Pregnancy 5 Ways to Respond to Stupid Comments!
I read this article in Pregnancy & Birth mag yesterday its called 5 Ways to Respond to Stupid Comments, I thought id share it as I found it really amusing ;)
People say the most ridiculous things to pregnant women. Be armed and ready with these clever comebacks.
"oh my your bump is so big/small"
You Say; "thats so funny because someone said the exact opposite to me yesterday. But as my doctor says anyone who thinks bump size is an indication of the size of my baby is clearly misguided. It's just like assuming a man who drives a big car has a big..."
"Well your definitely having a boy/girl"
You Say; "oh no here I was hoping it would be a suprise and now you've gone and ruined it! How did you know? I've been to the ultrasounds and couldnt see a thing - but somehow you can just look at my bump and know straight away. Your powers are amazing"
"Child Birth is the most painful thing that you will ever go through"
You Say; "Yes I figured that it was called labor and not rest and relaxation for good reason. personally I couldnt think of anything more painful then not having this baby, so I'm really looking forward to the birth and bring he/she into our lives."
"You can say Goodbye to your social life"
You Say; "Really? I was thinking id join a mothers group, go to playgroup, catch mums n bubs movies, see my stay - at - home mum mates, book babysitters for nights out, leave my partner to look after the baby while I catch up with friends..."
"A Baby means the end of your sex life"
You Say: "If we can still do it with the baby kicking me from the inside, I think we'll manage it in while he/she sleeps in the room next door. And really if having a baby meant no more sex, the world would consist of single child families. Im one of three kids, so my parents managed to do it at least twice after giving birth to me"
