I may be pregnant....BUT...

[sbell111]

I still have 3 more months...and I am tired of all the people who use it as a 'free for all' for anything they want to do or say...

Please...if you don't know me...don't touch my stomach. I just might grab some part of you in retaliation

No...I'm not having twins. I am sure...but thanks for telling me I look fat, anyways.

It is none of your business whether we 'planned this pregnancy' or not. Can I ask if your chest is fake??? Can I ask if you had plastic surgery? Boundaries...people...

Don't tell me I'm 'crazy' for having 3 kids. I'll tell you you are crazy for annoying me with your stupid questions.

There is much more...but this 'crazy, pregnant lady' needs a nap!

That is all...thank you for letting me vent!

Hormones are fun, huh?

Hormones? Really? Would you ever say things like that to a non pregnant woman?

I with ya! I'm expecting number 5! I can't stand it when people say "you are crazy" I hate that. I just want to say " No, I am not crazy, I'm just stable enough to handle 5 kids and you are obviously are not"

Hate when they ask if it was planned. For God's sake who "plans" on having a 5th kid?
Really hate when they ask if I know about birth control mad:) I am not going to get into a discussion about my religious beliefs or personal choices with you even if it was socially acceptable to ask me that question.

and why do they loves to ask "Whoaa, you're only 10 weeks? are you sure it's not twins, or triplets?" Does that make them feel good? It is my 5th kid. The muscles are shot, give me a break.

I actually know a family who has 9 kids, the first 8 were girls and the 9th was a boy.

When I was pregnant only people I knew touched my belly. I never had a stranger touch me. Now I did have a stranger rant at me for drinking a Pepsi. This person told me that I was killing my baby for drinking a caffienated beverage. So I proceded to tell her I was going to formula feed so I guess my baby was doomed and so I should be shot. She got up and moved away from me.

I don't know if you can "plan" having any kids as it is up to a greater power but I can say that we very much wanted a 5th child.

 

[talulabelle]

Told my neighbor yesterday that I was expecting and she said "Oh, no!"

"Umm, I'm sorry, but why would you say "oh, no!"?, In what way does my pregnancy affect you? Did I ask you to pay for it's college education? Will you be up at night with it when it is born? Why on earth would you say "Oh, no" when I am so happy about it?"

I very much want mine too. I was open to more kids from God and that is why am in this condition. I didn't "plan" it like "Oh, if I don't have a 5th kid with it the next year my life won't be complete" I was already more than blessed. I was open to more kids if God wanted me to have them however.

I have some friends with large families and they deal with that sort of thing a lot too. One of them has a few maternity t-shirts that are hilarious, one that says "we're not stopping until we get an ugly one" and another that says "We aren't trying to overpopulate the planet, just trying to out number the idiots"
I think she got them off of cafe press.

 

[SandrA9810]

all women are hormonal every month. But some how being pregnant justifies your attitude because some one can be so stupid with their comments. How can you expect any one to stay sane with some of these comments?

Although it's really interesting to hear stories of how men have hormone changes that affect their mood during the month.

 

[sbell111]

No, but having lived with a pregnant one for the bulk of the last two years, I can see the signs. Of course, I am assuming that the OP is not normally overdramatic. If that is a bad assumption, all bets are off.

LMAO... love it!

 

[MIGrandma]

It's amazing what people think they're entitled to, isn't it? To touch a woman's pregnant belly when they don't even know her? How rude. Heck, I didn't even touch my own DD's pregnant belly without asking!! She's my daughter, yes, but still has the right to not want me to touch her tummy if she so chooses. She let me touch, but I would always, always ask.

And it's nobody's business if you're having twins, or how many children you have. I wouldn't even give them an answer when they ask, I would just say "why on earth would you ask such a thing?"

Sorry you're having to deal with idiots.

 

[dogluva]

I have been pregnant six times and never had a stranger or someone other than family touch my stomach. I don't remember any rude comments even when I told them the last one was my sixth.

Enjoy your pregnancy.

Uh, she's still not being overdramatic. As you can see these are annoyances that almost all pregnant women go through. It's not ok to do and say these things and she is justly annoyed.

And, no, I'm not pregnant (nor do I have pms).

I normally let nothing get to me, lol. But I am like a tightly wound rubber band when pg...at least according to DH. And I am not touchy-feely anyway...so I dislike someone touching my body, even when not pg.

I guess my biggest vent during pg is that it seems 'filters' seem to fall off of people when they talk to a pg woman. If you wouldn't ask me 'non pg'...don't ask me just b/c I'm pg.

 

[redlight]

I've never been pregnant, but I have had strangers ask me when I was due. Huge blow to the self esteem.

 

[anniemae]

It's not just pregnancy that brings out the stupid people. We adopted dd and got some pretty insulting comments when people found out: "how could you love a child that isn't yours?" "Why are you adopting, can't you have your own child?" or my personal fav "what about her real mother?"

FOr some strange reason, people feel they can say anything to you when you are building your family, no matter how you choose to build it.

 

[jenrose66]

I think people feel a need to discuss a pregnancy and that is why they say stupid things...I mean they feel they need to acknowledge the situation but there's only so much you can say so they cross borders really fast.

I'm on my 3rd pregnancy. I've had lots of people give me tons of stupid comments along the "you know there's ways to prevent that" to "how are you going to afford that" especially since DS won't even be 2 when this baby is born.

I want to turn the uncomfortableness around on people so I will say yes I do know you can prevent pregnancy but my IUD failed thank you very much. Usually that gets people to shut up. I've been real touchy about this pregnancy, lots of times I will just tell people I don't want to talk about it and change the subject.

I mean don't get me wrong...it's taken me a long time to come to terms with this pregnancy...but we will love this little girl with all our hearts and are very excited for our new addition, it's just still quite overwhelming.

When I see a pregnant woman I don't know, I don't say anything about the pregnancy unless she brings it up. For family I'll ask about due date sex of the baby....but without giving any opinions advice...because it's none of my business.

 

[pooh98378]

My cousin got pregnant last year shortly after they were married (it was planned). My MIL always wanted to talk about the pregnancy, though. Here's how our conversation went:

MIL: Was it planned?
Me: Oh yes, they wanted kids very much.
MIL: Well I'm happy for them as long as it was planned.

So, she wouldn't have been happy if it wasn't planned? We don't have any kids yet, but I know we're going to be in for a fun time with her when he do.
