what's the worst pregnany compliment you ever got?

Question

Stupid inlaws...you told me at 6 months..."you look the same, but your face got fat!" WTH...My face, what about my basketball stomach you twit! lol...let me know

Answer 1

I have to go with the one I got with this pregnancy. I was about 28 weeks pregnant. My husband and I went to visit some friends. At that time we didn't know the gender of our baby because he refused to show. I am carrying him higher then I did with my first son. My friend put her hands on my belly and said you are having a girl aren't you. I told her I didn't know yet. She said well it better be a girl because you are carrying so high. If it isn't a girl then your boy will be gay. The she proceeded to tell me I was fat and would never be able to lose the baby weight. (Mind you I am 34 weeks now and have only gained 28 lbs)

But I have to say that was the worst and I was ready to kill her. My husband sensed my anger and made a comment of how we had to leave he forgot he had to do something.

Answer 2

Awwww, that sucks. I think people don't realize that the rules of politeness still apply when you are talking to a pregnant woman!

The worst I got with my son was "You look like you swallowed a beachball!" People used to say that to me all the time like it was a *compliment*!

The worst I've got this time was actually just yesterday some guy at the gas station saw me and said "Wow! You look like you're about to pop! What are you, a million months pregnant?!"

I'm 22 weeks 3 days, and I've actually LOST 30 pounds this pregnancy...thank you *VERY* much! LoL

Answer 3

I hate when people always come up to me and ask if I'm having twins, or if I'm due to give birth any day. (I'm only 30 weeks.)

My co-workers like to say that I look like a potato on toothpicks. That's not very nice. I lost about twenty pounds earlier in my pregnancy, because of HG. So, virtually all my body fat got sucked from my butt, thighs, etc. and got centered to my belly.

On a postive note, when I was at the store the other day, some lady was asking about my pregnancy, and a random guy in a Papa John's uniform came up to me and said, "Well, pregnant or not, I think you're gorgeous and sexy." THAT COMMENT, however rude it was at the time, did actually make my day.

Answer 4

I was told by my dad that he never thought I'd work until the birth. He thought I'd take the excuse to not work and just sit on my butt. I think he was trying to compliment me on my dedication to my work, but it just insulted me to no end. I've never been a lazy person, but it made it sound like he thought I was.

My former boss had her daughter about a month before I had my son. She was at the gas station about a month and a half after the birth of her daughter and the attendant asked her why she hadn't had her baby yet! I was flabbergasted. She didn't still look pregnant to me!

Answer 5

I didn't really get any bad pregnancy comments.. but when my son was about 4 months old.. and I was out shopping and some younger girl came up to me and said she loved my shirt.. it was white.. bebe. I said "I have the matching white pants, but I cant wear them right now." Meaning I was on my period.. but she replied " dont worry you'll look better next year." I was astonished. I weigh about 103, I am about 7 lbs heavier than before I had my son, but I didn't think i looked THAT bad.. I almost cried.

Answer 6

When a male co-worker said, "wow, you're already starting to show" and I was only 5 weeks pregnant with my first. I had NO pregnancy belly, just regular ole flab and some bloatedness from JUST eating lunch. I wanted to look pregnant quickly, but not THAT quickly.

Answer 7

I think we've all got some bad comments made to us at some point. Keep your head up be glad your pregnant, most of all be glad that your best friend didn't tell you, your really big and fat! LOL Ive been there (that's what i heard)

Answer 8

My least favorite remark has been, "Your only how far along!?" This is my first pregnancy & I popped at 12 weeks, and everyone thought I was much farther along. Then they started insisting that I was having multiples because I got big early. I'm now 39 weeks, and there is only one little baby in there.

Answer 9

Everyone telling me I looked too big to just have one baby. It had to be twins according to everyone. I did have a 9pd baby so there was a reason I looked so fat!
Why does everyone whose not pregnant have a thing about saying "are you sure its not twins??".

Also got told my face was fat and my arms and butt looked saggy. WTH??

Answer 10

I think it was when I went to a friend's house in pink polar bear thermal pajama bottoms, a materinity black and grey striped horizontal top. I had just woken up from napping and didn't fix my hair so it was all snarley and messy. She told me I looked cute! That was really funny because I thought I looked like crap.
