At no time in my life have I ever fielded as many ridiculously horrible comments from strangers as I did when I was pregnant. It's like everyone and their sister had to come up to me and make absurdly awful comments -- the sorts of things you should never say to ANYONE, let alone someone hormonal and pregnant.
So, now that I'm no longer hormonal or pregnant, I've compiled a list of the most wicked things people said to me while I was pregnant.
1. Are you SURE you're not carrying twins?
2. Wow ... you're taking this whole 'eating for two' thing to a new level, aren't you?
3. Be happy you only have morning sickness. It was much worse for me.
4. So you're due next week, right? Oh ... you're only three months along? Well. I guess pregnancy looks different on everybody.
5. I was in my size 4s after delivery!
6. Oh, be careful. I had a friend whose friend whose cousin had a baby with [insert horrible complication here]. Let's hope YOUR baby doesn't have it.
7. You ARE breastfeeding, aren't you?
8. You AREN'T breastfeeding, are you?
9. Labor was the most intense, grueling pain I've felt in my entire life. I'd rather die than go through labor again.
10. My friend's cousin's friend's mother nearly died in labor. Actually, maybe she did die. Or it was a plot on Melrose Place. I can't remember.
11. You should REALLY look into birth control.
12. Let's hope he doesn't get your husband's nose. Sheesh! What a honker that is!
13. Um, that was the name I was going to use for MY baby even though I'm not pregnant. You can't use it. Ever.
14. You think you're not sleeping now? HA! Just WAIT until the baby gets here.
15. Well *I* was still running 60 miles a week when I was x far along.
16. I only gained 10 pounds during my entire pregnancy.
17. I breastfed those extra 10 pounds right off!
18. How dare you complain about not feeling good. Didn't you WANT to be pregnant?
19. My labor only lasted 15 minutes. I think it was because I was in such great shape after running 60 miles a day.
20. So, how DO you get your shoes on?
Your turn! What horrible things did people say to you while YOU were pregnant?

when I was pregnant with my daughter and visiting with my mother my mother in law stopped in for something which I forgot , my oh so lovely mother in law looked at me and decided to tell me that i didn't need the pop-ice I was eating that I was eating too much and then tells my mother that if it was sugar free I wouldn't eat it. Thankfully my mother stepped in and corrected her and told her that it was sugar free and if I wanted to eat until I puked I could as long as her daughter and grand daughter was happy lol thanks mom
I was pregnant with my daughter my senior year of high school, and had her the following winter. During my pregnancy, I worked hard as a server and host at a local restaurant. When an older woman came in she looked at me and said, "Oh, pregnant?" I smiled and proudly said yes, I was expecting a daughter. She shrugged and said, "That's too bad. You should have had an abortion. You're too young to have babies. Looks like you're too far along now, though." And she walked off.
So I went to the kitchen, told my manager, and she went to the lady and told her she had to leave immediately.
These are all great but I have to agree people always said something about what I was or was not eating.
I always ate heathy but with my son I craved hot spicy food and would get heartburn everytime. Let me eat my hotwings and suffer the heartburn later.
I work at a gas station and a few customers like to say things like, "MY GOD, your fat." or "so when are you going to take your maternaty leave." "You should have really waited to get pregnant until after you got yourself a better job." and my peronsal favorite was, "so whos the father? your giving it up for adoption right?" after i have been married for 7 months!! who do you think the father is? the milkman? (and its obvious im married seeing as how i keep all three rings on my finger at all times, the promise ring, the engagement ring, and the wedding band.) how could you not see that as im giving you your change? JW.
My husband's aunt asked what we were naming the baby. I told her the name and she cringed and said she knew a little girl with that name who has down syndrome. I wanted to slap her.
I don't know why anyone would have the nerve to say anything. It's just not right.
