Things people have said to you.

[kayzisexpecting]

I am 10 weeks pregnant with my second. I have a little boy who is 14 months. Everyone knows I am pregnant`. Recently I have been told/asked all these things.

"Why are you having another?"

"Why didn't you wait?"

"I suppose you want a girl"

"I think you are having twins" - said by someone I work with despite me having an early scan which showed 1 baby.

"X told me you were having twins"

"Why don't you call this one Freda"(DS is called Freddie)

I have got about 30 weeks to go and I am sick of it already.

What have people said to you about your pregnancy.

My personal favourite was from an aunt. 'Oh, I've never seen you so fat! You just look absolutely huge, so fat! You've gained so much weight! You've put on weight and fat everywhere, all over your body! Even your face is looking full and fat! [Continue for 5 minutes].
I cried afterwards, but DH assures me it's not the case. He convinced me! Photo of the gigantic fat bird with masses of fat surrounding whole body including face on my profile, if anyone wishes to venture a comment!

When pg with no3: "But you've already got one of each, why are you having another?"

Back to school after the summer hols, 8m pg with no3: "What, you're still pregnant?!"

Essie I had the same. I have always been a size 10(size 16 now) before having DS. At xmas my sister and my aunt were all like "Oh you fat lady" "Look how fat you are" and laughing I was so upset that I yelled at them in front of my grandparents who clapped me It was horrible though.

P.S I think you look great!!!!

i've had lots of comments..
' you don't look very pregnant' ( mmm think i was about 14 weeks gone..and the same again at about 24 weeks.. I was huge..yeah i really look like a size 10 still )

friend of the family who is trying for a baby (but still smokes canabis and drinks like it is going out of fashion) said to my DH ..'do you not know what a condom is?' WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ???????????????

Thats a bit hypocritical really isn't it Laughinglil???? Bloody people.

Essie that's awful! And i thought my nan was being a cow when she told me i looked 'swell'

A Tesco woman said she did not want me in her queue because I looked so big and she was scared I was going to give birth in front of her.

Essie you look fantastic and not at all big (apart from the obvious bump in the middle).

Oh had most of these and more

"Don't you have a telly?" on announcing number 3 was on it's way
"you won't be minding what you have after your loss last year"
"did you really want a boy" after saying we know it's DD
"are you going to keep going until you get a boy?" yes and shove the girls in the cupboard
"oh your SOOOOO neat"
"thats a boy/girl/monkey bump" delete as applicable
"where are you going to put it?"
"obviously an accident then?" both DD2 and DB3
"I said to you sister to buy you some condoms for your Christmas" MIL to DP.

My stepmother said to DP ..."oh and congratulations to you too - well at least we think it's yours"!!!!
He wasn't sure whether to be more insulted for himself or for me

Essie my lovely, you aren't fat in the slightest - I'm much bigger!

I bumped into an old colleague in a shop, he yelled "Wow! Fatso!" and then spent 10 minutes comparing being pregnant to being infected by parasites.

Im currently 33 weeks pregnant with my first...

few weeks ago.... guy says oh your pregnant, when you due?

July

oh next july?

mmmmmm NO!!!!!
Im not an elephant!!

This from a guy whos has 4 kids of his own so you think he'd have some idea!

Around the same time..
a mum asks when im due, i say 10 weeks time , OH! I thought you were going to say you were 3mths gone!

Do what!?
If i had a bump this size at 12 weeks id be very worried!!

The "best" is when you get told that you are sooo tiny (is there something wrong?) then soooo huge (will you make it that far?) within minutes of each other by random strangers!

I was asked today "How long to go?" "30 weeks" was my response.

"Oh so 10 weeks until you are due?"
"No I am only 10 weeks"

Then I got looked at like I have six heads and she walked off.

"stand sideways. oh, it's clearly a boy."
next week (same person) "stand sideways, oh it's clearly a girl."

repeat over and over for 20 weeks.

rather boring by the 4th time

Oh the ubiquitous 'you still here?'

Twats!

Ha ha had quite a few of these!

My old neighbour told me to hold out my hands, because I held them palm up, I was having a boy.

I was really lucky not to put on any weight and it was all just baby, so a very obvious bump, but I'm tall so didn't really show until 6 months. Because I was carrying in front and quite pointy, I was having a boy. My sister carried all three of hers in front and has three girls. I have a girl.

And the best was....me and DP aren't married and besides the usual "are you going to get married comments". Some colleagues on finding out I was pregnant "who's is it?" and "was it planned?" and my favourite......"oh I couldn't see a ring so I just thought you might be putting on a bit of weight". Very localised weight gain!!!!!

At my DH's granmas funeral, I was 8 months and obviously huge. My fingers had swollen up so I couldn't wear my wedding ring but I had it on a necklace so I was 'wearing' it. There were a couple who were very strict catholics who kept making snide comments about us not being married. After 2 hours DH snapped as he was very upset about his granma.

He yelled at them and stormed out of the pub where the wake was being held.

That's awful! Your poor DH.

Something I forgot, was going to my catholic cousins wedding when I was 5 months but DP couldn't make it. She said I was going to look like an audience member from the Jeremy Kyle show.....

Oh God don't get me started!!!!

The next person who says 'You still here?' to me is going to die a horrible death at my hands for sure..

Had everything on here pretty much too.

Oh it's late - must be a girl (it's a boy)

Must have been an accident (because it is our third)

You're tiny / huge (within 5 mins of each other)

You're only having this one because you want a boy (have two DDs)

God! You're not going to have that here are you? - my response 'why? Do you have an epidural handy?'

When are you due? '
Me: last week'
Oh God! Go home now!

You knock 'em out quick! (DD1 = 4. DD2 = 2

You're going to have a crappy sex life / flabby tummy / saggy boobs / be depressed (from MW / HV)

Haven't you learnt your lesson yet?

Your poor DH

Your poor DD2 - she's only a baby (2.1)

How will you cope with two in nappies

You must be loaded to be able to afford three

Don't you think it is pretty disgusting to have three children though?

I can't stand patting of bumps and random strangers who think it is fine to prod your newborn either.

Ahhhhh,, I feel better now

at what the mw and hv said!

why is it disgusting to have 3????
