Not to me, but someone at work told our co-worker "dont worry, your face will slim down after you give birth"

people are just jealous!

people are just jealous!

it is a bit much

"you're not gonna have that now are you" was said to me when i got onto my seat on the train and pretty much collapsed in it. During the summer months when you're 7 mos pregnant walking 5 city blocks & the length of a train platform can seem like a marathon. Needless to say he got a look & a "ummm NO"... hmmpff everyone's a comedian (or an idiot)!

The man I supervised looked at me a few weeks ago (just starting month 7) and said "you're sure you're not having twins?" I was flabbergasted and thought he was joking until he persisted. Made me want to take away the raise I gave him the day before. (Evidently I'm still annoyed.)

That's why when I see a women that looks pregnant I keep my mouth shot because you never know if she is pregnant or not.

I got the twins comment a couple of weeks before I was due.
Also, when I told my boss I was pregnant a co-worker was standing with us, and when my boss said he knew (I was at least 5 months in) my friend said, "Really? I would have thought she was just getting fat"!

No one has made comments about my weight yet. What gets on my nerves is when i tell peopel i plan on returning to work after 4 months and they say "oh yeah right, you just don't know what you are talking about, you are going to end up being a stay at home mom", I'm sorry but i think i know what i want to do and staying at home is just not something i'm interested in.

I've gotten these all from the same maintainance man for our building.

(at 4 1/2 months)
"I know it's going to be a girl because you look so tired and pale..."
I'm sorry what?!?! And as a black woman - how pale can I really get? Plus it's winter!
I was sooo happy when I found out it was a boy - HA!

(at 6 months)
"Oh, the baby kept you up last night kicking? You look so tired"
(I was just walking into the building feeling totally cute and put together)

(at 8 1/2 months)
"You shouldn't walk like that"
ummmmmmm....how else should I walk when I feel like my hip is trying to seperate itself from my body!?

Other random comments have included: "Doesn't caffiene hurt the baby?" (while drinking a cup of tea)
"Are you sure it's ok for you to [insert normal everyday activity here i.e walk, eat a cookie, dance at a friend's wedding, drive my car]"

How about,

"When you lay eyes on that baby, you will lover him/her so much you won't want to come back to work."

In other words, if I return after maternity leave:

I saw my baby, DIDN'T LOVE HIM/HER THAT MUCH, so I came back to work. Nice.

And, can I add. . .

No one says that stuff to my husband. In fact, when he returns to work, people don't even ask him if he misses the baby.

I don't think "You can tell it's a boy/girl by the way you're carrying" are all that bad. Just funny.

The one I hated, especially this last time, was "I bet you're hoping for a girl" type comments. No, I'm wasn't hoping for anything but a healthy baby. Just because I have two boys doesn't mean I can't want another. The worst was when I answered "No, I don't care either way" and people would say "Right. Of course you want it to be a girl!" And of course once she was born, now we get "Now you can admit you wanted a girl all along." Makes me want to bang my head into a wall.

I agree about the work comments, too.

I always wanted the twins comment or "you look ready to pop!" comments. My dream was always to be HUGELY pregnant. I was bigger than ever with my daughter, but still not huge.

I got the twins comment once or twice. People who haven't been pregnant just do not realize how big many women get during those last 1-2 months. Even when the false rumors went around that Angelina Jolie had her babies early (what was it - about a month before she actualy had them?) people on PopSugar would comment "I knew she would have them soon. How much bigger could she get??"!

One lady at my office takes the cake for inappropriate comments. She has fountains of them, all the time. She asked me if I was pregnant with this baby (#2) before I'd announced I was pregnant. One I recall - [at 7 months] "I bet you're ready to get your figure back."

I agree about size, bessa. With Christina Aguilera and Halle Barry, Pop had a ton of "She's HUGE!!" comments and neither one of them were all that big.

My friend kept getting "Jeez how many are you going to have?!" on baby #4 (her last). She said that almost every person that knew them just commented on how they have an ungodly amount of kids now ... no one congratulated them!!!
I mentioned her pregnancy to a mutual friend and he commented "Gah how many is that for them now?" ... and he has 4 himself!

I did have twins and people said all types of things to me. One woman said that I looked like I was going to pop. One guy asked is that a real, referring to my belly. One man would see me on the train everyday and would say twins to me, repeatedly!

After my friend found out she was having her third boy, someone said "Oh my god. Don't you just want to kill yourself?"

She said, "ummmm, no."

When I walked into the DMV this guy who worked there asked "Ma'am can you please leave the basketball outside?"

In my 8th month a man biking by called out "Looks like someone swallowed a watermelon!"

The wife of one of our friend who was pregnant and due within a few days of me said "don't take this wrong, but you make me feel really good about my myself and my weight gain". It was my second baby and I was noticeably pregnant by week 7, this was week 13 when she said that.

I only gained like 25 pounds the whole pregnancy but I am short wasted and had no where to go but out. I got the are you sure it's not twins thing ALL THE TIME. I just finally gave up and said "nope, I just make 'em big".

I am currently 12 weeks pregnant with my 2nd child. I haven't received any comments yet, but when a couple of men I work with found out they actually tried to lift my shirt and look at my stomach! So weird.

When I got pregnant a fourth time everyone alive decided that they got to comment...and all negatively. Everyone somehow had decided for us that we were not allowed to have a fourth child. Not one person said one nice thing. One of my husband's friends said, "If you can't afford an abortion how will you afford the child." So, that was definitely the worst.

oh how awful keiren!

Just last week, I went to get my 18 month old's hair cut and the hairdresser looks at me and says..."Oh..I'm not sure if I should...but you must get this a lot. Are you pregnant?" I was a bit taken aback as I'm very CLEARLY pregnant. I'm 35 weeks and have the roundest belly... So I said "Yeah, due in 6 weeks." And she replied "Oh, it's hard to tell..." I'll admit that in some cases, some women don't show at all, but honestly, it's not my case. So...that was a bit rude according to me.

My husband's grandmother (who hates me, incase it's not obvious after my story is over) looked at me when I was about 12 weeks along, and told me "You look huge, like you're 5 months along already, are you sure you're not having twins?" (and smirked)!!! I didn't even start showing until I was 6 months along, as I'm very tall, so the baby had a lot of room to hide. I couldn't believe it!!!!

From reading the comments, I'm amazed at how rude some people are. Isn't it one of the major etiquette rules to NEVER comment on a pregnant woman's size? The only things I ever say to pregnant women is "Congratulations", "You looks radiant", "You must be so happy", etc. If I were pregnant and got a rude comment, I'd use my hormones as an excuse to say something b*tchy in return.

I have gotten:

"Wow- That is a BIG baby in there"

"Wow- You look like you're about to pop' I still had 6 weeks left.

I've gotten the carrying on the side/girl thing too.

But my FAVORITE:

As I was drinking a container of milk one during our office birthday celebration an intelligent (so I thought), older, male, co-worker said to me across the conference room table "Are you taking it in so you can give it out later" and he made a gesture from his chest area signifying where I would be "giving it out" from.

EWWWWWWWW!

omg people are so stupid. i'd always get co-workers trying to rub my belly, i dont really remember any rude comments, but if anybody said anything like what they said to you ladies, i'd totally b*tch them out!

A crowd of neighbors were guessing the sex of my baby, and one guy said he thought my baby would be a hermaphrodite. I got upset because I am of "advanced maternal age", and I had been worrying about the baby's health. This person was furious right back at me, and when I went to sit down said, "By the way, THAT'S my chair." Everyone else thought it was odd that I was upset, even stating that I was "hormonal". Needless to say, I stay away from that particular set of neighbors these days!
