People would stop asking how in coping, and when I say fine you get the sympathetic 'poor you' comments, EVEN THOUGH YOU SAID YOUR FINE!

Gosh it's driving me mad x

Yes!

I'm just sick of people staring at me tbh, in the supermarket I get so many people touching me and giving me that sympathetic smile.... GO AWAY!

 

[BKR123]

Haha! The stares really get to me as well, it's like they have never seen someone pregnant before! I can't wait to have her then I will be proud to give them something to stare at, right now in my current puffed up state I don't like the stares at all, haha xx

I think that most people stare at pregnant women because they are naturally drawn to them. We feel self-conscious about it because of the changes we are aware of in our own body. You may feel like you are in a 'puffed up state' but that is not what most other people see!

The touching thing gets on my nerves, but have touching issues! lol

 

[Doodles]

Hallelujah! I hate people asking me this, the first person that did just got a stupid look & reply of "fine, why?"

 

[SpinSugar]

The thing is, asking how are you coping is silly. You don't really have a choice, we all just have to get on with it. Life doesn't just stop if were pregnant!

I guess some people just don't really know what to say and are trying to acknowledge your pregnancy in a sympathetic way.

Round here, pregnancy seems to be ignored, you won't get someone giving up a seat or moving out of your way. I guess its cos I live in a chavvy town were evrey other woman is pregnant lol xx

I know it's annoying but it's nature for people to be protective over pregnant women. Most people have the instinct. Try not to take it personally xxx
