Do you/Have you gotten this?

[ElleJay]

So, I had an emergency c-section 6 and a half months ago for DS to come into this world. I've just gone back to work last week and I've worked 3 shifts... and every damn shift, there's always at least 3 or 4 smarta...es that say 'You sure your not pregnant again?'

I know they're probably joking, but just because I still have a lot of my stomach after DS was born, doesn't mean I'm pregnant! I get so upset by it because all I can think is 'How would you like it if I said the same thing!!?' My self esteem plummets which isn't good in the job I've got, and I feel like rubbish for the whole shift.
Just because I'm at home with my DS, doesn't mean I get to excerise all the time!

ARGH!
Sorry, just venting

HOW RUDE!! could you maybe just reply with that? you know ask them if there pregnant? or bugger it....just kick 'em in the shins!!!!

PO5, don't tempt me!

The last person (the 6th one) that said it to me drove me so mad that I just ranted and raved out loud in the staff canteen. They asked and I said 'No, I'm not f**ing pregnant again, and i wish people would stop saying that! I have a baby and I don't find the time for excercise, IF YOU MUST KNOW! So get off my case, ok?!'
As you can tell, they peeved me off

I agree, a swift "yes, I'm sure, but what about you, are they twins?", male OR female

That used to drive me nuts too! My answer was simply, 'no, just fat, but thanks for rubbing it in!'
Now I am pregnant & half way through, I only have some days when I actually look pregnant...people are starting to wonder if I am! That drives me just as nuts, lol!!

I actually said the fat thing not so long ago....turns out I was! But it wasn't the belly she noticed. Apparently I was glowing...I actually told her to kiss my bum! No way in heck was I pregnant.......lol

I get the same thing hun, but for me its over 18 months ago! LOL, oh well...I have noticed though, when I get up in the morning, before I eat anything, my tummy looks ok (with clothes on!) but as soon as I eat anything I look about 5 months pregnant...im too scared to do any situps or anything due to the muscle separation i got, hope fully be going to see a physio soon to sort all that out.

I agree with what clover said, something short and sweet which perfectly gets the point across.
