Do people feel that they can say anything they want to you when you are pregnant?
I take the train every day and some guy I didn't recognize comes over to me this morning and asks me if I am having twins.
I answered no - just one.
Then he's like - oh, you are due soon?
I then tell him I am due in December.
His response - oh, you are big!
It was weird - we weren't walking together - he rushed to catch up with me and asked - and it's not like I know him or anything so why would he care?

Re: Do people feel that they can say anything they want to you when you are pregnant?
Seems to be the case.
However, I've seen too many stories/lifetime movies about people trying to steal babies of pregnant women that I always tell strangers that I am due later then I really am (I'm crazy, I know). So, I am used to the "you are really big" comments.
That guy rushing up to you is just weird.

I am surprised by all the comments I get like that. On the one hand I am glad that it's obvious i'm pregnant but I really don't think I am that large. I mean, for 27 weeks pregnant you're going to look pretty pregnant right? I got this yesterday, "wow, soon for you, huh? Me: "I'm due in december". Random person: "OH, you've still got a LONG way to go". I get this pretty much daily. I don't get it because even women that have been pregnant say that to me.

well thats weird about the guy rushing up to you, but yes..people say crazy sh** all the time.
the conductors on NJ transit a few times jokingly ask me for 2 tickets..LOL
i get the "from behind you dont look pregnant, but when you turn around..whoa ...you're out there.." stuff.
people need filters on their mouths!!

i don't get comments from strangers. i find it strange that so many people on LIF post that they do! it's just never happened to me.
but people at work are not shy and say whatever they want to me even when i'm not pregnant! they are like that with everyone so i am not special

I forgot about that - some lady did say that to me one day when I held the door from her coming out of the Carters store (she had her 12 week old).

I get this too... I am 28 weeks and due early December. I think for a lot of people 'December' just sounds so far away when it's really not. I have a friend that is due November 30th (monday) - I am due December 4 (that friday) and we get totally different reactions, even when they ask us both at the same time. She gets the "oh, getting close" and I get "wow, you have some time". I laugh bc techinally we are in the same week and due 4 days apart. It's just when they hear December they think Christmas and it being a while away. I wish people would just say "thats nice" and shut up about it..
We also get comments on the name we picked. It's a little popular right now and everyone feels the need to say something about how many kids are going to share her name, etc. We know that but we don't care. thats the name we love and the one we are going with! ANd some people just come right out and say "oh, I don't like that name"  Even if I thought the persons name was HORRIBLE I would NEVER say that to someone!!
