I agree on all except the first two. It was a struggle to get and stay pregnant, so I can repeat my due date and baby’s gender 1000 times a day without being annoyed. But, comment about my size, and I might clobber you.

Ugh, I made it to my 8th month without anyone saying anything rude (well, aside from my husband’s cousins who are just rude people; they told me they will intentionally mispronounce my baby’s name- Isla- because they hate it), but now I’m getting a lot of these. Got the “you look tired” at my own baby shower, when I actually WAS thinking I looked decent, and the twins comment coupled with the ‘you’re going to have a huge baby’ at the grocery store (according to doc, my baby will be perfectly average sized, thankyouverymuch). I don’t mind the gender and due date stuff, I usually think those questions are a safe zone for people who want to comment but don’t want to insult. But as far as looks go, anything other than some variation of ‘you look beautiful’ is totally unacceptable. A girl at the farmers market this weekend told me I looked beautiful, and I nearly started crying because it was such a nice thing to say (and most other strangers have been rude or tried to run me over with their cars or cut in front of me in line). That girl singlehandedly restored a tiny bit of my faith in other humans.

I’m only 8 weeks and I’m already sick of people asking me should I be doing/eating/using that?

Oooh, I’m wholeheartedly behind the “Sleep now, while you can.” Funny thing is, I hear it more from women (and women who already have children), than I do from anyone else. It’s like the least funny inside joke ever. Yeah, I can’t get comfortable, wake several times a night to pee and frequently have raging heartburn – I’m sleeping great right now!

I’ve gotten almost all of these! People can be so rude! I was in the pet store with my boyfriend, I had a question about a toy for our dog that chews threw everything except her Kong toy. But, she really likes rope toys and it’s quite bothersome trying to pick up peices of it off the floor when you can’t see your own feet. Anyway I walk up to the saleswoman and she automatically says “Oh wow! Your about to Pop your having twin boys I assume?” I reply to her dumbfounded. “One boy and not quite I have two months to go.” She says “You sure it’s only one? and I thnk they have your Due date wrong!” I was mortified. I replied “pretty sure it’s only one and I think my doctor knows how to count.” She show’s me a toy that should be okay for my dog and walks off. I thnk the worst part of being pregnant yes including the morning sickness that never goes away and the AWFUL heartburn that never stops is when people make comments like these.
