Oh my, I certainly don't remember this with my 1st pregnancy...I feel like I am under everyone's radar! My coworkers are hounding me for everything I put in my mouth, if it isn't to healthy then it is to fattening!! WOW- I didn't know people felt this strong about what I ate!!

Exactly! I just couldn't believe it this morning, I had a bag of peanutb___ter M&M's and Skittles on my desk. I have been munching on them for a while and seriously plan to for a while ( I don't eat candy fast) and this woman comes up and was like "WOW, don't we have quite the stash up here. I can't believe you can eat that" I was like oh it's just a little something and she started laughing with this sarcastic laugh "A little something huh, looks like alot to me!" Um ok lady. This is the same one that saw me drinking "coke" and said "wow are we trying to make our baby hyper?" I was like "Um it is caffeine free" Screw off! ha!

Actually I had a cousin say to me the other day at my other cousin's baby shower..."Jeez, you've been up to this pastry table 3 times already....." actually I had been up there 1 time for myself and twice for my 9 month old cousin who had "sausage fingers and toes" and could barely walk....the nerve of some people. I didnt even know what to say to her.

Some people are just rude! So what if you want to snack on M&Ms or any other candy! What because we are pregnant we cant enjoy any treats? I say ignore them and keep enjoying - I plan too! Its pretty infuriating isnt it!!

Screw them all! :o) As long as you're getting your protein, fruits and veggies you're more than ent_tled to indulge in some treats! I just sat down and ate a pint of Hagen Daas. I don't feel the slightest bit guilty. (Ok, a little, my a__s is going to be the size of Jaba the Hun in no time but, it sure brought a smile to my face!)

haha Right on MurphBabes!!! The last couple of nights before bed I HAVE to have a hot milo and a couple of Tim Tams or I feel like life is just not the same haha - its my guilty pleasure - I have really been craving sweet stuff - which I dont usually go for - but now I do apparently hee hee. You know doughnuts, Cinamon scrolls, chocolate - but I eat my good stuff too so I fully intend to keep enjoying my treats!!! :)

The next time someone says something to you. Say this, "honey, I am doing great, however, you look as though you could lose a few" Then just go about your day.

Hi ladies! And its not just what you eat right? Because i had my 1st anniversary party last wkend and then someone came over and told me not to dance as it was bad for me, i mean, hey i only did 4 dances with dh during the whole evening and i stuck to easy ones at that. I mean a girl has to relax at some point right?? I was sat the rest of the night. Oh and people keep telling me im huge for my months (which is true) but its all bump, so im saying yeah this is probably a huge baby tho - what can i do bout it?? And another one im getting is the old - your not drinking enough water - like they watch me 24hrs a day or something. I swear im drinking pints from morning til night, but they just dont believe me. Sigh....x x

haha I am cracking up right now! I was visiting a friend and I was crossing the road and I did a little jog across the intersection - I am talking like 8 steps!!! And my friend is like - OOOHH dont run, you cant run anymore, your pregnant! HUH?? I mean I am not running a marathon - only across the road? Her heart was in the right place but it was a bit much! I also get a few of the comments from the older generation when I say no to cold meats and stuff - Oh rubbish we ate it when we were pregnant and everything was fine! haha you cant win!!! :)

This reminds me of a story I read somewhere - a pregnant lady and her friend where in the bottle shop buying booze for her husbands work party or something. She was saying the amount of dirty looks she got was insane! By the time she got to the checkout she had had it - so she said very loudly to her friend - whats with all the dirty looks I am getting - Dont they know I am drinking for two now!!! haha Priceless - I would have loved to have seen the onlookers faces!!! :)
