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?!

BTS~ I started out at a D.. so I'm gonna be crushed if they COMPLETELY deflate and end at a C cause that'll mean I'll be super saggy... ewww.

Losingmymind~~  Your DH comments are HILARIOUS. I may use them (with FRIENDS lol not strangers)

When I go to the store, I get usually curious looks to smiles from ppl. Thankfully I don't look like a teenager (unless I wear pigtails!)
With ppl touching my belly, when I was newly pregnant up til about 16weeks, It really P*ssed me off when ppl would rub my belly. My mom had this thing of doing it EVERYTIME I saw her. And the reason it ticked me off is she used to pat my belly and try to rub it BEFORE I got pregnant and joke about a "baby" in there. It really messed with my self esteem because I'd always had issues with my body and stomach esp.

my big thing was ppl not touching my belly until I had started feeling him move, because before that they obviously wouldn't feel it!
I have a pooh bear shirt that says "hands off the belly" and a happy bunny shirt that says "do you really want to mess with the pregnant lady?"

Oh, and my husband on a couple occasions has made the comment about A) Fat floats better (in the pool) and B) Squishy belly....(at the bottom)  He got smacked for that!

on the flip side I was trying to carry a BUNCH of groceries to my door and couldn't, so asked 2 guys who live here to help carry them up the stairs to my apartment (and explained it was too heavy as I was pregnant since I didn't show yet)

and on another occasion after that they've told me if I ever need help with anything like that just ask them and they'll do whatever I need. What sweeties hu?!

Even tho there are TONS of rude ppl on RARE occasions I'll have someone say something or do something so nice that it suprises me. (like the guy I work with randomly bringing in a bunch of baby stuff from his daughters older babies for me)

LOL Unfortunatley most times I don't think of the sarcastic comments until AFTER the fact :)

I did have a coworker basically tell me that I was pretty big.  She said "And you're only carrying one right"?  And I was, but I just thought that was sooo rude!!!  If looks could kill.....she'd have been a goner that day!!  Luckily she doesn't work here anymore!!  LOL!

I have had people constantly ask me "Have you been sick".  I know they are just concerned and mean well - but the same people ask me over and over.  I get tired of answering that one after a while.
