When 3 people tell you...

...that you don't look good, what are you supposed to think?

Yesterday THREE people told me that I don't look good. They just came right out and said "You don't look good, do you feel OK?" The first two got away with it, but finally I said to the third person "Gee, as if I didn't feel enough like crapola. Good thing I put on make up today!" She looked as if she wanted to crawl under a rock.

Re: When 3 people tell you...

Im sure you looked good and not the best that you normally look...so they were confused.


Some people are just WAY to honest...SCREW them!!!

Re: When 3 people tell you...

i'm sure u loook great!!! i dont understand why people sudden feel obligated to tell u how u look all the time just b/c u r pregnant. is there a manual somewhere that i am not aware of?????

Re: When 3 people tell you...

Steph I feel your pain. This entire week everyone keep saying things like "don't take this the wrong way, but you don't look good. Do you feel ok?"

I guess we just look tired, but still fabulous - it happens in the 3rd tri!!! I feel like I'm slowing down a bit!

Re: When 3 people tell you...

You should remind people that you're 8 months pregnant, how good do they think they would look?

Re: When 3 people tell you...

Thanks everybody

I dont know how they expect me to look when I stood waiting for a bus for 15 minutes, I was standing on for 20 minutes because nobody gets up, waited for the train for 10 minutes and stood on a packed train for another 10, then walked 4 blocks.

ETS: AND, like Nicole said, I am 8 months preggo and gained over 35 lbs

I'll stop complaining. Today was much better. AND, I put NO effort into my appearance, didn't put on any make up and not one person has commented on how bad I look.

Re: When 3 people tell you...

I have been told that,,, and It wasnt meant that I look horrible it was meant more like,,are you feeling okay??
you dont look yourself...

I took it as they were concerned..not being rude..

Re: When 3 people tell you...

I get that all the time lately Steph, but I think its because I just look reallly worn out and tired lately.. mostly because I AM worn out and tired..!

I do tend to think a comment like this is more out of concern than negativity but still when you already are feeling kind of 'bleh' it really doesn't help either..

We're in the home stretch, hang in there (that is what I keep reminding myself alll the time !!)

Re: When 3 people tell you...

That is pretty rude. I don't think it's true, either. I thought you were glowing at the book club meeting!

Re: When 3 people tell you...

people are so rude I have had days where I cried because saying were saying some horrible things. I have learned to ignore it though...what do they expect...you are growing another human being inside of you

Re: When 3 people tell you...

When I was in my last trimester I rarely put makeup on and if I dont have any on I looked tired and sick. So I heard that alot.
