Let’s bitch here. After all, pregnancy is the time for unwanted comments!

Obviously people commenting about my pregnancy really grinds my gears. I can remember a few gems from last go round:
1. Girrrrrrl you are getting big!
2. You sure there’s just one in there?
3. You’re due in April? You are about to pop! (Said in November)

I will be back with some other bitching later I'm sure. But for now, these beauties.
From last time, some random lady at the gym: Yeah, I could tell it's a girl, with boys you just carry in front, with girls you get big all over.
And at Costco, 3 days before I delivered: "Is it triplets?!?!"

Not pregnancy related, but being a working mum related - from earlier today (fresh rage):
“I am aware that you’re at home today but you really need to call this new client about this random file I surprised you with yesterday afternoon, who is in a time zone 16 hours behind you, so hop to it.”
Okay, let me call a new client in a different country while I sit here filing my nails... oh wait im not just relaxing, I have a 2 year old with me who assumes everyone on the phone is grandma and yells to let them know what she ate for breakfast.

Question I like: "Is this your first? Second?" LOL, no, third. They are always so surprised. I can't wait to see the faces when I'm on my fourth.

I remember getting annoyed by the daily “you’re sill here?” Or “no baby yet?!”
Nope. Not due for two months. STFU.

I haven't gone more than two days without being asked if I'm having twins since I was about 6 weeks pregnant. I am already so over it.

One co-worker has been badgering me for weeks asking if I'm pregnant. I finally announced this week and she, of course, already knew. Then looked me up and down saying it'll be a girl.
Last pregnancy at 37 weeks I met a substitute for the first time and she told me that I must be having twins because I'm so big. She was rather insistent that the doctors must have missed one the whole time. Nope, just one giant baby.

Not pregnancy related but thanks so much children's hospital for sending me an email 13 days before surgery, with Thanksgiving in the middle, that my child needs a physical before surgery. Her pediatrician's was like uh..... we're booked. Luckily they can squeeze us in but come on.

Oy, to all of these.
I was settling down to write my notes the other day and grabbed a handful of crackers to munch on. One of my coworkers leaned over and stage whispered "Are you pregnant??" I just looked at her and shrugged. I'm not ready to be out yet, yo! Maybe I just really like crackers!

She’s fine, she just has a large birthmark on her leg that we’re having removed because it’s growing rapidly. |

To be fair, it said was after I said I wish I had cute bump because I feel like mine is more like a saggy boob.
Then we had a talk about how it's okay for only me to make those comments and not to forget that I'm in the medical field and know how to make it look like an accident.

Oh I have a new one that's rude AF since I just announced on FB: People asking if a baby was planned.
We weren't open with many people about our struggles TTC, but even if the baby wasn't planned, it's none of anyone's business. I mean we've had comments in the past by the same people about how we're lucky to only have one since DS is so busy.
There's got to be a list somewhere of things you don't say to women (pregnant or not) regarding GKU/pregnancy.

Which is terrible thing to ask me when I have enough pregnancy hormones to make me want to gut you for insinuating that I may not love my child. And like you said it's no one's business anyway whether I was HIO or got knocked up. |

I had my 16 week appointment this morning, and the office sent me to the lab after to have the test done for spina bifida. We have to use a specific lab because it’s also affiliated with both the practice and the hospital. The office is 30 minutes away from my house, and the lab is an extra 10 minutes past the office.
My appointment was done at 12:30, and I know that the lab usually closes for lunch from 12:30 to 1, so I killed some time and just arrived at the lab at one. Well, they closed at 9:30 this morning for the holiday, and they’re going to close at 9:30 again on Friday. So, I guess I’m going to have to drive up here again Friday morning to try and get it done before I go back to work on Monday.

I hate the “were you guys trying?”
Like what? Now that I’m pregnant you can just ask about my sex life like that?
The nerve.

shortskirtlongjacket , on a slightly related note, my brain went off on a tangent a few years back when yet another of my friends announced their pregnancy, and I realized that a pregnancy announcement is just a fancy way of saying "I had sex! Look at the products of my sex!". And now I can never look at pregnancy announcements the same way XD ETA - Obvs I know it does happen other ways, but as a general rule lol

I went today to visit at my old work. Some people already knew I'm pregnant, and some people didn't know yet. So I was mentioning my ultrasound and one of the ones who didn't know heard and asked and I said "I'm pregnant!" And she was all excited and gave me a hug.
She then turned to another girl (who had been talking to someone else and not paying attention to the conversation) and said "did you hear? M is pregnant!"
So the other girl looks at me and goes "are you sure this time?" Uhhh, wtf? Way to be salty. Yeah, I'm pretty sure I saw baby bouncing around, but idk, maybe me, H, and the u/s tech all had a mass hallucination...
