found this today on an American site and it made me laugh:
Useful comebacks to rude pregnancy comments
• "At least I made somebody's heart and brain today. What did you do?"
• "You're huge too — and you don't have the excuse of another person living inside you."
• "Go ahead, but I'm not touching yours."
On sex - so ironic that 3rd trimester for me is going well - the first I was too sick and the second was just awkward for some reason. 3rd is a dream - better than before pg. ok, tmi.
e14 - i confess too - although i have never taken any joy in how other people look but I have noticed pg women on the street and said a little thanks that i didn't look 'as bad' as them.
this is not particularly helpful to the big babies convo but i am remembering talking with a midwife friend in the US and she was saying there's a bit of chat in the 'field' about how babies are getting bigger - a 7lb baby now completely normal if not on the smaller side. she says with the new attention to health in pg, vitamins, exercise, babies, and in particular heads are getting noticeably bigger. obviously a good thing but there is some concern about how to deal with them. she said some believe the big heads may be directly linked to vitamins so lay off the pregnacare and have a g and t. JK!
prisci i had a nose bleed on the weekend and thought of you (on the eurostar). in any other context that would be a strange thing to say but different rules on MN!
Last day of work in the office - gotta make it productive....
