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?!

I got that same comment AGAIN when a lady inthe restroom asked me when I was due. I told her and she said " You must be having twins"
I am kinda big, all stomach, but watch I have a tiny baby!!
I guess I better get used to this!!
7more weeks, unless I get LUCKY:)

haha... it's funny, for a week or two I was getting "wow your big!" now it's WOW your small. I'm about 30w2d and by looking at me I look around 5 1/2-6mo. instead of 7 1/2.. :)

I'm sure ther'll be more to come later!

Oh, and I just have to say. . . I've been one of those people to just reach my hands out and touch someone's belly.  I realized after the fact how inappropriate it was (it was a co-worker of mine) but as someone who has never been pregnant, yet would love to be, just the fact that there is this living being inside of someone is so completely miraculous to me.  I think for th emost part people mean well.   At least I know I did.

There is this guy from my state whose wife tragically passed away 27 hours after giving birth to their beautiful daughter.  (an embolism)  People make the stupidest comments to him.  After his wife passed away, a nurse actually suggested he give his daughter up for adoption instead of raising her alone.  Then when he's out alone with his 12 week old daughter, people will come up to him and say, "Oh, you're playing the mom today."  Just really rude comments.

You should check out his website where he blogs about this whole experience.  It's really heartwarming.

Your funny! I had another girl early in pregnancy during training tell me "if you keep eating that your gonna blow up" I was eating wendy's because It was all that was available and at the time I didn't have the time to go shopping or the money for anything more than the $$ menu.

I talked to her like a month ago at 6+ months and was like "ha, I haven't blown up so what you told me was complete Bullcr*p"

it did make me feel a little superior. I still get the "sad" looks when I walk out of the bathroom at work after throwing up from m/s. I get told "it'll be over soon" by women who don't realize I've had it my whole pregnancy.
