You know you're HUGELY pregnant when..

[cafemama]

I realize that at 41 weeks+ pregnant, I am quite a sight to behold. I'm quite possibly the most pregnant woman you've ever seen. I've gotten used to the stares, but it's the comments I can't quite swallow. It's amazing to me what people think is ok to say. I literally can not go outside without at least one person stopping me to comment.

Here's a selection from just the past week...

• "Woah. Do you need me to call an ambulance for you?" -- Security guard upon entering Ikea
  
  
• "Wow. You like you're about to drop a load!" -- A different security guard upon exiting Ikea
  
  
• "Are you going to have your baby on this bus? 'Cause if you are, I'll wait for the next one. I'm in a hurry." -- Woman waiting at the bus stop with me
  
  
• "How many are in there? ... [Evil eye from me] More than one - right?" -- A mother at our block party
  
  
• "Hey mama. You should go home and get some rest." -- The homeless man outside the grocery store. To his credit, he's been telling me this every day for 3 months and it gets less annoying as others' comments get more annoying.
  
  
• "Wow. You must be due any day. Are you scared?" -- Woman in the grocery store

LOL oh man. I was also a week overdue with my son. I know those stupid comments all too well. They still ring in my ear.

when i  was pregnant with my first born daughter, i had some people say comments to me, especially when i was 10 days late.

I was big with my son and I am sure i heard some comments. @@

I was really big with my last baby.. my girl and measuring 6 weeks ahead for a month.. I am pretty sure there were comments about me being so big with the baby.

I have the opposite problem. At 36 weeks, I get told I "barely look pregnant" and asked repeatedly if my due due is accurate. Then people approvingly smile and tell me what a great job I've done not letting myself go.  I haven't gone postal yet, but I've come close.

I hate idiots.
