People are now saying inappropriate things to me!

The ones I've heard in the past few days are:

1) I think you're having a girl, because you got big all over!!

2) You look kind of dike-ish. It must be a girl.

3) You really haven't gotten that big. (This sounds like it should be a compliment, but I had to say to myself as I looked in the mirror later -- YOU MEAN I WAS THIS BIG BEFORE???)

I know they aren't trying to be hurtful, it's just kind of unbelievable what they think is okay to say to a PG lady.

it's so funny, these comments don't bother me at all!

i used to get "nice hair day", "you look pale", "did you get dressed in the dark?" all the time prior to getting pregnant. i didn't find them rude, i find them true Chat Icon ! one does not look 100% all of the time...

now that i am pregnant i know i have rounded out, but that is to be expected! if someone wants to comment on it, in my case they are speaking the truth Chat Icon .

People have no idea how what they say comes across. Don't let anyone make you feel bad!

That is the absolute worse. People say the dumbest and most stupidest things! I always try to have a smart *** remark to say in return.

Re: People are now saying inappropriate things to me!

NO! It's good! I can't wait for people to say things like that to me. My husband and I have been trying for 3 years to get pregnant. I can't wait for morning sickness and getting big and fat with a baby growing inside me and being tired and the sore boobs.
I'm sorry though if someone offended you. Just brush it off. I think people think that they are trying to be nice and don't realize how awful they sound!
