Rude people! vent

I'm 34wks pregnant with baby #2, I have a 3 year old son. When people ask me if I'm pregnant and I say yes their reaction is "your pregnant AGAIN" or "your having ANOTHER baby". They act like this is my 10th baby or something,lol. It gets on my nerves because its usually women who have serval kids back to back.

It's not so much that I care what they have to say, its more annoying than anything. I have to "smile" and walk away before I punch somebody. My patients were very limited even before pregnancy.

I'm 34 too and expecting my second. My children will be 2 years apart...
I haven't shared the news much yet because it is early. I'm a little terrified of having two close together but I know they will enjoy each other. I went to buy some pregnancy tea yesterday and had my son with me... The woman looked at the box and asked me how old my son is..."17 months"... she said, "Oh, good lord!". I just smiled. I'm sure she was thinking I was nuts.
One thing I remember from my first pregnancy is people say A Lot of stupid things to pregnant women. I'm really going to try to dish it back this pregnancy. Lots of sarcasm and 'none of your business' attitude will be seen. HA! Good luck to you!

I had the same with my step mum, I have a son who will be 2 in Sept and ill be due 29th of November. My step mum gave me the again, already speech as she believes that its best to have another child once the first child is settled on school. But as long as im happy and my.kids are happy what does it matter. I like the fact that there will only be 2 years between them I hope they will be close that way.
