Today a guy at the grocery store asked me if I was having twins. When I told him no, he looked completely shocked. I could've kicked him! What insensitive comments have ppl made to you when you were pregnant?

Let's see. I was 17 when I got pregnant (first strike) I wasn't married (second strike) I didn't have a job (third strike). I constantly recieved comments about what a shame it was that I was pregnant and how my child was going to grow up on welfare and without a father. I still get looks and comments when I go to walmart with my children (I now have a second daughter). The strange thing was, My fiance was working a lot when I was pregnant (the reason he wasn't with me everywhere i went). We've NEVER been on welfare. My fiance (he fathered BOTH my children) and I are getting married next year. We both have great jobs (He's a supervisor in a foundry and I do data entry) just bought 2 new cars, and we're getting a house in a year or 2. Not doing too bad for a single teen mom don't you say? lol
Sorry...lol I tend to get too into this.

The worst is when you are not even pregnant and someone asks you when you are due! But I sympathize with you, because people are insensitive. I remember someone asking me too if I was having twins, or better yet if i was having a boy because apparently my butt was too big, a sure sign of a boy to this person. How rude! Just brush it off, maybe kicking some shin wouldn't hurt either. LOL

A lady at work told me that I am so big that I am going to have to have somebody pull me around in a wagon! How rude. And she is a very large woman. I think she thought she was being cute, but i didn't think so. I also had the twin question, even though I'm not having twins.

My husband was in the military (Navy) during both of my pregnancies. I think the comment I heard the most from his co-workers was that Hubby should paint "BLIMP" on my sides. I always replied that I hoped that they weren't thinking about becoming fathers at any time. When one guy actually asked me why, I replied that the number of insensitive stupid people in the world was already too high, we didn't need that type procreating. I never heard a word about "Blimp" during my second pregnancy! ;-)

I experienced the same thing when a girl at toysRus asked me if I was having twins. I also had a guy tell me he could see my face filling out. People really need to learn what not to say to a pregnant women. We are already oversensitive and most worry about their weight.

Not too many in "real life," but I run into a lot of idiotic people here in Yahoo Answers, like this one yesterday when I asked about a certain medication that my doctor had just put me on:
"you're pregnant and on meds?
i am sure your deformed baby will thank you for that."
Nice. Real mature.

I had my daughter this previous January.. and my being pregnant it substitute right into a sprint different from you.. for me it substitute into not often noticable that i substitute into pregnant till i substitute into in my third trimester, and then all human beings theory i substitute into in basic terms 5 or 6 months alongside.. so as that variety into humiliating.... and then on appropriate of that.. I had human beings telling me the way i substitute into donning .. that i substitute into going to have a boy.. or perhaps when I advised them the first practitioner has shown it's going to be a woman.. they nevertheless theory i'd have a boy.. *rolls eyes* Then there have been the loopy people who merely theory they might arise and rub my abdomen ! fairly strangers popping out and doing it.. that extremely freaked me out. contained in the top.. my hormones have been raging too.. and so I picked my victims intently.. if it substitute into some stranger that got here up and did it.. I merely advised them what i substitute into thinking.. if it substitute into kinfolk or buddy, then i'd merely do away with their hand gently or back up and advised them i'd particularly no longer be touched.. some peopel have been indignant.. I won't lie.. yet I determine if I grin and undergo it.. then they're going to do it each and all of the time for all my pregnancies. To make issues worse.. I had 2 miscarriages till now this being pregnant and all human beings had to deliver that historic past as much as boot.. all human beings is ill and dumb.. and nil.5 the time they do no longer think of.. yet whilst every person irritates you.. merely think of to your self.. "they are too DUMB to be attentive to to any extent further suitable." Then excuse your self and enable it pass.. have confidence me .. do no longer burn any bridges over this during your being pregnant.. human beings may be sensative.. of course if it extremely is a stranger doing this nonsense.. i'd merely set them as we communicate and enable all of it out. sturdy success with your being pregnant. My maximum suitable needs !

This isn't actually my story, it is my friend's who is due in 6 weeks. A lady she works with told her that if it's a boy you dont lose your beauty, but if it' a girl, a girl will take away your beauty. So at first she was like, "oh you are definately having a boy, you are so beautiful still." And then some days she's like, "mmmm, I dont know maybe it is a girl." And my friend is like, oh great thanks, are you telling me I'm ugly now?
