Things not to say to a full term pregnant lady... Rant/ fun

[HannahG315]

If anyone says the following to me ONE more time, I will kill them:

• not long now
• oh when he's out, you'll be missing pregnancy
• you think that's bad you should insert something I don't care about here
• oh I reckon he'll be at least 'x' days overdue
• AND THE WORST: you know that lady whose due date is exactly the same as yours... She had her baby.

not long now

omg I am soooo tired

omg my back hurts soooo much

i regularly hear all of the above from DH REGULARLY

'Are you going to have another one?' Let me push this one out first, ok?

'Are you sure there’s only one in there!?' I've had three scans, all of which I found really scary.

'You're having a boy? Are you happy with that?' No, DH and I have been weeping at very the idea.

'Let me tell you the most traumatic birth story I know!' Fuck off.

'Are you allowed to eat that?' See above.

'Nine months already? The time’s flown by!' It's only been nine months? Really?

'Are you all prepared?' Yup; I'm stocked up on stool softeners, witch hazel, tea tree oil and moist loo roll.

I got a prod in the bump and they exclaimed "oooo that's at least 12lb of baby in there"

I look forward to day of returning that comment ti her...

I love this thread.
I hate the I pregnant people in the world.
Currently bouncing on a birthing ball eating chocolate cake.

I hate the *unpregnant people even

Oh and how have I forgot to add the most glorious comment made by a 'friend'

• 'people have been having babies for thousands of years, it can't be that big of a deal'... I hope she get pregnant with 12lb triplets.

At 33 weeks, my current favourites are:

'Omg, you are getting bigger every day!' Well yes.

'Are you sure your dates are right / there's only one in there?'

'How are we going to cope with two? I'm totally exhausted' (this last one from dh)

cool thread....

DH as I was vomiting "you are always sick or tired my sister never complained while she was pregnant"

more than one person asked me "was it planned"

"you look tired"

Oh, and the best one was from a colleague - 'some women do die in childbirth you know'. WTF??

All of it, every last bit!

The most un helpful one was from DP regarding my personal grooming 'down there'. I nearly frickin personally groomed him!
Plus if you can't see it, it doesn't exist.

'What you need is a hot curry HAHAHAHAHA!'

41+1 and just fighting a cold - I need to rest and not give birth in the next day.

Actually on hindsight my personal fave is from the doctors receptionist today-

'No you can't order gaviscon over the phone you have to come in for it.'

Me-'I've been ordering over the phone weekly for nearly 20 weeks.'
discussion ensues in which I STILL can't order the prescription over the phone

DP then goes to surgery to personally order the prescription, to be told

'she needs to be reviewed by a doctor as the timeline for this prescription has run out, we have an appointment next week.'

Murderous!

From dh - aah you're waddling now that's so cute.

Not. Impressed. Don't care how cute you think I look.

my best ever comment was from someone at work "is it dh's?" while dh was sitting across the desk to us! my manager heard it and decided that was the right time for a 1-2-1 otherwise he could of had a murder on his hands!

I think the worst is "was it planned" coming from your dm maybe but from a stranger in the street its a horrible question to ask

DH "just because you read about being tired and having sickness and sore boobs in your pregnancy book doesn't mean you have to have them"

Whilst I'm puking 3 times a day, sleeping 10 hours a night and crying if I bash my boob on a shower door.

I'm sure he thinks I'm saying this just for fun :-S

Loving the comments from our "D"Hs.

Mine said to me: "alright fatty?" he must have got a glare from me because he then said "you know I mean it with a ph, yeah?"

Phuck off.

seff

Phuck off made me giggle!

DP last night night- "I've had a blocked ear for days. You have no idea how annoying it is."

I'm six days overdue btw...........

I'm loving all these comments.

I've lost count of the number of times I've nearly punched my DH for some comment he has made about being tired or sore ( from going out to play football with his pals while I'm at home 37 weeks plus with a 3 year old).

And I get told I'm huge by both family, friends and complete strangers daily!

It's good to know I'm not the only one.

Saucy that reminds me of when I was in labour with DS 2 and my DP did nothing but complain about his toothache.
He even asked the midwife if he was ok taking paracetamol and ibuprofen at the same time.
I swear if I wasn't so distracted I would have ripped that tooth out with my bare hands!!!

Today is my due date. I've headed off most people by posting a Facebook status that pretty much says:

"Yes it's my due date
No the baby's not here yet
No I don't know when she'll arrive
Yes I will let you know when she's here"

One of my friends then posted this link, which several of you might find useful: haveyouhadthatbabyyet.com

Yeah- there is a reason why it's us women who give birth LJ.

The poor flowers just wouldn't know what to do.

Love the link FrankelInFoal.

"Can tell you're carrying a boy, it's all at the front"

No, it's exactly the same shape as when I had DD. Keep your old wives tales to yourself, I'm not interested and fuck the fuck off
