Funniest things people have said to you while pregnant

So, it seems like a lot of us are stressed out about stupid comments from people about being "huge" or "about ready to pop," so I thought to lighten the mood we could take a survey: what are the funniest things that people have said to you while you're pregnant?

My DH's aunt told me that she could tell who was "in charge" in the bedroom by what gender baby a couple has. After finding out I'm having a second girl she said I must like to be "dominated" in the bedroom

. It's fun hearing that from your DH's aunt, let me tell you....

Last night my dad said I looked like "a galleon in full sail" and then quickly amended that it had "nothing to do with pregnancy". Interpret that how you will!

I got told by 3 different women yesterday that I have "that look". When pressed, I found out that "that look" is the "I'm going to have a baby this week" look. o...k. Granted, it would be nice to have her, because I am really ready, but I just thought it was funny that there was a "look" associated with it.

A man (stranger mind you) stopped me at work and said "do you know that when a man sees a pregnant woman his eyes dialate in such a way as to suggest 'stay away from her.'" He said this at the counter of the natural food store I work at in front of all of my co-workers and some customers....

best line by far though came from DH...we were walking leisurley down the street (I was 33 weeks) and he mentioned how he wanted to get coffee and sit outside. Nearing the coffeeshop he says "It doesn't look like there's anywhere to sit outside." Being the observant person I am pointed out the perfectly suitable and available table and chairs right in front of us (yeah they were right in front of us), saying "we could sit there." DH responds, "You sure you're going to fit??"

to which he immediately back pedals and states, "I mean.......are you going to be comfortable in this chairs??"

I laughed but only because I could genuinely tell he didn't mean what he said...but the words just came out a bit wrong.

Breezy - That is just WAY funny!!!

Erica - SO funny how the DHs will say things without thinking! DH did this ti me at McDonald's the other day... I asked him if we were going to eat there or take it to go. He said, "Well, I think we should probably get it to go because I don't think you can fit in the booths anymore"!

He got all red in the face when he realized what he had said! I just thought it was funny and told him that if he wanted to stay there and eat, I'd make it work!

The funniest thing that someone has said to me was said to me by my dear, favorite uncle who passed away this past April. He said it to me my last two pregnancies, and to be honest, I feel jipped that he passed away before I got "big enough" for him to say it to me this time around (So it has gone from funny to a sentimental thing...) He always said, "Girl! You look like you swallowed a watermelon!" (Okay. Now I've made myself all hormonal-emotional and teary, so ya'll had better get to posting some more funnies so I can laugh some more!!!

Y'know, I think it's sweet. Sailing ships are gorgeous.

I'm pretty short. The not so tall or petite local librarian said to me about a month ago... "So, how are you feeling other than stout?"

Ahhhhh, pregnancy, the only time in the world it is socially acceptable to tell a woman she is fat.
