Default If one more person....

asks me how I'm feeling I'm going to burst. I swear, every conversation starts out the exact same way...."so, how are you feeling?". The same people asking me every day, it is getting old. I know they mean well and all but come on. I think I should start telling them about the constipation, back pain, sore feet, hemroids, etc....in GREAT DETAIL. Maybe they will find a new subject to talk about!

Sorry, just had to vent....it was a LONG day :0)

I totally know how you feel. When I was pg with the twins I finally told one person who not only asked all the time but felt compelled to rub my belly while she was doing it (personal pet peeve) that my bladder was so squished I could hardly hold any pee so that while I'd love to talk to her, I had to go use the bathroom! I'm sad to say that while it shocked her it did not make her stop asking!

i was sick of that question by the time i was 8 weeks pregnant. it's one of those -how fast do you want to annoy me- questions. i also hate the "what are you having?" a baby OBVIOUSLY! the questions people ask often shock me. at work the other day, a customer (i.e. complete stranger!) asked me if she could "rub my belly" THEN looked at me like i was the dumb one when i said "no." i'm pregnant, not Buddha. at least she did ask....

....I just say "homicidal- do you want to try your luck?"

Seriously- I am 17 weeks, still getting m/s, stressed to hell, and exhausted- how do they THINK I feel? I don't get it either- why must the same people ask this EVERYTIME I see them?

So, in other words......I feel your pain, lol

I feel the same way as you all do. I know they mean well, but come on. Do you seriously think I'm fine. Well I'm not, my hormones are raging....I can go from happy to sad as fast as you can ask me how I am feeling. Then I just snap.

Now when they ask how I am feeling, I tell them. "How do you think I am feeling? Oh, I'm feeling just wonderful once you get past the back pain, aches all over, needing to pee every hour or so & can't sleep & have mood swings all the time." They usually don't ask again after that.

Oh thank goodness you guys feel the same way. DH said I was being ridiculous and I need to let things like that go. Yeah, I will get right on that.

Not too many people have asked or actually rubbed my belly yet besides my DD. But…and this is good….a few people have said “make it move”. Like I’m growing a trained circus act in there that can perform on command.

OMG I think I wet myself! lol that is too funny! I had the same thing happen to me last week! I asked the lady if she thought I was pregnant with a puppy?! Like you can train a baby to move! Oh God and I am with all of you on the belly rubbing! I think my belly is going to be as shiny as the Lincoln memorials nose from all the rubbing! Some of these things would be great for that game I made in my other post...you know your pregnant when....people rub your belly and ask how your feeling! Its a funny way to vent all your pregnancy anger!
