Worst comment you got while pregnant?

TeagansMom609 wrote: Well I didnt get any when I was pregnant with Teagan but I did with this last one.

1. I was standing at the kitchen counter at my in-laws house about to eat a sliver of cake my MIL made when she comes up behind me and says, "So do you think you gained more weight this time"? I said yes. She says, "Yea it really shows from the back". THANKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2. My boss comes in the kitchen at work while im eating lunch and says, "Eat now, because after that baby your going to be on a HUGE diet". WAS I REALLY THAT HUGE????

3. My Aunt held a birthday dinner at a restaraunt for my cousin who was turning 19. As I asked her to move her chair in a little bit so I could squeeze behind her to get to my seat she quivered and said, "Eww, pregnant stomachs are so gross, ugh." I CANT WAIT UNTIL SHE IS PREGNANT IM GOING TO TORTURE HER!

What rude comments did you get while pregnant?

PrairieMom replied: The majority of the comments I get now are from other prenant mommies that I work with.
I choose to be caffine free, so I brought some left over diet coke into work to give to my co workers. They asked me, why don't you drink it, and I repiled, because it has caffine in it.

the other two Pregnant ladies started laughing out loud at me. one was drinking a 20 oz mt dew, and the other was drinking a 20 oz diet coke.
How rude is that?! I don't judge THEM for drinking caffine, what gives them the right to judge ME for not?

BAC'sMom replied: I was at a local festival when I was pregnant with me first, and I ran into a friend of my parents. As soon as he saw me he yelled,” hey are you having a Clydesdale or what?” Everybody with end earshot stopped and starred at me, I was mortified.

mysweetpeasWil&Wes replied: Well you guys know my recent rude comment would have to be my best friend asking me whether DH and I would be okay having a second child. But as far as comments about me physically...let's see...maybe people saying that I don't look pregnant at all. Not necessarily rude, but not what I want to hear. And then the other time was when my FIL told me my hair looked really beautiful from the pregnancy, nice and shiny, but that my skin still looks blotchy like it always does (he said these exact words)! Oh and I was telling my MIL the other day that I'm showing smaller this time around and she said "well you still had a bit of baby fat on you when you got pregnant with Wil". I got PG with Wil at 29! How does one still have baby fat on them??? Only from my in-laws right?!

kimberley replied: the WORST thing anyone has ever said/done to me was when i was pg with Jacob. it was my first pg, i gained a lot of weight and was quite self conscious about it. we went to the ex (big fair) with some friends and i was about 7mos pg. my best friend's bf thought it would be hilarious to make that "truck backing up" beep every time i turned around or walked back to see something

i got the "oh my are you sure it's not twins" during my first 3pgs and the "oh you're having ANOTHER baby?!" comments.

PrairieMom replied: I'v got another one. When I was pregnant with The Boy, I had so much edema I couldn't wear my rings any more. The guy at the caffeteria linch counter aske me "Are you Pregnant?" (I was 7 months and HUGE at the time) "um... yeah"
Then he asked "Are you married?" What the Heck kind of a question is that? I was like "no, do you want to be my Baby's daddy? "

ediep replied: I remember being preg with jay at work and one of my coworker who I didn't know that well, came up to me and asked "what are you naming your baby?"
I said "Julianne is its a girl and jason if its a boy"
she replied "wow, I sure hope its a girl because I hate the name Jason"

Cece00 replied: I cant really think of any, though i've probably gotten some...I kind of just take that sort of stuff in stride plus I have a pretty good comeback when ppl say something out of place or stupid...

Just look @ them blankly for a minute and then say

"Wow, did you mean to say that out loud??"

and then walk away.

You should see the look on people's faces. They are usually so embarrassed after that

luvmykids replied:
lol

My worst was right after, my FIL came over our first day home from the hospital, looked me up and down and said "I thought you already had the kids?"

PrairieMom replied:
Nice!

luvbug00 replied: just. "how old ARE you??" ( add evil and discusted stares) I was 17 geeze had I not been threw enough already?

Kimberley, I got the truck noises too

kayla's mama replied: FIL called me piggy when we went out to eat. Of course DH didn't catch it. Thank goodness we didn't visit him often

mckayleesmom replied: I never got any .....The only thing similar or funny was when I was pregnant with Mckaylee...I seriously didn't show until I was 8 months pregnant...then all the sudden I grew really fast ( I have the stretch marks to prove my body was not prepared) and one day dh walked into the bathroom when I was soaking in the tub and said "you look like you swallowed a basketball overnight"

1lilpeanut2love replied:
Hey I don't blame you for not drinking caffeine either while being pregnant. When I was pregnant with my daughter I basically gave up caffeine too. Every once in while I would have a soda. Hardly ever though. I heard it was bad for the baby.

Neways people stared at me sometimes when I was pregnant, I had hypertension and was swelled up. I had to go to the Labor and Delivery Unit starting at 30-weeks twice a week every single week. Someone asked me how many babies I had in me and someone called me a whale. I was huge, but that was unneccessary to say. It just made me more self-conscious.

huggybugboy replied: The one thing that stuck out in my mind was when I was about 4 or 5 months pregnant. I was walking to my car after a long day of class. I was wearing flip flops and this older lady who is walking towards me, stops and says, "WOW, your feet look like they HURT!" I looked down and said, "Uh, not really." She asked how far along I was and then said, "Well you must be having twins." I said "nope just one." I was too tired to argue. My feet are just normally annoyingly fat. They werent swollen or anything. I should have told her: "Just wait till I'm 9 months along and cant even fit my feet into these flip flops!!!" (if only I'd known. )

Also, I went to a bead store a few weeks after finding out Miles was a boy and the lady says "Youre having a girl." I said, "nope, its a boy." She said "no, they're wrong, its definitely a girl. I'm never wrong." Whatever lady. I had so many people tell me I was either having twins or it was DEFINITELY a girl.

I'm so glad I only had one little miles.

CAMSMOM1 replied:

Oh I had the SAME comments! I had really bad edema...and my feet and hands were HUGE! My sister actually took pictures of my feet, because she has never seen that fat of feet. Thanks Sis! People would ask me if something was wrong with me, because of my fat feet.

I probably had at least 50 people (literally) ask me if I was having twins or triplets. Complete strangers would come up to me and ask how many babies I was expecting. One lady said, "Wow, if you're not having twins, then your baby must weigh 15 pounds!"

Someone once told me, "I know you have to eat for 2, but why are you eating for 4?"

At my baby shower, we played that "string" game, to guess the width of my stomach. My MIL said, "Just give me the whole roll of string, because she's huge!" And another lady said, "Are we measuring her butt too? Because if we are, I need ALOT more string!"

When I was 5 months pg, I had someone say to me, "You poor thing. Are you over due?" "No, I"m only 5 months pregnant." "I hate to see how big your stomach is at 9 months!"

And my friend asked me when I was 7 months pg, "Are you still able to drive? I can't imagine the seat going that far back!"

And the last one was when I showed my family my stomach, and my brother said, "Wow, with all those strech marks, it looks like you got attacked by a bear!"

Oh yeah, I'm looking forward to my next pregnancy!

PrairieMom replied: I forgot all the people that would watch me eat too. Expecailly my Father, (who is really prejudiced against obese people) He would say things like "are you sure you should be eating that " or "Aren't you watching what you are eating? " It was so frusteraing since I was always hungry, but was trying so hard to keep my soduim to under 2000 mg a day while still getting all my calories. (not easy)
My favorite one out of My fathers mouth was "I never thought my daughter would ever get THAT big!) Not the best thing to say to a starving swelled up pregnant woman! UGH!

ilovemybaby replied: I don't really remember any rude comments during my first pregnancy... my grandmother did tell me that I didn't need to eat so much after she saw how much I ate on Christmas Day. I just told her that I don't eat like that every day... it was Christmas Day!

I am 10 weeks pregnant now and getting married on Saturday and my mother keeps telling me to try and lose some weight or to diet or to only eat half of what I normally do.... she is worried I won't fit into the dress <_< on the day.
I just told her I'm not dieting or anything. I'm not risking my babys health.

The other night I told her that she obviously didn't eat enough when she was pregnant because she told me she could fit into a size 10 dress when she was 9 months pregnant. And my sister was born lighter than me. I was 7lbs 10oz and she was 6lbs something. She said she ate fine and that she just had a small frame. HA yeah whatever.

pinniy replied: Disturbing comments, ...let me think...(think think think)

Well, as you all know, I've had problems gaining weight with both pregnancies. However, when I DO gain weight, and Geoff is here, I'd ask him if I'm getting "fat." He'd reply with a, "No, you're just a little "sloppy." What do you expect, you're not running and working out like you did with Trei-Trei?" This coming from the guy who doubled my weight gain with Trei-Trei, and got all the stretch marks, while I didn't get any (knock on wood).

Just like you Kimberley, I got the, "You're pregnant, AGAIN?" Yeah, I am, and what of it? I wanted twins, didn't get 'em, so I figured this is the next best thing. Some would even go as far as saying, "You and your husband must REALLY like eachother." Sick! Like we're some type of nymphos. (sarcastic) Don't they realize, when you're trying, IT becomes like a chore?!

PrairieMom replied:
Does that mean that people put there with no children or far apart spaced children don't really like each other?!

pinniy replied:
No, but I forgot to mention, most of those comments were made by younger (usually minded, not age) single men, with no children. They basically have NO tact, and thought they were being funny. Ooops, I forgot to laugh!

Anyways, who says I DO like MY DH?!

Mommy2BAK replied: When I was preggo with Blakely, my mother took me furniture shopping and a lady working there (working off comission I presume) asked me how much longer I had to go until the baby was due. I replied "2 months" she then said "2 MONTHS??? Looks more like 2 weeks!!"

I could have killed her, and she did not get a sale out of us!

My3LilMonkeys replied:
This is possible BTW. My mom's friend is like a size 4 and she barely showed at all even right before delivery - if you didn't know she was PG you never would've guessed. She had an 8 lb boy and she and the baby were both perfectly healthy.

MyLuvBugs replied: #1. I was at work and I went to the bathroom. I'm washing my hands and this lady from a different dept comes out of a stall "WOW! You're getting big. Are you sure you're not having twins?" I was only 7 months PG at that time.

#2. I'm at the Dr. office on the table waiting for like my BILLIONTH check up at around 8 months. Dr. walks in and looks at my chart and says "Hmmmm. You've gained quite a bit of wait. You realize the more you put on the more there is to take off?" My thoughts were "NO! Really?!?! I wasn't aware of that you stupid....." well, the comments went down hill from there....

#3. This was from my own mother (of all people). I'd just had Lorelei (like a week after child birth), my hormones are CRAZY and I'm crying b/c I'm flabby in the middle. She says "Don't worry about it. You're body will never be the same after a kid anyway." WTH????

It just amazes me how STUPID people can be sometimes when they speak to others.

giffmom replied: I also got the twins one. a co-worker said are you sure that twins do not run in your husbands or your family, I just don't understand why she didn't just come out and ask. I am 23 yrs old and I get the how old are you all the time, I am on my 2nd child and he is only 2 yrs old is what I always reply because I hate hearing that stupid question.

Edward's Mommy replied: I worked at a magazine store and I was just beginning to get a belly and some older guy looked at me and said, "Gee, little girl, you better lay off the cheesecake." And I was like, "I'm pregnant." and he said, "wow, you're really gaining weight."

Then one day, I was shopping at Wal-mart and this lady came up to me and said "Aren't you a little young to be having a baby? What are you, like, 15?" And looked at her and said, "Actually, I'm 21." and she said "Well, you look 15. I waited to have my kids. I had my first at 35." and I was so mad about her comment that I said, "Yeah, it shows." and I walked away.

Then I had another guy come up to me and ask, "are you having a baby or an elephant?" and I said "I'm having a whale." and stormed off.

Not to mention all the dirty looks I used to get from people when I was hugely pregnant.

C&K*s Mommie replied: we got the 's shocked looks when we were PG with Kellie. Because our girls are 17mos apart (to the day). There were countless surprised looks and even more comments people (strangers) made when we told them we were going to have two children close in age.

You would have thought it was a carnal sin to have kids close like that!

Bee_Kay replied: The worst comment about pregnancy that I recieved was AFTER I had my son.

I gained ALOT of weight with him. So, when he was about 1 - 2 months old, I went out for a couple hours with some friends.

While we were out, I ran into a girl that I knew (she was such a b**ch) in highschool. She came up to me and said "I heard you were pregnant, when are you due?"

I wanted to slap that b**ch silly but was so shocked at what she said, I just remained sweet as h*ll and commented "Oh, I had him a couple months ago, thanks for asking .... by the way, I heard you had you nose done.... you really should have paid more" and then I smiled my sweetest smile and walked away and left her standing there with her jaw hanging down to the floor.

LOL! My friends laughed and said to me "You have a knack of being such a b**ch, but you do it so nicely".

Chiflata2003 replied: The only comment I received while pregnant with my dd was I was visiting my grandma and we sat down to have dinner. I just started eating and she said something about I dont need to eat too much or I'll have a fat baby. She was 7 pounds 11 oz.

LovinMyGirls replied: My first pregnancy was the ..how old are you? She's just a kid having a kid!

With Natalie..I was huge and got the "are you sure it's just one baby" "Wow! how far along are you?" "Looks like you're gonna pop any minute"
