What are some things that people say or do that annoy you?
I was surprised at how many people do this & it seems that once you get preg, people feel they have the right to know EVERYTHING..
I hate:
Was it planned?
How much weight have you gained?
Will you breastfeed?
& I hate when people grab at my belly when I don't even have an obvious bump yet!!
I was going to post as my FB status - "Questions that are rude to ask a pregnant woman are.. " but then was afraid that I would be the rude one.. lol

Re: What are some things that people say or do that annoy you?
Since I have been back to work, apparently I am larger than people think I should be. It's my first baby, and I "popped" pretty early. Not huge, just a belly. They keep asking if it's twins.
I also have requests from family to show them pictures of my belly. I know I am out of state and they want to be included, but I am not comfortable with that right now,and I just politely decline. But they just don't stop. I'm at the point where I'm just going to pull pictures off of Google and send them to them everyday...all day... and just hope that they get the hint.

Re: What are some things that people say or do that annoy you?
With my first preg i was HUGE... so i got alot of "are you sure your not having twins?" and "are you enjoying food alittle too much?".... my family tended to bug me everyday to find out when i was going to stop working because i worked nights and worked alone...
now with this preg because ds is so young (he is now 11m... but was 7 ms when i found out) i get alot of "i hope you have a girl this time becuase then you will be done" and "wow, was that planned".....

that any my DOCTOR (how i no longer use) looked at my sono at 32 weeks... saw how big ds was estimated at and told me i should consider taking smoking up for the remainer of my pregnancy.. one of the many reasons i would tell everyone to never use that ob

Are you done after this??????????? NONE OF YOUR FLIPPING BUSINESS?
Was it planned? SHOULD I HAVE SENT OUT TTC CARDS?
Oh, you already have one of each, it doesn't matter what you have. DID IT EVER MATTER? 3 OF EACH ARE FINE TO ME, JUST PRAYING FOR A HEALTHY BABY.

That's so true! People ask but they don't really want to hear the answer.

Both DH and I are only children and we're ok
I get sick of the how are you feeling - am I supposed to be feeling miserable?
I'm pretty much all belly but, when DH goes to work and I don't see him for a day or two or when I see my mom - you've gotten so much bigger!
I've gotten the "are you sure there's only one in there?" as well - hate it!

Re: What are some things that people say or do that annoy you?
"Are you finding out?"- and when i answer no, they get annoyed.
I actually hate when people tell me how small i am for 28wks. I know that should be a compliment, esp compared to, "OMG youre huge" or something, but i get paranoid when they say how small i am too.

I could have written this myself, I'm 24 weeks and getting nervous that the baby is too small or something because of people's comments.

Re: What are some things that people say or do that annoy you?
The one that has bothered me the most lately is from some of my friends. I posted a picture on my facebook and got some bad comments.
"Wow, that is the biggest belly I have ever seen"....That one bothered me the most.
"I think you are eating too much"....
"I can't believe how big you got, I only saw you two weeks ago"
Most of the comments are form people who never had babies.
My friends who just had a baby all had sweet things to say....
Some people just don't know when to shut up....

I feel bad - I did that to someone and I guess she gets it a lot. She's due 6 days after me and made me feel like a whale - I am big for 23 1/2 weeks but, it's all belly. I didn't mean for it to make her feel uncomfortable or paranoid but, I think I did.

Re: What are some things that people say or do that annoy you?
The one that really grates on my nerves is when I'm out with DD (like everyday), who is almost 18 mos., and some stranger looks at my belly and says:
"wow, you're gonna have your hands full"
"you're really in for it" or
"good luck - you're gonna need it"
Thanks for all the gratuitous comments - it's not like I'm nervous enough as it is to be a mom of 2 under 2. I hate those people.
