Pregnany makes people ask you lots and lots of questions. If you've ever been pregnant or are currently pregnant - you know what I'm talking about. If you ever plan on getting pregnant - get ready for the questions. You'll be surprised by what some people ask you.
Below are some of the most frequently asked questions and comments I've receieved. I don't mind the questions or comments from the people that I know. It's I'm not a fan of the questions, comments and judgements from complete strangers. They are in no particular order.
- Are you excited?
- Was this planned?
- How long have y'all been married? (you can almost see them do the math in their head)
- Are you going to find out if its a boy or girl? (often followed by - why?)
- What do you want - boy or girl?
- Do you have a gut feeling if it's a boy or girl?
- Are you going to take the drugs?
- Do you have a name picked out yet?
- Are you going to share the the name once you decide?
- Are you sure you can eat that?
- Why can't you eat that?
- Are you going back to work?
- How much time are you going to take off?
- It's really funny that Brad is going to have a girl. (This one really bothers him)
- Did you buy a shotgun yet? You'll need one if you have a girl.
- Are you going to nurse?
- Are you going to take weekly belly pictures?
- Can I take a picture of your belly?
- How much weight have you gained?
- How are you feeling?
- Have you registered for a Labor and Delivery Class? (NO!)
- You don't look like you are that far along.
I'll add more to the list as I get them.
You must have a darn cute belly if people ask to take a pic of it! I was very entertained by all the questions!
ReplyDeleteNot a cute belly - just a strange lady. She's not happy with me because I don't take weekly belly pictures. She wants me to do it so bad that she's offered, multiple times, to take the belly pictures for me. She wants a copy for her. She's just strange.
ReplyDeleteHave you started on the Nursery?
ReplyDeleteHow is the dog going to handle the baby?
ReplyDeleteI was nodding my head at several of these questions - and I haven't even told that many people yet!! I also already had a lady at the vet tell me that she hopes I have a girl so she can give me all of her baby clothes. Keep in mind, I see this woman about once a year or so.
