Whats the MEANEST thing someone has said?

Whats the meanest thing someone has said to you while pregnant? (and it must have something to do with your pregnancy)

For me, im on baby number 2, and i wrote on facebook that i was definitely thinking of birth control but wasnt sure which one to choose. my friend suggested the Mirina, and i said i cant use that kind. i have to use the pill bc its the only one that gives me a normal period, all other birth controls gave me a period lasting 7months straight with out stopping..

and a girl comments and says "hmm 7 months of bleeding or having another baby for the rest of your life? how is that a hard choice to make?"

She had no place to make that rude statement!

So Far i have gotten this from my mum " Dont eat too much you are getting fat.." "Some women just eat eat and eat but there babies are so small" " You are already so chubby its hard to tell where baby is" " Do not buy any clothes for your self as they will get smaller and you wont be able to loose weight"....
when i was in my 14 weeks she use to say " Oh i am feeling so worried why cant you feel baby move"... she actually called me a night before my 20 wks scan and said " My heart is beating so fast i dont think you ll have good news tomorrow"
at that stage i was already so worried that my baby is not alive as i had miscarriage before... and she knows how conscious i am about my weight and she keep on reminding me that  "I AM FAT" and kept telling her mum its my first i wont be able to feel him move until i am above 20wks or something..
then she says " i hope its a boy..." like i care its our first after five yrs of trying me n dh are so happy either one of them... i havent told her what i am having coz i know she wont be able to keep it inside that its a boy... ugh..

A girl I used to be friends with really wanted kids but couldn't conceive and was very jealous that I waspregnant.she bumped into me and said, my boyfriend told me you got fat but I didn't know you got this huge! You're definitely nit one of those girls who is just all belly. Then I saw her when I was pregnant with my second child and she told me that she could tell I didn't work very hard in the five months in between pregnancies cause for being only 4 months along I was huge. She said, what you going to get up to 300#s with this one?

Needless to say, we don't talk anymore.

I was complaining about my back a few weeks ago and my boyfriend asked why, I said I think I hurt it exercising and he said "Exercise? Where are the results?!" I was soooo pissed. Like really? I'm suppose to be gaining weight so of course you won't see anything !

My husband's grandpa's girlfriend told me that if I had your health problems that she would nit have any kids if she was me. She also told me I am not showing because I smoke cigarettes. She has called me lazy and one day left me home alone for eight hours when I am supposed to have someone with me at all times as I am on bedrest and have been since day one. She seemed to have no concern at all when she got back and the ambulance was waiting to take me to the hospital since I passed out on our daughter and came to with her slapping me in the face and crying so hard she could hardly breathe. Mind you my daughter is not even 2 yet.

We recently moved and are still getting to know our neighbors. My son takes riding lessons every week with our neighbor, so his instructor has seen me progress each week for like the last 2 months. Hes got a good heart, but totally unfiltered! A few weeks ago, he said, "yeah...im starting to see it in ur face. U know how pregnant women get chubby faces...but dont worry! Its just water retention and swelling and stuff right?? It will go away after the baby is born??" Lol, i had to laugh, but it kinda hurt at the same time. I went home and stared at my fat face in the mirror and cried. Hes said a ton of other things to, again not intentionally, just totally unfiltered, lol dont worry ladies! We will all have our bodies back eventually!!! Lol

my SIL's boyfriend is super religious and my husband and I aren't. We got pregnant one month after them. He decided it'd be a good idea to tell me my baby is going to hell because we're atheists and that he wouldn't be surprised if we miscarried or had a deformed child because God doesn't approve of our lifestyle choices.

I have no problem with religion, no does my husband, but I did Mae it a point to come back with "hmmm.. we're married and having a child. You're not and having a child. But you're Christian. You should know better. Who would God smite first? And furthermore, I've had 9 miscarriages. You have no ******* right saying something so hurtful. I'm supposed to be a horrible person for not believing, yet I'd still never wish something like that on you or your child. Seems to me, you should really reread your Bible."

Someone hubby used to work with asked if we had decided on bc after our second is born or if we were "going to keep spitting kids out." I said I was debating on a tubal or something else. He said I still had a while before I had to decide. I told him I'm 8 months pregnant and he said, "damn, are you sure? Is the baby growing ok?"

My grandma said, "please don't have any more children. You stay too sick."

Um...I'm a sahm and my husband supports us. We just bought a house and no one pays our bills but us. How is it anyone else's business how many children I have?

My best friend told her mom she now hated me because I got pregnant before her. We both had been TTC for many years, I had for 8 years and she has been for around 6. I just felt completely betrayed by this remark, if the roles were reversed I would be thrilled for her. I'm not close to my family or my husband family, and I was really counting on support from her.

The meanest thing or dumbest thing i've been told is that i only got pregnant by my babydaddy to get money and have him with me for the rest of my life..BUT funny thing is that i haven't heard from him in months and have never asked for one penny. Ignorant people these days.

At work I get the fat jokes every day. I was slim before and I have put on weight. They say. "We are going to have to widen the door frames for you soon" and the other day someone said " You are so f***ing fat!." I said "It's pregnancy I can't help it."  And he said "Aaallllll of that isn't just pregnancy, you just got fat"

I teach a class at a high school that is now required to graduate and deals mostly with parenting. Because of the subject matter, I talk about my personal experiences a lot. My students know that I became pregnant just a few days after my wedding, they know that I miscarried when I got pregnant the first time I ovulated after I had my son, and they have obviously caught on that I am pregnant now (conceiving right after I got the ok from the dr after miscarriage). I will have 2 children before my second anniversary despite being a virgin when I was married.  And yet one of my girls called me a ***** in class because I kept getting pregnant.  If only she knew how little hubby gets since I've been pregnant practically nonstop since we got married!
