–I was out shopping with my mom, godmother and sister one evening and a sales associate at a store asked me when I was due. I told her December 2nd and she said “Oh wow, I hope you are carrying two!” I wanted to punch her in the face. How rude can you be? I am no more pregnant looking than other people. Rude ass bitch. My sister and mom both commented after to me that they wouldn’t have been near as nice to her as I was in my response. It really bothered me though and I clearly have not forgotten.
–I haven’t washed my car since we bought it back in July. I have good intentions to do it, and have even driven to the car wash place a few times…only for them to be so packed I say forget about it. Oops.
–When I am out and knock something over due to my new found clumsiness, I don’t pick it up. I physically can’t anymore. It makes me feel like a horrible person but I look at it as payback for all the times I have picked items up and put them back for other people who were too lazy for the last 33 years of my life. At least I have an excuse right now.
–I already have a list ready of things I want to purchase during the Sephora VIB sale in a few weeks. Don’t tell me you haven’t been counting down!!!
–I have been going through the drive thru at Starbucks instead of going in lately because I am sick of the judgy eyes I get for getting coffee. My doctor said that it is perfectly ok for pregnant women to consume 2 cups of coffee per day. I cut out my daily coffee the moment I found out I was pregnant and only grab a Starbucks tall or Dunkin Donuts small coffee once or twice a week on days I am exhausted and really need it to get through my day. So I don’t appreciate people being judgy assholes. It gets really old.
–Speaking of judgy….Chris had beer in our shopping cart at Publix and had walked away while I was checking out and the cashier said, “Gosh, I hope this isn’t for you.” I just looked at her and rolled my eyes. I had already gotten shit for getting roast beef from the deli. The guy slicing the meat told me that deli meat isn’t good for pregnant women…especially the roast beef. And I was like I KNOW!!! It’s for my husband. Good Lord! Just leave me alone people. I can’t be the only pregnant woman out grocery shopping for a family?
–If your feet no longer fit in your work out shoes due to swelling, that should be taken as your sign to take the rest of your pregnancy day off…right?!?!
–The weather is really messing with me this year. It was 90 degrees over the weekend, in the 80’s all this week. I mean, football season is nearly coming to an end. Halloween has come and gone and the holidays are upon us. I just don’t feel it yet. I want to feel it. I want to feel fall so bad. It makes me sad because this is my absolute favorite time of the year. I am drinking all the PSLs, eating fall treats, using my fall lip colors and as of yesterday listening to Christmas music. But like, while wearing flip flops and a sleeveless dress. Anyone else feeling this way?? COME ON COLD WEATHER!

Very rude and unprofessional of those employees! I would go to both store’s websites and complain about then. I have complained to Publix before and gotten a fast response. Those people have no business assuming that you need help and instructions for pregnancy.
Oh lord, I hated all the judging and rude comments from people when I was pregnant. You can’t do this, you can’t eat that…I will eat as much sushi as I damn well please! And here on Guam there are all these other superstitions and shit that everyone and their grandmothers will chastise you about. (You can’t linger in a doorway, you have to wear perfume when you go out at night, if you eat octopus your baby will be bald, etc.) It’s seriously ridiculous.
I hated all those judgmental comments when I was pregnant too. For me it was one of the most annoying things about being pregnant – the extra attention and unnecessary advice. But it’s even worse when they are presumptuous like that. Wow – happy one month until your due date!!!! So exciting!!!
I cannot stand judgy people and people that are quick to assume! Like they haven’t been the same situations? Oh sweetie, I keep praying for cool breezes to come your way, I’ll keep on doing the Fall for Alabama dance! It’s getting so exciting, one month till sweet baby girl! I hope you have a wonderful Wednesday and you enjoy that coffee my friend nothing wrong with it at all!!!
I cannot stand when people make comments to pregnant people or assume that someone is pregnant. Unless you have come out and told me yourself that you are in fact pregnant, I DO NOT say a word nor do I even acknowledge it. In fact, two of my co-workers are pregnant, one loves to talk about it and the other doesn’t even want you to acknowledge it, AT ALL. It’s a hard balance. I can’t believe you have one month left! So exciting. Don’t let stupid people upset you!!
In the same way that people shouldn’t ask “why don’t you have any kids”; People should also mind their own fucking business when someone IS pregnant. It’s like people think we still live in 1705 and information isn’t disseminated and it’s their job to tell the “young” lady how she should act because she’s so ignorant. UGH I HATE PEOPLE. (PS. I might be PMSing)
You’re way nicer than I’d be about it. I’d probably be a huge smart ass. The girl at the store? I’d have said, ARE YOU CALLING ME FAT?! Because that’s not awkward. To the roast beef dude, “I try to eat sushi several times a week because I heard that mercury is great for brain development in fetuses.” I’m going to be a wreck.
People are just so freakin’ stupid. What kind of comment is that about having 2 babies? I would have had to throw some sort of shade back at her for that one.
Yep – my step daughter drank coffee the entire pregnancy too – most people that give you grief are probably downing 20 cokes a day & dont think twice about that.
Oh my gosh I totally forgot about the sale at Sephora…I’m pretty pumped now!! I’m so sorry that someone would say such a rude thing to you – how completely inappropriate!! You get a free pass if your workout sneakers don’t fit! xo, Biana –BlovedBoston
I can’t understand people that make comments like that to pregnant women! Like, WHATTT?? Ugh.
So much pregnancy shade being thrown your way… People are bitches.
I never washed my old car. Maybe twice in two years…. And I am PRAYING for some cold weather. And I’m even in Ohio! It’s still 60 to 70 degrees right now. UGH!
The meme about hurrying up to get home to be alone = YES.
I hate that people think they can just say whatever they want to a pregnant woman. There should be an ok to inflict pain upon stupid people if you’re pregnant and need to retaliate. I just don’t get it. I got the same thing with both of my pregnancies as well. I really hope that fall comes for you soon. While I love the warm weather a nice a fall break is a much needed thing. Beautifully Candid
All of your confessions about pregnancy judgment made my blood boil! People need to mind their own business. I remember on Facebook seeing a story where a coffee shop in Australia flat out REFUSED to serve a pregnant woman and eventually were like, “We’ll give you decaf.” Seriously?! In a bar, sure, but a coffee shop?! You’re allowed to have some coffee!
Aside from that, the ecards about outsourcing exercise and wanting to get home to be alone: YES.
I cannot believe all the judgment you’re getting lately from people especially at the grocery store because you are the only one you shop for, apparently?! Gee whiz! Girl, I wouldn’t judge ya, you drink that coffee & buy those goodies for your hubby &, Hell, if you want a glass of wine, go for it! Some people just need to keep their noses to themselves. :\
Oh good gosh at the judgy/rude people in the world! It’s like mind your own business people! And the meme about staying up late to finish reading a book is so me. It’s worth it at the time, but then I definitely regret it the next morning when I can’t wake up lol.
what a fucking bitch! i can’t believe that. i would have asked her when she was due. bitch. i cannot believe those other assholes too. like how do you think i got pregnant, idiots! the man who impregnated me is allowed to eat deli meat and drink beer so fuck off.
lordy i am so annoyed for you! i’m gonna be the biggest bitch out there when it’s my time.
and seriously, drink your coffee. screw them. no-one is perfect, so yeah. you’re drinking coffee, but there are people out there smoking, drinking or worse. i drink 75 diet cokes a day. i doubt i will stop when i get pregnant though i’m sure i will cut it down by like 1 or 2. haha.
Oh man… I’m gonna be such a smart ass bitch when I’m pregnant. I CANNOT WAIT. Although I know it will piss me off too…. To the guy at the deli counter: “Oh really?! Tell me everything YOU learned during YOUR pregnancy!!! I’ll wait.” And I cannot even with people and their ‘how big’ comments. I’ll just be like well, at least I looked better than you when I wasn’t growing a human being.
Is it wrong for me to want to come to your world and punch people on your behalf for being weird and judgy? What the HECK is wrong with people????!!!!!
WTF on all the judgy shit happening! When did people lose their filters?
I need all the cold weather right now too! I’m wearing a chunky sweater and booties today and almost wore a scarf and then I was like oh yeah, it’s 80 today, I guess that’s a no for the scarf… And I’ve totally been building my bag at Sephora too! I can’t wait to push the button on all the goodies and get some great stuff! I also can’t believe that people try to tell you how to be a pregnant woman. It’s really none of their business!
Screw those judgy people, especially the women! Women can be so rude to each other without even realizing it, it seems. Good grief. And that first one? I don’t think my mind would’ve been able to process a response, particularly not a halfway decent/polite one. Coffee is fine, as is a little wine or beer. But anyway. Yay for another December baby! 🙂
Yikes, sorry you are getting so much unsolicited advice right now. People… sigh. On the bright side, at least you are so close to meeting your BABY! 🙂
Sheesh, you’re having a rough week with people being so rude/judgmental about your pregnancy. Some people are so rude and oblivious, I just cannot believe it!
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh my god I want to SMACK everyone who has made comments to you – people have some nerve, I swear. My stance on pregnant women is you give them (well-deserved) compliments and nothing else. You make no mention of their size or behaviors and you STFU about anything you’re unsure of. I CANNOT.
Remind me come December to come back and comment what I actually want to say on this post, you’ll laugh then!
Ugh the judgey eyes while getting coffee are the worst, it shows you how misinformed people are. I only experienced it a few times, but it was ridiculous. My doctor told me 2 cups of coffee a day and a glass of red wine here and there was more than perfectly fine. And I’m so sorry that lady was so rude to you, I had someone say the same thing to me when they asked when I was due. I was like “Ummm gee thanks?!” People suck.
OMFG. I am so mad just reading this post! What the hell is wrong with people?! It would NEVER occur to me to say any of these things to people… and I rarely hold back. I just don’t understand. Is everyone socially inept. I don’t know how you didn’t punch the sales associate in particular in the face! Holy shit. I am feeling you on the weather. It was 85 here today. We didn’t even get a fall. I’m over it.
The opinions that people have about pregnant women is INSANE. I experienced some of this too and it’s mind blowing. Good for you for just rolling your eyes at the cashier, lol!
Other people are the worst! Also, the shoes not fitting…definitely a sign that you get a break.
I am baffled by the rudeness and the comments from random strangers. WTF is wrong with people?!? You know what? I saw a woman in a bar carrying a beer bottle, and she was pregnant. I assumed she was taking it to a friend or her husband. And guess what, even if she was drinking that bottle of beer, I am no one to this woman, so who am I to say “I hope that’s not for you”?
omg what a see you next tuesday! people are so rude! i would have knocked em out!
Hahaha, I hate everyone. They’re so rude, and I hate people all up in your shizz. LIKE FUCK OFF. I wonder if people in other countries are as rude to pregnant women as they are here? I’ve always wondered that. Also, it is SO hard to be right all the time. 🙂
People and their opinions, ugh! Tell them MYOB, STFU, and Have a nice day. Bye Felicia! Have you seen Starbucks’s green cup yet? I totally think you should definitely take the rest of your pregnancy to just sit back and relax. A month off is good for the soul, but I guess if you have to just settle for a spa day, that’ll work too. Tell Chris you need a day of pampering.
