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.

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?)
