OMG
Can you say Faux Pas? So I’m practically in tears as I write this. I came in to work this morning and stopped in the cafeteria. One of the cafeteria ladies ASKED ME IF WAS PREGNANT! At first I said no but then I could tell that she felt really bad so I said, “Actually I am but I’m not telling anyone here at work til next week so please don’t say anything.” Then I asked her why she thought that. You know, I was thinking maybe she heard it from someone but NO! She says, “Well, you had just lost so much weight and you were so skinny.” Um, wrong answer lady!!! Isn’t that like a cardinal rule that EVERYONE, not just women should know?? You don’t ask ANYONE, EVER, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES if they are pregnant!! RIGHT??? Ugh….I thought this was the time that you’re supposed to enjoy food and not worry about your diet and all that and then someone comes up and tells you that you used to be so skinny? Her body was certainly nothing to brag about either by the way. I mean, I know that my pants are getting a little tighter. They’re being held together by a hair band for God’s sake. I don’t need to be told by someone else that I’m gaining weight though! Whew…I guess maybe it’s time to him the gym ASAP. Now all I can think about is not gaining too much weight so it isn’t too difficult to lose after I have the baby. Thanks a lot lady for ruining my pregnancy euphoria! This is not one I will forget any time soon! Please. Someone. Tell me this has happened to you. I need a support group.

Women can sometimes have an intuition about these things. If she really thought you were just getting fat, she wouldn't have said anything. She probably noticed a hint of a bump and then just "knew". I wouldn't be offended, but proud to be soon showing off that same bump!
ReplyDeleteHoly Crap!!!! How dare someone say that to you! Please don't be self concious of what you eat or how fast or slow you are gaining weight. As long as you are eating pretty healthy and the baby is getting all the nutrients he/she needs then you are doing great! I am taking extra viatims of Calcium and omega 3 for the baby because I know I don't get enough of it.
ReplyDeleteI was wearing maternity clothes towards the end of my first trimester, but wasn't looking pregnant, just that I gained weight, if that makes sense.
Please don't let this one woman bother you! She means nothing!!
Thanks for the support girls! I guess it must not have bothered me that much because I still went out to dinner Friday and Saturday night this weekend! I can't wait to head up to the Mall of America this weekend to get some new clothes!! I'm telling people at work on Wednesday and I can't wait!
ReplyDeleteHey Ab! I am so sorry that someone made you upset. But, please don't let that bother you. The only important thing is the health of the baby. Don't be afraid to eat extra because of someones opinion. I love you!!!
