What is the most annoying thing someone has said to you while you were pregnant?

I used to hear that a lot too, when I was pregnant. It didn't annoy me, though. But it made me look at myself at the mirror every single day to check out if I was growing really THAT big. I mean, sometimes I thought they were just exaggerating. There was even a time when someone at work said my tummy was so round it looked like a basketball glued to my trunk. I said "really?". They told me it seemed like my tummy grew bigger and bigger but my body wasn't getting fat at all. So you could probably imagine how I looked when I was pregnant!

Oh my gosh how about your irrational and emotional its your hormones you really dont feel like that! I hated hearing that and heard it quite often from my ex-what an idiot dont i wish he could get pregnant!!

*giggles* Actually, the most annoying thing people said to me when I was pregnant was "Are you going to finish high school? Will your parents help you with the baby? Are you going to marry the father?" This was annoying partially because it was complete strangers saying these things, and partially because I was 25 and already married. So they were assuming based on my appearance that they knew my age, marital status, etc. =P

I got so tired of hearing about teen pregnancy and how bad it was. I didn't even show until I was about 6 months or so along, but then it was like I grew overnight! And strangers would always tell me how I should have waited. blah blah. I was 22 when I got pregnant, and married. Another thing that annoyed me, was that starting around Christmas, one of my sisters would call me at least 3 times a week and ask if there was any news yet. My due date was February 3rd. And I kept telling her someone would call her when we had the baby. I guess she was just excited to be an aunt, but still, it was annoying! And now she never even calls me to see how my son is doing or anything. Last time she called was his birthday (Feb 1st).

I've never had a child, but my mom told me her biggest pet peeve when she was pregnant, was when people, even strangers, would come up to her and put their hands on her belly. She hated that. Because a person wouldn't dare do that to someone not pregnant, what makes it ok to do it without permission when someone IS pregnant?

Its very hard to judge another! Perhaps this girl was unable to get Pregnant. She might have intended her words as a compliment. Just relax and be thankful that you are getting bigger. This is very normal (just as you said). It was only annoying if you thought it so! Relax and be thankful. Send loving thoughts to those around you!

Extremely rude of her, some people just don’t know what to say when. I know what you mean. I did not face this as I was the only lady out there but there were other forms of harassment which I faced. People treated me like I was sick, a leper to be kept at arm’s length. I understood that they were doing so for my safety but what the heck! I knew where to draw the line and my baby meant more to me than anyone else. nobody needed to just spread out the moment I entered the room or offer me chairs or ask after my health thousand times in the day. Ooohhh it was so infuriating. And then there were some elders in the office who, in a typical avuncular patronizing tone, would advise me to stay home ‘for these few months’, you know just the way they spoke made me go red and start boiling inside. If I am a healthy woman, OK of mind and brain, why should my pregnancy be a cause of such health scrutiny for me? Why should I stay at home and waste precious time flipping through useless magazines? There is a lot of difference between a pregnant woman and a sick woman and I don’t think most of the world understands that.

you are right, that usually happens to women who are pregnant to get big as days and months passes by. when we are pregnany we get so emotional and even the no sense at all words feels annoying. my sister told me i was ugly when i was pregnant.... she always says that but during i was pregnant i got really pissed....

It slounds like this girl doesn't know you very well and is just trying to make some sort of polite small talk with you. If she hasn't had any children of her own then she won't know any appropriate things to ask you and might think just saying 'how are you'is a bit out of place now you are pregnant. It's maybe the only thing she can think to say to you when you see her. I doubt she is trying to be rude but I can see it would be annoying to hear the same thing day in and day out.

my biggest pet peeve was "your still pregnant" or "you ain't had that baby yet??" do you really want me to answer these dumb questions??? ummmm no i had the baby months ago and just wear this maternity pouch because i miss being pregnant so much.

That's funny.I think the only annoying thing for me was that noone really knew that I was pregnant because I was only 105lbs when I first got pregnant and then I didn't really get too big so I would always hear.Your really pregnant.You don't look pregnant.

I think the most annoying comments were "when are you going to calve?" or "when are you going to pop that thing out?" The most annoying comments to me always came from guys and quite often my own husband. I was more than 8 months pregnant with my 3rd child and had put on quite a bit of weight. I was literally waddling around. Now, I'd always been underweight and the extra weight was killing me. One of my husband's friends came over one night and looked at me and said," my lord, you have put on weight and you look great! you should keep it on!"

lol. This discussion made me smile. The most annoying thing that was said to me...regularly... was when my big brother would often remind me that definitely something was growing bigger. Yes, I know one would think, it's my body. But not only that. My brother would often promptly remind me that my nose was trying to keep up with my growing body! That's the one thing I hated most when I was pregnant. My nose really got swollen, but not that too big that I had difficulty breathing!It was just that noticeable for everyone. I was kind of embarassed to go out during that time because of my nose!

I was annoyed b/c people always commented that I was not eating enough. I never seemed large enough for them. Then when I was 9 months pregnant, a lot of people would tell me I was going to have a low birth weight baby and I needed to eat more. I ended up having an 8lb 4 oz baby boy, so I was glad to be able to prove them wrong!!!

The most annoying for me was, "did you plan this?" Maybe it annoyed me because I didn't plan for it but whether or not I did is really none of anyone's business. If it were their business they would have already known.
