So I know that pregnant women mostly get those ghastly comments made to them like "oh you've really popped," and "my, you are growing". Believe me, I have had enough of them so far this pregnancy that it makes me want to puke. Especially when they say these things and have just seen me a week prior!! (Seriously, how much can I really grow in 1 week!!!!!) Anyhow, I got a very nice comment tonight and wanted to share. I was at my daughter's spring concert and saw a friend of mine who commented that I looked good. I replied that I was feeling sooooo huge. Then a woman that I don't really know overheard the conversation and said "you look beautiful". She proceeded to ask when I was due and then said again, "you just look absolutely beautiful!!" Boy, did that one, nice comment make this huge and miserable pregnant lady feel good!! (even if only for a few moments!!)

Aww- how nice! I had a garage sale this Saturday and had two women (who did not even speak English) comment on how cute I looked, and told me I was having a girl-lol

Then yesterday while returning a movie at the store I had another two women tell me how cute my belly was

I never was one to get that many comments, so he few nice ones are fun!

I put on a new (hand me down) dress today, and my friend looked and me and told me that I looked gorgeous.

Mind you, this was the first thing out of her mouth when I went to go complement her on her new baby born yesterday!

I love this idea!

I visited a friend a week or so ago and when I got home there was an email from her that said "I just wanted to say that you looked really pretty today." How nice! I hadn't even showered!

Also, the girl who does occasional babysitting for us (I say girl but I think she is 24- yikes, makes me feel old!) told me that I truly have the "pregnancy glow" and that my skin has never looked better. Maybe that's because all the weight I am gaining is smoothing out my wrinkles!! But still nice to hear.

I got an "oh how cute!" today at the bus stop, it's finally warm here so my belly is not hiding under a coat or sweatshirt anymore.

Then about 2 weeks ago I got hit on,

. It was cold and really windy so I had my hoodie wrapped around me and I was carrying a large book across my chest, so it was not obvious I was pregnant. I got to the train station and see this guy look me up and down before he walks over and asks suavely how I'm doing and offers his hand to shake. I said I was fine, while sweeping my hoodie aside, putting my hand on my hip, and sticking out my preggo belly. He was like

"oh." I said "yeah, sorry I'm taken." It was pretty funny, and definitely a little confidence booster.

Lol- that is too funny!

I totally splurged this past weekend and bought a new dress at Gap Maternity. It was totally out of my usual price range for maternity clothes, but I just loved how cute and flattering it was so I bought it. I wore it to work today and one of my clients said to me, only you could manage to look so cute and stylish 7 months pregnant.

It made me feel great, especially with all the swelling and sudden cellulite appearing on my thighs.

Someone told me the other day that I looked really cute (why do women always have to add.... not huge and fat like I looked when I was pregnant....), anyway, I tend to carry pretty small so nobody believes I'm as far along as I really am. For now.

This is a nice thread. It reminded me that about a month ago, I was in Old Navy with my 2 yo ds in tow, and a 19-year-old-ish guy totally eyed me and said "how's it going" in a way that made me run giggling to my dh. I'm not sure what his issue was - I'm almost 30, pregnant, and pulling a toddler by the hand, but it was flattering nonetheless.

Also, my dh's uncle told me that I look so cute pregnant I'll have to have more children. I felt pretty frumpy that day, so that was nice to hear.

I love this thread.

I have been very lucky in that I basically carry my babies in front and I am basically "all baby". I have had several friends/coworkers tell me that they are jealous and want my body when they are pregnant. And apparently you can't tell I am pregnant from behind. I guess that is a good thing.

I've basically gotten nothing but good comments. I love hearing "wow, you've grown" ... it makes me feel like I'm growing a healthy baby! I'm always a little concerned that I'm not gaining enough (17lbs so far, I know that's pretty much right on, but everyone else seems to gain more...) Most people just say, "you look great!" and leave it at that. A lot of people say that it doesn't look like I'm 6 months along and I have mixed feelings about that, like my baby is going to be small and sick.

I've been told that I have the "glow." Angelorum, that is funny. I've gotten hit on too and I definitely had a belly then.

 

[gossamerwindweb]

The only people who comment at all really are my family members. DH tells me all the time that my belly is 'pretty' LOL!

When I was pg with DD (about 20 weeks), some guy hit on me. I told him that I was pregnant, and he said, "That's okay, I've heard about pregnant women" and then he winked. Ewwwww.

Last week my neighbor (mom of 3) told me I looked cute. That is really about it. DH just says, "wow, you really look pregnant."

 

[famille_huggins]

I love this thread! I've had my share of crazy comments, but at Bunko on Monday night, several of the ladies told me I looked really pretty. No, really pretty! I was surprised because I felt like a big, bloated whale.

 

[veganmama719]

My DH tells me often that I am an incedibly sexy PG woman. It's nice.

I get told a lot that I look cute. Which is not something I usually hear in my professional life of course as I am a stockbroker and most people don't go around telling stockbrokers that they look cute, LOL!

I feel huge, even though I have only gained about 17 lbs at 27 weeks, so it is nice to get the positive comments.

Yesterday before rehearsal got started everyone was milling about chatting and one of our basses looked at me, gave me a thumbs up and said, "hey, nice pregnancy" I thought it was such a funny comment I just laughed and said thanks.

 

[honeybunny65]

I'ma teacher and I get asked daily when I'm do by coworkers. Sometimes I feel like when I say July, people think thats really far away. So now I say I'm do in July and that I just hit 7 months. Well today 2 different women said "Wow! You look really good for 7 months your still small." All I HAD been getting was wow your getting big.

Needless to say, it was so nice to hear.

This week another mom in my playgroup told me I look adorable, which was a huge change from the usual "oh, you've popped" comments. I seriously wanted to kiss her!

 

[bajamergrrl]

I got a lot of really good comments today along the lines of "pregnancy agrees with you," and "you're so cute."
