Any of you pregnant moms get questions like this:

How much weight have you gained?
Is your face swollen?
You look tired, are you?
Are you having a girl? Your hips look bigger.
Is it hard to be that big?
You must be miserable with all that extra weight,
are you?

Well- here is a good come back question to all those dumb people who ask such things:

I WAS JUST TO ASK YOU THE SAME QUESTION!!!

lol... I wish I would have had the courage to say that when I was pregnant. My MIL looked at me and said "well, at least it won't be a tough labor, you have child-bearing hips"!! I hadn't even gained any weight yet!

I would never ask anyone those questions. I don't usually go beyond, "When are you due?" and "Do you know what you are having?"

Sometimes, I'm too chicken to even ask if someone is expecting unless it is REALLY obvious!

I hated it when they would say..."Wow, any day now! You look ready to have him!"...and I was at 7 months. urgh

hey, I was asked at thirteen if I was pregnant!!!! I hadn't even THOUGHT about sex yet, I've always had a natural pooch. But then when I was pregnant, a lot of people didn't even know(mostly those at work.) Now my MIL told me I wasn't even showing yet, and this was just at the beginning of Aug. and I am showing a LOT. So I was thinking "what, does she think I'm just naturally chubby or something?" I was only a size 8 when I got pregnant, and that was only 6 months after my DD was born. I don't know, but yeah, I hate those annoying ?s people ask when you're pregnant.

I know it can be annoying but it kinda comes with the territory. Like when your dating they ask .. "So when your gonna make an honest women out of her".. Or when your married.. "So when are you gonna have that baby already"... lol ... The best is when your laying in the hospital right after you give birth and they ask .. 'So when's the next one coming?"

Makes no sense...

Actually, this time around has been wonderful! People look at me like I have six heads when I tell them I'm due in three weeks! They do ask how much weight I've gained, because they are so astonished that I'm so small.
Sometimes, it really is a disadvantage, though. I may not look huge, but I feel it!

Well......stupid me...... I asked someone when their baby was due the other day and she wasn't even pregnant!!! I could have died! She was thin everywhere except her stomach, her top looked like a maternity top, and she was holding her stomach the way that pregnant women do.

Geez.....I felt like such an idiot!

By the way, people used to ask me if I was having twins when I was pregnant because I was so big.

My MIL used to ask me how much weight I've gained - I used to always say "within normal limits!". I actually gained on the high end - but it all came off.

Now, she says, "It must be nice to be so skinny" - I think to myself "Yea, I have to chase a one year old around 24/7 and don't have time to worry about what I look like - that's why I'm skinny!"

Hee, hee

You know I did not get upset with anyone's questions especially with the weight because if you are carrying a baby, you are going to gain weight ( you are suppose to) it just was not one of the questions that did not bothered me, it was not a big deal. The problem will be, when the baby is born, all the questions about the baby, and no one askes you how you are, then you get depressed. I did with my first, it was all about me, then no one said nothing, and googled over the baby, and I got depressed. dh would go to the nursery and sit for hours and I did not even know he was in the hospital. I got over it, I just felt like that while I was in the hospital.
