It's not being uncomfortable, having to pee alot, back pain, etc. I expect those and they're just a natural part of carrying another human being inside your body. But I get so sick of people's ridiculous comments. I'm not saying I don't like to talk about my pregnancy. I'll stand around and talk about it and answer your questions all day if you want. Especially if you want to talk about natural/homebirth. :) However, one lady already told me, when I was only 24 weeks, that I looked like I'd already "dropped." Really? At 24 weeks? No, I just carry low. Thanks, though, for your comments about my body. And yesterday at church I had this conversation that just baffled me.
This lady asked me if I was ready to have the baby. I just looked at her and said, "No. He's not due until the end of August. It would be a REALLY bad thing if he came now." (Besides the fact that I love being pregnant, this is the last time I plan to do it and I intend to enjoy every little wiggle even when it's 100 degrees outside. :))
She asks how many weeks I am and I said, "I'm only 28 weeks." She, through this entire conversation, is eyeing my stomach skeptically like she expects Caedon to explode out of there at any moment. Again, really? I don't think I'm THAT big. I have, in my opinion, a pretty typical 6-months-along-with-my-third-baby pregnant belly.
Good grief. I totally agree with you here! People can be so rude.
