Friends saying: 'oh, well done!' instead of 'congratulations'. I know they mean well and I don't actually mind that much, but, honestly, it was not much of an effort at all. Dare I say it, I found it rather enjoyable 
.
The question I've had from EVERYONE this time is
'is it your last?' or 'its got to be your last?' or 'will you have another?!?'
(it IS our last)
I'm thinking 'chirst let me get this one out first!' 
Oh yeah, about a week before my 12 week scan, the girl next to me at work was telling me about how her step-daughter discovered she had a mmc at 12 weeks. Felt very sorry for SD but still unsure why friend was telling me this! It is unbelievable people telling you about someone who lost their bady at 8 months 
Since being pg there are lots of things I realise I've said to pg people that are not very appropriate but I can't imagine being that tactless!
at 'Oh well done' lots of that too...! Think Dp rather likes that though and does genuinely think he should get a pat on the back for inpregnating me :) :)
lol lucielooo dh thinks that too, i also get a lot of 'arent you clever' what for working out that a mans dick goes inside a womans vagina when he cums a baby is made
i have strep b and when i tell people this they like to tell me stories of their 'friends mum's sisters aunt who had strep b and when the baby was born the docs and mw didnt realise the baby was ill and it died' and then they look at me as if to say its going to happen to you. yep because when i am already stressed out enough about it and getting the anti biotics in time i really need to know that.
I actually got "Have you figured out which shag it was that made you pregnant?" This from a male colleague!
I was so taken aback at the directness, I actually replied "Well, it's a bit difficult to do that when you're having sex at least twice a day, every day..."
He said that was impossible to do! I just looked at him pityingly
LOL MAQ - but have you though?
I don't mind a lot of the things people say, most of the time they are just trying to be interested I've done it with my friend telling her she'd suit a girl or a boy 
(twice I've told her this fascinating insight) and I'm bloody pregnant myself!
A colleague at work came to me once and told me that she was convinced I was having a girl. when I asked why, she said that back in her country, they say that it's a girl when the mum get really ugly because the daughter is stealing her beauty from her...
I stared at her and then laughed uncontrolably because I thought it was so naive...and she got really upset with me!
sarah my mum has 6 children and between number 4 and number 5 there is a 16 year gap. she got the was it planned? question alot and just told people it was none of their business she also got asked with number 6 as well even tho she came along 3 years after number 5. and yes we were all planned (apart form me anyway, i was a surprise!)
and the is it the same dad question gets asked alot, and when my mum replies yes its usually followed by, 'i mean biologicly do they all have the same father?' my mum can often be found shouting 'the answer is still yes and its none of your business anyway'!

LOL zahara hahahahah I hope you weren't offended but that did make me laugh :)
lucieloo I didn't get offended at all. It was early pregancy and I was feeling awful most of the time, so I didn't care. But I thought that the comment was so stupid...it just made me laugh!
Funny thing is that I am expecting a girl...could her prediction have been true?!
