Being referred to as 'the preggo'

[Jasperkiss5]

Would anybody else think it is a little bit, just a smidge bit rude to be called a 'preggo'. I.e in Facebook posts, 'having dinner with xx and xx and the preggo'.

I do have a name.

These are the same people who no doubt say 'the hubby', and 'the boy' for their son.

No Salem. The boy will be "lil man"
Boak.

My dsis has been calling me Pregasaurus. I don't mind, but I can see how it would be irritating for you.

at pregasaurus

I don't think it would bother me.

My neighbour referred to me as Fatty

DH referred to me as Pregatron once.

Oh I love Pregatron and Pregasaurus.... I'd get those on tshirts

Pregatron and Pregasaurus brilliant

My DB took to calling his wife "Pregnantia" when she was pregnant. She is the loveliest person in the world but even she was a bit unimpressed.

Argh. People who describe themselves as 'preggo' make me want to gouge my eyes out. I'm guessing the ladies that are 'preggo' go on to have a 'lil man' or 'lil lady' . Equally criminal.

I got "preggers" my whole pregnancy

My Sister was once referred to as the sprog carrier

I got called Fatty whilst six months pg with ds3 by a school mum... a raised eyebrow and deliberate looking her up and down and she didn't do it again! but she did get very offended!!!

A new member of staff being introduced. This is Xx she's our accounts person, this is yy our receptionist, this is zz our sales manager and this is Tibba. She's pregnant.

I refer to myself as Preggo but would NEVER call my child "lil man"

Anyway op it wouldn't really bother me I'd presume they were just being affectionate.

I hate that word. Preggo. Its just so...chav.

do they use crimbo and hubby as well?

I feel you. It is very annoying that people seem to forget I'm a friend, sister, auntie, girl, HUMAN and not just an incubator. Jokes about whether or not I can see my feet or touch my toes or stupid questions like "do you feel like you're going to topple over" or "do you wake up and forget until you try and move and can't" are just a bit insensitive

Our cat went out on the razz for 3 nights. DH eyes my 4.5 months pregnant belly and says "you've eaten him, haven't you?"

Fecker!

I'm laughing at some of these :-)

Ugh.

That is even worse than "Having dinner with this one", and the "this one" crap makes my soul hurt, so I feel for you.

^^ This

I get called the one eating for 2 I barely eat as I don't have a appetite but gosh it's annoying

Perhaps you should write something about going out to dinner with "Microman" or "Miniknob"
