He sounds a pure delight!

I wouldn't want him around my kids either.

I've had the issue that people are trying to find a baby bump. I told people I was pregnant when I was 23 weeks. For some reason my friends just stare at my stomach and spend a good thirty minutes trying to see if I am showing. My husband says that because they all showed before 12 weeks they are trying to feel better about themselves. It's annoying because now I whenever I see them they pull my shirt tighter to see if I have a bump.

I went to a 4th of july party last week at a family friends house and happened to be wearing a shirt that discuises pretty well. So I stopped by to say hello and thanks for having us to the host, and she commented that I was barely showing. I just made a little joke about it being ky magical shirt, and not kidding she lifts my shirt up in the middle of the party. I had a moment of whoa, wtf! Its just a belly so its not really a big deal but at the same time geeze, really?

"i'm SO glad you're pregnant you have NO idea i'm SO glad i thought you were just getting FAT but now i am SO glad OMG" and on and on.
same person 2 hours later...
...when i thought he was going to apologize for his earlier comment and therefore i didn't confront...
"let me know when you are ready for me to send the Goodyear" (took me a minute to figure out what he meant by Goodyear) the GOODYEAR BLIMP

I was told to report him but there's no form that addresses it, I don't see him but in passing maybe twice ever don't know his name and there's nothing in the employee handbook addressing this. but i think pregos are covered by the ADA

My father-in-law's girlfriend was my worst belly-toucher during my first pregnancy! Always uninvited, never asked. I got good at crossing my arms as she was approaching and adopting that ever-helpful resting *kitten* face, too.

Woman doing intake at the eye doctor's office reviewing my medical form I filled out, noting that I am pregnant and had a c-section in December, "Did you intend to have them so close together?"
"The c-section was for my stillborn son."
"Oh, I'm so sorry! We just have to ask these questions..."
Really? Whether I intentionally or accidentally had two pregnancies close together is medically relevant for my eye health? Cause I think someone was just feeling a little nosy/judgmental... Meh.

This is more of a random one - wasn't offensive but still left me wondering how perfect strangers can feel comfortable making comments to pregnant women. The woman working at the Walgreens photo counter told me with 100% certainty - and completely unsolicited, as I was merely just trying to scan some photos and wasn't even talking with her - that I am having a boy based on how my pregnant body looks.

I have to ask, are you? I find the old wives tales both intriging and ridiculous.

This one wasn’t so much unwelcome as odd, but I thought I’d share anyways. I was called “handsome” yesterday. By another woman. And then she said congratulations, so I’m quite certain she was talking about my belly. Meh?

I recently told coworkers, and one lady said to me that when her and another lady found out, the other one said "Well, I did notice she was snacking an awful lot lately... but since shes pregnant it all makes sense now". Im only 10.5 weeks.

I was so uncomfortable and self conscious after hearing that, pregnant or not, and still am when it comes to work meals/snacks. What if I hadnt been pregnant? It was apparently something people were clearly watching and being attentive to before they even knew anything. I didnt think it was so strange to snack a lot when dinner is at 5pm at work, but cant go home to bed until 11pm. Im certainly not going to wait to go home to eat at midnight- lol.

I'm in the military and I'm a personal trainer on the side. I have a FB page that I use to post workout videos, food, tips, etc. Since finding out that I was expecting (19 weeks ago) I have been focusing more on the food side of things. No crazy workouts... Apparently, that gave ppl the green light to say rude crap. "You sure you aren't farther along? Your face is looking fat."... "Why aren't you posting more fitness videos? You gained too much?"... "You better slow down on the eating or you will look like a whale by the time you deliver."... This is my 3rd baby... I've bounced back pretty quickly with my last 2 but it's still irritating and it's hard to be taken seriously while pregnant. There is also a girl at work that is a week ahead of me (first baby) that feels the need to always comment on how much bigger I am than her. I just want to stay home in my pajamas haha.
