Silly things people say to you when pregnant?

[babyt2020]

Luckily I've managed to avoid most people's stupidity because of lockdown most of my bump time has been spent indoors (I'm 36 weeks)

What silly or unwanted things have people said to you when pregnant? This is only lighthearted, yesterday my neighbour saw me and we were chatting about my pregnancy, she's a lovely lady. She said 'oooh you WILL be going for everything pain relief wise won't you, have an epidural the lot?' So I said I wasn't ruling anything out as I don't know if I'll be wimp or warrior when it comes down to it. I did say I wanted to avoid an epidural for a few reasons, mainly back problems, to which she said 'yes I had an epidural with my first and I've still got back problems from it now' her daughter was born on the same day as me and I'm 37!! So why, pray tell are you recommending I have summat that's giving you trouble 37 years later? 🤣🤷‍♀️

Another one was I was feeling a bit blue that I'd not seen any friends etc whilst I've got my bump do I posted a picture on Facebook of my bump which is something I wouldn't have ordinarily done and a man I hard to work with said 'you look like a barrage balloon' bloody charming!!! 🙄🙄

@Coffeecak3 my response was that the colour of my child's hair is the least of my concerns. I'm happy to be pregnant with a healthy baby having had a mc and struggling to conceive. That's quite a silencer! Say something awkward, get an awkward answer.

@imgardening. Absolutely.

I have only got the "was it planned?" twice. Once by my brother in law and he was shot down by everyone else but I didn't really care. He looked awkward and like he had to ask something and that was the first thing that popped into his head. It was quite sweet really just watching his face.
The second time was when I was sat crying about how awful I was feeling with someone from work and she was giving me a peptalk about looking after myself. She is quite open about having had both planned and unplanned pregnancies and was asking to work out what advice I might need.
I don't know if I see it differently as my parents are quite open about me and my siblings all being happy accidents.

Oh I've had the "what would you do if the baby is ginger?!" Or "is your baby's hair going to be ginger?!"

I always reply hopefully! It's a beautiful hair colour!

The "what would you do" question gets me.. as if I could put it back and wait for a different one with different hair?!? 🤣 there genuinely isn't an answer to that question so I just reply "well I'd give birth to her, take her home and love her like you're meant too? What else?" 🤷🏼‍♀️
