OT~ Rude/Offbeat questions during pregnancy?

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 think the worst comment I've gotten was, "My! Do you have more than one baby in there you're huge!"

Seeing at the time I was only a little over 5 months... that shot my self esteem RIGHT down the drain- but threw my temper through the roof! lol!

I ended up saying to her, "Excuse me, I'm f*cking SORRY I'm not a skinny lil sk@nk B*TCH with a flat f*cking tummy! I've only got one baby in there but who the F*CK are YOU to judge ME and MY fat belly! B*TCH!"

I was at the bus terminal waiting to watch the bus to go back home.
So needless to say I was screaming at the top of my lungs in rage while surrounded by atleast 100 people that are staring with their jaws dropped.

LOL

Then my sister-in-law,  not that b*tch Ashley I was telling you about, but my other one Mona, she's nice.
And I don't think she meant to say this in a mean way, but she said to me, "Wow! You're really BIG for 5 months!"
lol

Then ofcoarse my grandmother that rambles about how I don't need to put on too much weight and I'm like, "Gramma. I lost 40lbs when I first got pregnant.  I've only gained 20 lbs BACK since then. I'm 6 1/2  months pregnant, that's OKAY."

lolol

Then ofcoarse there's those random people that I run into while I'm walking around downtown that have like this URGE to reach out and put their hands on my like they're somebody while saying some f*cked up sh*t like, "You look like you're about to burst girl!" or "You look like you're about to esplode!" or "Are you having twins??"

I'M SORRY MY BELLY IS SO HUGE! OKAY PEOPLE!?
I'M F*CKING SORRY!!!!!


Ugh.
I officially hate my life as of today.

I'm fat and STARVING right now.
I got a LIST-O-SH*T that I'm NOT allowed to eat as of 3 hours ago cuz I go for my glucose screaning tomorrow.

I just had Josh make me some scrambled eggs  because I've had nothing but corn on the cob all day today.
I've been eating that sh*t like crack yo!
It's my FAVE! lolol!

The ruddest comment was after my 2nd son was born. My SIL and BIL and their kids were in town and we desided to get together at Old Contry Buffet for dinner. My son was about a week old and while I was in the buffet line the guy that was cutting the meat asked me when I was due!! I felt humiliated!! I was still bloated and still looked pregnant kinda but, I had my baby a week ago!!!! It made me mad!!!

This pregnancy.......Fathers day we all went to the zoo. After a full day of fun we went to leave and my hubby had to use the restroom, so while he was gone me and my boys waited out side. A cute little girl about maybe 8 years old came up to me and asked how many babies I was having??? I thought that was kinda cute:) Untill I told he one and she said really? It looks like your having two!! She smiled and walked away!! OMG!!  I have people like this on a daily basis asking when Im due and telling me how huge I am when I say I still have two months left!! My mom included!! She insists that Im having twins and that the u/s missed one. My mom told me today that I shouldnt be surprised if I deliver a girl instead of a boy because the diffrence in this pregnancy and my last 2!! She said cause I havent gained much weight and all!!
UGH!!! I think all pregnant woman need blinders and ear plugs!!!!

The rudest comment I had was after I had my daughter. I had her Tuesday night and my aunt came up Wednesday afternoon and said "Wow! You still look REALLY pregnant!" That really made me mad! Some things you just keep to yourself.

On a good note, I was at Wal-Mart two days before I had her waiting in line and my mom and I heard the lady behind us tell the guy she was with how cute I looked. It made me feel good to know that SOME people have some sence! ;-)

oh i hate the "i HAVE to touch your belly thing" with family it doesn't bother me so much. my aunts, grandma, mom and even my 1 yr old nephew always rub my belly. (lol it's so cute when my nephew does it. my mom will look at him and say where's the babies? he crawls/scoots over to me and rubs my belly and says "baby") but when strangers do it....totally freaks me out!!! why would you just start rubbing a total strangers belly? and saying oh pregnant women don't mind.....such ********!!! having someone do that irritates the hell out of me!
