22-6-2009 - Top 10 Things to NOT say

My mood while writing this blog: Fed up!

---

Top 10 things to NOT say to a 39 1/2 week pregnant woman (I have heard ALL of these in the last 24 hours and I'll bet most of you have too!!!)

10. "Are you still here?" - Coworker in the hallway (no stupid, I'm an aberration)
9. "Why are you still here?" - Coworker in line at cafeteria (same reason you are, I like to eat, have to work... I need my paycheck too).
8. "Didn't you have that baby yet?" - Coworker stopping by my office (why yes I did....last night, and here I am reporting for duty!)
7. "When is that baby coming?" - Random person who I see in the hall sometimes but don't really know (Would you like tonights lotto numbers too?)
6. "Look how big you are!!!" - In laws!!!... and my boss (something you commonly say to a woman when you have a death wish? ...or would you really like a harassment claim too?)
5. "Are you getting excited?" - coworker in the bathroom (to pee? Actually yes I am...now get the hell out of my way!)
4. "You don't want to know?" - coworker asking about baby's gender (yes, eventually we may want to...in a few years perhaps...with people like this on payroll, no wonder our company is struggling)
3. "You don't want to get induced!" - coworker's advice if the baby doesn't come by 40 weeks and 5 days...when the doctor said he will serve the eviction notice (yes, you're right, I'll just stay pregnant for f-in ever because it feels great!!!)
2. "he-he-he-ha-ha-ha blow blow blow" - relative demonstrating how I should breath during labor (WTF?!?!)
1. "Well, we knew this wouldn't be easy" - husband on pregnancy in general and all the aches and pains. (WE???????!!!!!!$@#*!)

Awesome! We have very similar personalities, I think! Too bad we don't live closer together, because I think we could be good friends!! : )

That cracks me up! I actually lost it today when a guy asked me today at work, "Weren't you due a week ago?" I finally said, "NO!--- and word of advice NEVER ask a pregnant women a question like that! IT'S INSULTING!!!"

You are to funny and the he he ha ha breathing method DOES NOT WORK, in through you r nose and out your mouth slowly while thinking of anything other than the pain. Worked great for noth of my kids.

Have you heard this one yet? "Oh, you should wait until June 30, that's my birthday" or "Don't have it on June 30, that's so&so's birthday, and they're crazy!"
