What's the most annoying/rude thing someone has said to you while pregnant?

I hate when people say "Wow you are really showing now" or "You look ready to pop"

Gee thanks, I love hearing that I look huge.

Oh that's actually a lil less disturbing.. Trying being told you are actually fat! So Saturday night went to my hubby's best friends son's baby shower well this lady told me in Spanish when are you due I told her October 8th she actually had no shame in telling me I was fat compared to the other girl,  which the other girl was 17 and short and I'm 25.. She has been the only person to actually tell me in my face everyone else says I'm small for as how far along I am.  I was just like are you serious she's literally telling me I'm fat!!

I had a Co worker ask me last week "do you think you could start doing your job and not running off to the bathroom all the time"  it was all I could do not to freak out and go crazy pregnant lady on her.  I'm sorry I have to throw up or pee 19 times a day. Trust me I would love to not have to run to the bathroom every 30 minutes. It's quite annoying and I don't need you being all high and mighty about it  great you didn't have morning sickness however I do

Im so glad its not me having to listen to this dribble that comes out of not only strangers mouths but also friends. "Oh your going to be so tired Nat" erh I've been tired since 2011 and I'm doing just fine as it goes or "gosh your going to have your hands full" erh I look after my children just fine. Not one of you offer to help me (close friends) so button it!!!! And because its my third baby its like a rare thing nowadays to have more than one children. Like I'm the bearded lady at the circus or something lol but it was clearly fine for their family members to have 5 children. Get outta here lol x

I'm only 6 weeks into my pregnancy and I swear so many damn people have said "It's so early, you may not even be pregnant..." or better yet "the possibility of miscarriage is so high, I wouldn't tell anyone yet." Excuse my French but  **** OFF! #1 I am extremely aware of the possibility of miscarriage because since I found out, I've been abusing Google... and #2 just **** off.

People say so much stupid things, its like the moment you get pregnant there is no filter...

My top 10 worst things ppl have said to me during my pregnancy.

#1, "Are you planning to birth vaginally?? Um OKAY. You're going to get all loose and floppy down there! All ruined. Not so nice for your husband.. you should get a ceaserian."
(This was from a younger male colleague who has zero kids and never been with anyone who has kids, sooo not sure what he is basing this on)

#2 "Was it planned?" ...I got this so often I actually put a sign up at work not to ask me this. Most ppl knows I've been married for 6years, how could it be an accident?? I just found it a tad insulting.

#3 "OMG YOURE SO BIG! YOU'VE POPPED" people said this just as I was starting to show (early second trimester) and it wasnt that big and ..comon, its gonna get bigger! It really annoyed me.. so on the sign at the desk this went too..

#4 "Your face gained weight, it looks bigger"
Firstly, it's not true, I've studied pictures from before and after.. secondly, why would you tell me that???

#5 "You look tired" this comment was so frequent I put it on my sign as well.. I mean, most of the times I felt and looked the same as before.. and it's never nice hearing you look beat.

#6 Proceeding to tell me how little social life you get after you have a kid and how little sleep.. and how little time you get to do this or that..
Why should I hear this? How is this suppose to cheer me up?
Also, I dont want to believe all parents/kids are the same. That is YOUR life, don apply it on me as it is an universal rule.

#7 "Do you have any stretchmarks yet?"
Can we all agree this is TOO personal question?

#8 "How much weight have you gained?"
I can understand the curiosity, but its not an appropiate question.

#9 Asks me the name for my baby girl and I reply: "Elinor (Eleanor)" and she replies; "uuh..okay. I like Sarah"
I mean sure random colleague, but its my kid..name YOURS Sarah.

#10 Random parenting advises.
Granted, some are good. But if you dont seek someone out for advise, dont shower ppl with them.. I am capable to care for a baby.

THAT'S it!!!
(The belly touching is pretty bad too! -have people heard of personal space?)

I just over look the rude comments because some people think that its nothing wrong... They think its an honor to get fat when you're pregnant. It means your healthy my grandma told me. I try not to let strangers get on my nerves I've heard all the comments... Oh you're not that big ohhh you have a long way to go oh is this your last one blah blah blah

Mine is also the "wow your so big already" so when They ask how far I jz automatically say I know my belly is big. When I had nmbr 3 I was at the Dr with my older 2 and the nurse goes "your kids are older why did u do that" then looked down at her carseat. I was like wow f u B. Left and found a new Dr office. :) which I'm glad I did. I love r new dr.

Hahaha! Some people... my favorite one has to be "that ***** she threw her life away". Or the famous "she's so young I can't believe her parents let that happen" umm I'm 22 and graduated high school and have held jobs and lived on my own. I've done and gone thru more than they know and could handle. People should keep their mouths shut
