OT~ Rude/Offbeat questions during pregnancy?

[martikadragoon]

Ok, so at work today I was discussing with my friends about the ligament pain I've been getting. (I'm very open about discussing my pregnancy) and all of a sudden a guy I know (not well mind you) asks me infront of about 4 women.:

Are you dialated yet?

OMG~ I turned, smiled and said.. no but do you really think I aughto answer that?  His response was that he has like 4 sisters and a mom and has seen it all and was just curious. I kind of made fun of him saying I was suprised he knew the word DIALATED.  it made the ladies crack up. he's lucky I'm a happy (mostly) open person. Any other woman and he may have found his cell phone smashed!

What are some rude or off questions that ppl have asked you during this or previous pregnancies?!

Motherofan18montold~ OMG I'd have KILLED him. I've had guys like that who wound up obsessing because I was nice to them. If ANY guy touched my body without invite he'd get slapped or worse!

Atlantisea~ IDK what'd be worse... having a kid tell me that or an adult. Since i've had an adult say it already..... i'm waiting for one of my brother's little friends to say something.

mj_mommy_manda~ I KNOW about the "defense" because I play it myself on occasion. however sometimes it doesn't stop ppl....you know, those really, REALLY determined ones!

Riot~ Thank god I haven't had a guy hit on me like that. I'd be liable to hit him!

I had an old man look at my wedding rings and say "does that ring have anything to do with that baby?" Who asks someone if they got married because they were pregnant? I was like "NO! I'm due on my 1st anniversary...do the math!"

I TOTALLY feel you girl.

I get some really RUDE young, and middle-aged guys that constantly stare me down, ask me if I'm single or if I wanna be [[if they see my mister man near by]].
They tell me that they LOVE pregnant women, that it "Turns them on" just thinking about having sex with me.
Or they tell me that they have a fetish for pregnant women and they'd "Love to give me a try..." or some sh*t like that.

I've gotten some pretty RUDE-A$$ remarks from guys lately and it drives me insane!
I almost dread having to go in public by myself because where I live, the city is dangerous... you never know what someone's gunna try n do.

This topic is too funny.. I get mean looks from old ladies.. but i expected that considering Im young and all.. people like to touch my belly all the time.. especially at work.. The guys actually touch it more than the women which suprised me but at the same time it doesnt offend me because they dont rub it or sit there with their hand on it for an hour like the women do.. lol usually if I spot a belly toucher I will put my clipboard (i register patients at a hospital) up in front of my stomach so they cant touch it or if I dont have my clipboard I will cross my arms across the top of my stomach or rest a hand on my stomach because they dont touch it if Im blocking them.. Lol playing some defense.  No one has really made rude comments to me yet.. I get weird looks from some people because they dont know if Im pregnant or just fat.. but i always laugh about that after I walk away lol

My most upsetting moment so far this pregnancy was this morning. My children quite rudely informed me that my bottom is getting really fat.

I know I should be able to brush that off (probably reacting because of the hormones) but for some reason it hurt even more coming from them and I went to have a shower and bawled my eyes out.

Later when they realised that I was upset and they asked why, I explained that what they had said really hurt my feelings.

To their credit they did try to comfort me with - 'We didn't mean it' and 'We were just tricking'. Unfortunately, the damage is done. Children can be honest to a fault.

i worked as a waitress in a lil restaurant for railroaders (CSX) and for a year all the men would whistle at me and make rude remarks about my *** or my bb's and then when i got preggo with my son they literally took it to far and would reach out and rub my belly or tell me that i still looked good pregnant......it was really rude...my husband threatened one of the guys because he would follow me around and ask me if i wanted to leave DH and told me that he really wished it was his kid i was having (the guy was so obsessed with me only because i was nice/friendly to him) thats around the same time i started having anxiety/ panic attacks...to this day i think he was the one who triggered them.....about a month ago i actually had a dream about working there again an i woke up having a very severe panic attack!.....seriously that's the rudest i had ever been treated in my life!!!!!!!!
