WTF? Today THREE different people told me, at THREE separate times, that I wasn't "big" enough to be as pregnant as I am. Read the title: NOBODY ASKED YOU!
Here's how it went down- The first person (who has had kids of her own), asked when I was due.
"March 5th." I reply.
"Oh? How far along are you?"
"32 Weeks."
"You don't look big enough to be that far along."
Awkward pause.
I finally say, "Well, I am."
So this gets me a bit miffed. I've been thinking that I look pretty big. My doctor even said I measured a week big! But then it gets me thinking. What if some thing's wrong? I haven't felt him move as much lately. And I am feeling very weird. Well, I go to the doctor Friday, so I'll ask.
Fast forward a few hours. This time I hear: "I didn't even know you were pregnant!"
I am all astonishment. "Did you just think I was getting fat?"
"No, you didn't seem any different."
Gee, thanks. Either 1) You are an unobservant twat. 2) I've been totally exaggerating my size in my mind. 3) Something is wrong! So I'm back to worry mode. Scratch that: I'm in SUPER worry mode. He's not moving, he's totally not moving. Why am I feeling all this pressure? Shouldn't he be moving like crazy this far along? I had weird cramps the other day....
Then even later- "You don't look all that pregnant."
Now I'm just in a pissy mood. "Well I am." Bitch.
Hey World- feel free to keep your fucking thoughts to yourself. You are NOT an ob-gyn. You don't know what the hell you are talking about. How dare you spread your vile thoughts, getting me all worked up by insensitively throwing out these judgements? Screw you!
