardly ate anything that night and cried myself to sleep. sleep.gif

My2Beauties replied: People are so rude! sleep.gif

Boo&BugsMom replied: Maybe it's just me, but those kinds of comments don't irritate me. Usually it's just people's way of starting conversation because they don't know what else to say or something of the like. I've been told worse things in my life. wink.gif

Tiggersmom2 replied: I can so relate! I am 22 weeks and get the "You can NOT be pregnant" all the time. rolleyes.gif I did wear my size 2 jeans out of the hospital after delivering my last child (and he was a healthy 6lbs 14 oz at 2 1/2 weeks early), I am just naturally little.

withchild334 replied: With my first child, it was "how can you be due so soon, you're tiny" and with my third it was "you're huge, that baby is really gonna hurt". It turned out that my 1st was the biggest at 6lb 7 1/2 and the third weighed 4lb 7

JanetH replied: yeah I think a lot of times people think they are helping but it is just irritating. At least you know it won't be too long and you won't have to worry about it cause your baby will be here.
