After my first MC and then getting pregnant a few short weeks later - my boss said to me...

"My, you are fertile!"



Wow, how rude and insensitive! Chat Icon



I agree - I think this comment is one of the worst of all Chat Icon

Re: Things to NEVER say to a preggo

This is a convo I had with a complete stranger a couple of days b/4 I had my son.

Stranger: Aww, congratulations

Me: Thanks

Stranger: do you know what you're having?

Me: Yes a Boy.

Stranger: Oh I thought girl b/c you know they say when you're having a boy your belly only gets big and when you're having a girl you get big all over.

I just looked at her and walked away. If she wasn't an old lady I would've ripped her a new one.

*** is wrong with people? I was 38.5 weeks preggo what am I supposed to look like? You can never win. If you're small people will talk and say you're not eating enough, if you're big people will say you're pigging out. Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon

Also, my grandma tells me on an almost daily basis "I only gained 20 lbs with your dad and my feet only started swelling in the very last month." Chat Icon That was 50 years ago, who cares? Chat Icon

Re: Things to NEVER say to a preggo

my MIL means well and we really get along well, but she still slips with stupid comments and doesnt realize it.

With each pregnancy, she starts her EVERY DAY phone calls (yes every single day!!) of redundant stupid questions "how are you, how are the boys, how are you feeling, hows the baby in belly, anything yet? just small talk stupid questions that I CANT TAKEEEEEEEEEEEEE
I just go finefinefinefine in one big breath and she gets the hint quick Chat Icon

then the other day she called and she goes "SOOO, ya getting bigger every minute ???" how annoying Chat Icon

then when baby comes, come her phone calls EVERY DAYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
"how are you feeling, hows my grandson, are you getting any rest, i hope youre putting your feet up, and everythings ok ?"

OMGGG my family, we're just get to the point, no cute and pretty small talk !!!!!!!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
so needless to say my ringer will be turned off quite often in the next month Chat Icon Chat Icon
with my first pregnancy Id feel bad NOT picking up (and we didnt have caller ID back then) so Id pick up and cut her off from talking and go "fine fine yes yes fine fine yes yes yes", can ya tell we're up front with eachother Chat Icon

Re: Things to NEVER say to a preggo

The one that really annoys me is when SIL, who has 2 not-very-well-behaved kids, tells us: "See what you have to look forward to?" Or "You'd better have your fun now because it's all over soon." Sooooo annoying!!! I just want to say "It'll be different with us because my husband will actually help me" (unlike hers who won't lift a finger other than to smack his kids every once in awhile.)

Hahaha one of my brothers said something like "wow it's like you never had sex before trying to have kids" because we got PG the first try, M/C and then PG again before the first cycle...

Re: Things to NEVER say to a preggo

OK Last night gave me a new one to add- do people need to criticize EVERYTHING we do?

DH and I ordered burgers at this place in Manhasset, the guy who was eating salad and drinking wine at the bar comes over to me after DH goes to the bathroom and says " I wouldnt order hamburgers in your condition, you should have a salad"


W T F? Why is it any of your business and why are u paying attention to what I am ordering?

How does he know what you "should" be eating? Has he been preggo before? He "should" be minding his own business!!!!!!!

You must have been fuming! Because I am for you, LOL <<insert smiley with steam coming out of ears>>

This reminds me of the classic "are you supposed to be eating that" Chat Icon

I have a million additions to this list but I think that's because everything everyone says annoys me Chat Icon

Re: Things to NEVER say to a preggo

I can't believe how insensitive some people are!!!Chat Icon

So far I've gotten "Man, your boobs are huge!" (Like I didn't know that!)

A friend of mine got "You're carrying that baby in your azz."

How rude!
