Ok so maybe that "Whoa! That is huge" comment from the greasy guy at WalMart was warranted...
And maybe I shouldn't have been so mean back to him...
or to the lady at the nail place that asked me if I had dropped yet and then went on to explain exactly what that means...
or to the guy at church who, with his finger in a poking position, said he just wanted to pop it...
or to the lady at the post office who said I looked like I was about to pop (like 3 months ago)...
or to the guy at the store who said looks like you're about done...
or to the lady on the phone who said,"Oh now I know who you are, you're that girl that's big and pregnant"...
But, seriously, learn to edit people.
Wives, please enlighten your husbands on appropriate pregnancy comments. Better yet, tell them not to comment. And women, those of you who have said any of the above, shame on you!
What's the worst thing anyone has said to you while preggo? We have to stick together you know!

Oye, I get those comments, although, this time I have only had 1 so far, but I'm sure more are to come.
"You look like you're about to pop!"
Really? You just said that with your wife standing there who is also pregnant? With twins? Shame shame.
When I was pregnant with Gavin a stranger said to me, "you look like a torpedo". People are crazy.
I'm so sorry! My grandma always seems to say I look puffy...thanks :) but usually the worst things come after having the baby and people still thinking I am pregnant! But I am not one of those women that just gain in the belly! I gain it EVERYWHERE! And then I don't just bounce back to pre-pregnancy weight! I really have to work at it! You're so beautiful! Hang in there!
Call me when your MIL calls you fat, and your SIL calls you a baby factory. Fun times...
I think you look awesome. Whatever it takes for our body to do what it needs to do to make a healthy baby is worth it. Good luck to you and the new babe!! I'm excited for you!!!
I got the same exact comments, but who the heck cares!! My husband thought I was hot and that is all that matters, and i know that Erik thinks you're gorgeous, because you are.
Wow. I can't believe so many people say things without thinking!!! I had a guy from church say, "I can finally tell you're pregnant because you are showing in your face." I was self conscious about my puffy face for the remaining three months of my pregnancy. Also I had someone say, "Are you sure you're 5 months pregnant?" Like I didn't know. Phil and I can't wait to see Chase's new cousin at Christmas :)
Poor Poor You. My favorite comment was while I was holding a 2 month old - nearly newborn baby. Someone stupidly asked how far along i was! Just because I hadn't lost the baby fat yet (and really still haven't) they assumed I was pregnant although I had a newborn in my arms. My post-preggo belly wasn't THAT fat either - just squishy.
Oh, Meg, you crack me up. I got all those comments with McKinley. I got asked constantly if I was having twins. I found it was usually men that said the worst things to me.
This time around I have anticipated them, and tend to not go out in public. Not the answer to the problem, but I am a pansy. I have been planning some firey comments back though.
Dear Megan,
I am so sorry you have had to deal with people giving you inappropriate pregnacy comments. People can be thoughtless with their words, and they need to think twice (or maybe even more!) before anything is spewn out of their mouth.
Well, I am so happy for you, cousin! I'm hoping that when I get to meet you and Erick again, that you will have TWO or more children at your side of your own. Later!
