I'm 5 months pregnant and have gained about 20 lbs so far. I'm by no means beating myself up over it, but I don't get why women think this question is suddenly ok when a woman is pregnant, even though they'd never dream of asking it to a non-pregnant woman. How about you wait to ask til after the woman has had the baby and clearly lost all the weight, or better yet, mind your own business.Shirihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16445200737486899393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3372531146997990912.post-37551431858437447492012-03-24T08:15:28.440-04:002012-03-24T08:15:28.440-04:00Well said!!!!!!!

I was asked at 14 weeks by someone at work (within earshot of students!!!), before I told anyone at work while waiting to find out if everything was going okay... And along the way so many people I don't know have made comments--even before it was no doubt obvious (and could have been a post-partum belly)--can't wait to smack a few strangers in a couple of months (or maybe help to violently insert their own feet into their mouths)... And if one more person touches my belly (especially after!) they better be wearing armor!!! And what is up with asking about #2 before even completely surviving the experience with #1????

We chose not to share with anyone that it took us four years and medical intervention to conceive the first. We aren't ready to go through that again, but I don't say that because it's no one's business but ours. People are so nosy.Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12250615449316692547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3372531146997990912.post-38068334172486195082012-03-22T17:57:45.668-04:002012-03-22T17:57:45.668-04:00As for "When you having #2?"

An acquaintance co-worker, to my face, said "So was it planned or unplanned?" UM, WHAT. <br />Although I have to admit I do like seeing people squirm while they poke at "how's things? anything going on?" to try and get me to come out and say it.

Well, at least we have 2 kids now but we ARE NOT MARRIED, so, we keep getting this one, of course.<br />I would never, never ask someone "are you pregnant" since some women look pregnant when they get treatment in order to have a chance getting pregnant. And some women just have a little belly and do not want to have kids and why should this be everyone's business??<br />Thaks for this post, though, it is funny after all. Sad too, but funny.Lorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11549193698519952080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3372531146997990912.post-25192562015875744752012-03-21T06:29:30.410-04:002012-03-21T06:29:30.410-04:00We found out we were pregnant with my first son ab...We found out we were pregnant with my first son about 3 months after we got married.

Nevermind if I'm bloated for one reason or another. But I also get the "So are you going to try for a boy?" Don't get me wrong, I love kids I have 3 of them. My third WAS that try and look what I got. I got enough work for 3 more kids for the price of one! LOL But I hate the are you pregnant again (Just recently someone said in a not so nice tone, "Your pregnant AGAIN?" Like I've had a million kids compared to his daughters 5 kids. I am so done answering that question sometimes, I just say, "No, I'm just fat."

I played dumb, looked around with a confused expression and replied, "Babies? I don't see any babies out here, just 4th graders". You would think she would get the hint, but she continued, "No, YOUR babies! We're all waiting!!". I must've had a look on my face because then she said, "Not yet?" and I spat out, "No, NOT YET". Argh. Another good one: after returning back to work after being out for a week for surgery BECAUSE I CAN'T GET PREGNANT, a coworker/parent of one of my students comes up to me all excited and asks if I am pregnant because "I heard 2 teachers are expecting and I just figured one had to be you".
