I think I may hav...Just had it happen again today. I think I may have diastasis recti from my first pregnancy, though I've been getting the dreaded question since before he was born. The things that made this time the worst were that 1) the lady asking was a plus-size woman so you'd think she'd have some inkling of the possible consequences of asking it, and 2) the way she asked made it seem as though she had been observing me for the past few weeks (at work) and felt as though it was firmly obvious enough that I am definitely pregnant. Like she knew it was a tricky subject but now she was sure, so it'd be okay. <br /><br />I've always wanted to come back with a snappy rejoinder, but I find the person asking never means to insult, so I can't bear to insult them back. I just know how embarrassed I'd feel if I had asked. Maybe that's just weird Canadian politeness... It's disappointing not to have some kind of socially acceptable way to tell a person they just made you feel like shit. I'd love a button or something...tamikohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09481523309108135574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-982236895134441993.post-83480863280475626752012-10-21T12:39:54.285-05:002012-10-21T12:39:54.285-05:00Of course I did.

Although when I was about 6 months along my husband's very nice and well meaning grandparents said "you look like you are pregnant now, you didn't really before" meaning I was so fat no one could tell I was pregnant for the first 6 months. And I am still fat, so don't worry about it. Imagine having an extra 94 lbs to lose!

What she did not announce is that she miscarried. (there should be a law!) Anyways, I show up at a huge family Thanksgiving dinner and waltz right to the middle of the room and put my hand right on her belly and squeel "OOOOHHHH look! You can already start to see the baby!!" Soooo, not only did I rub salt in her miscarriage wound, I called her fat. After her mom pulled me aside and told me and I got to thinking about it, had she not miscarried she should have been like 6 months pregnant by then, so a pooch is not what she should have been sporting if she had still been pregnant, which made me feel even worse. Yeah, she and I are just not as close as we used to be, though how close were we if she didnt't even tell me she miscarried? SO, now...I have a rule, I say NOTHING about being pregnant to ANYONE unless I see a tiny foot protruding from their body or they say it first, I don't care how obvious it seems. (and even with a tiny foot, I might just offer any assistance they need and still not say anything about being pregnant - thats just how bad I felt/feel). <br />I hope they figure out your belly weight gain, mine is from beer. :)<br />DevanTNMomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16811407816593020440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-982236895134441993.post-80494209797320706022012-10-18T21:55:06.535-05:002012-10-18T21:55:06.535-05:00I have a friend who always just goes with it when ...I have a friend who always just goes with it when someone assumes she's pregnant.

Way to really drive home the fact that I'm no where near the weight I was before I had my first child.

I can...I totally read that line in his voice, too!<br /><br />I can't believe how stupid people are. I was terrified of that happening to me, and I think the only reason it didn't is because I was fat ALL OVER after having my kids, so people just figured I was a fat ass. You are way more slender everywhere else (from the pics I've seen)and so to just have a tummy might make people think "oh, baby!" (This is a compliment, please don't tell me to fuck off!)<br /><br />The other day at the park, a lady was OBVIOUSLY hugely pregnant, and I WAS STILL was hesitant to ask her about it (we were already talking about kids and it was the appropriate next question for me to ask her) because you just never know. This time, it worked out okay; she is due in like, three weeks.Motherhood: A Descent Into Madnesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11536244695350565096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-982236895134441993.post-86582858384347059452012-10-18T09:11:24.844-05:002012-10-18T09:11:24.844-05:00My dad had the nerve to ask some poor woman that i...My dad had the nerve to ask some poor woman that in the grocery store (she wasn't pregnant.)
