33 weeks pregnant and fed up of people commenting on it!!

[Firstimefreaked]

Was going out for lunch with my OH and saw my landlord who said hey what's up Fatty? Errgg why would you think that's a okay funny thing to say??? Yesterday a guy said it looked like I was having triplets 😁 I'm measuring at the right weeks and everything...anyone else sick of this bull? still fuming about the fatty thing...my OH said he's just joking and he is 70...still don't care it's just plain rude.

Earlier today I was standing in the alley and someone went ooooh girl don't ya give birth here....no wonder so many pregnant women stay inside.

I'm not looking forward to this. Only 21 weeks so nothing overly rude yet but still had a few unwanted comments!

Reply back "not much baldy/skinny/stinky" delete where appropriate. It's infuriating but it's prob b/c he doesn't have anything else to say?

You need to get a thicker skin and quickly.

When your dh is born it will be too fat /too skinny /too hairy /too bald /ears too big /too loud /too sleepy /too much like df /not enough like df /feeds too often /not enough.

EVERYONE will have an option.

Practice smiling and nodding. . Then ignore. .

Just give all your energy and head space to your little one and stuff everyone's opinions!!

Maybe it's my neighbour hood but people are always commenting on it, probably would have said something if it wasn't my landlord. Sometimes it's nice when people say things like when are you due and ask questions like that. It's the fatty thing that got me I think.

Yanbu. I am not pregnant, but when I was and used to drop my older DD at school, every single fucking day on the playground from about week 30 onwards into my second pregnancy, some insensitive knob would say "look at you! You're huuuuuge" or "you still here?" (As in not given birth yet?) and so on.

I dont know what posesses people to turn into complete idiots where pregnancy is concerned, but all normal social boundaries just seem to go out of the window when presented with a bump!

you need to practice glaring.

My mums half Asian and I'm super white looking a lot of people thought she was my maid. 😒.

I hear you.

Coming up to 36 weeks and a woman I have never ever seen before approached me in the toilet at work whilst I was washing my hands and said 'are you about ready to go then? Your bump has really dropped!'

Ha tots right flumpernickel, it's like the social switch turns off...I usually get it from men but it would miff me off if people kept seeming surprised I hadn't given birth yet 😬 Or you tell people and their like you have ages yet when you tell them your due date...

Ahh snoopy it's so odd like you don't even know me or how I look! Had someone ask if my belly button popped yet as that's when the buns finished baking...

Im 32 weeks and people look aghast when I tell them how far along I am. A few have even asked if I'm sure it's right. I'm measuring average by the midwife too.

So many people who think they have medical degrees....the oh wow still 7 weeks your going to be massive! Oh hell no.

I'm actually complimented when people say things like "oh, your getting big, not long left".
I'm 35 weeks pregnant, so getting it quite a bit and it really makes me smile, even though I don't know why.
I wasn't happy last week when I put a picture of me and bump on Facebook and a distant uncle commented "who are all the pies?" He doesn't know me that well, is really inappropriate, and have struggling with my weight and self esteem for years, not cool

Some comments make me smile like if someone says your blooming etc or you look great.

32 weeks and I feel ya! "You look like your ready to pop!" from strangers and "please don't give birth here" getting into taxis 😂 all about the smiling and nodding, most people don't mean anything bad but yeah calling a pregnant woman fatty is a different thing entirely, what a dick haha 😣

MsHopey who ate the pies Is so rough...Id be miffed. My OH says that us women don't understand just how stupid men are especially since they have no frame of reference as something such as pregnancy separates us as the sexes the most....not sure that stands up in a court of law lol

A woman said to me "you have a lovely little bump" and I liked that one. OR if people say you look lovely or radiant or whatever. It's socially acceptable for some reason to comment on a pregnant woman's appearance!!

I've had a few unwanted bump touches but that's only women...luckily?? 😁 Not really up for any stranger touching

Down in Devon it's your bumps proper tidy lol

I had the opposite issue as I barely developed a bump. For about 28 weeks people didn't give me a second glance, never offered seats on public transport (I mean they could have just been rude), no rude and overbearing comments and touching - I was offended not to be offended! Right until the end, when a woman (quite politely) asked 'when are you due'? When I answered 'last week', she just said 'really '. I don't think she believed me!

I'm currently pregnant with number two, and I bloody hope I can get cross over some marginally inappropriate behaviour this time .

Sometimes the horrified looks when your on your own, I asked for directions from a guy last week and gave me such a scared look like I was going to go hide and give birth under a bush or something.

Aww Edmund damned if they do damned if they don't...apparently you show sooner and bigger with the second. Are you quite athletic or got good tummy muscles? I didn't show show until about 25 weeks...than boom belly.

Same here Edmund - I've had people ask if I'm sure my dates are right!

Luckily I'm able to tell them it's an IVF pregnancy so I happen to know exactly when I conceived.

It is annoying, but I really do think (most) people don't mean any harm by it and often times I think we take it the wrong way. I know when I was pregnant I would get worked up by some of the comments only because I also felt big everywhere else (arms, face, etc). But I really think most people just mean the size of your belly, which does in fact get large when there is a baby growing inside of it and it's perfectly natural. When people would tell me how large I was getting I would just "I know right!!.. I can't get over it either!"

I always try asking myself, if my best friend or sister (who I'm very close to) jokingly said these same comments would I be upset? And most the time I wouldn't and would probably just laugh at them. So a lot of times I think it can be more about the Who is saying it than the what! This can apply to unsolicited advice and just about anything else after baby comes too. If it is something you'd be upset by close people saying as well then you'll know you're not being unreasonable (within your own personal boundaries).. and tell them to back the $&@? off. :)
