...asked my how I'm doing today. My response to each and every one of them was "I'm fine. Are you going to ask me how I'm doing every day for the next 211 days? Cuz that could get kind of old." I may put a sign on my office door that says "I'm pregnant, not terminally ill".

And seriously, if one more person tells me what I should or shouldn't be doing right now, I think I'm going to explode.

My secretary walked in today and said ">GASP< YOU SHOULDN'T BE EATING THOSE!!!" What was I eating, you ask? GRAHAM CRACKERS!

:

Thanks for listening.

What's bugging you today?

Zero people asked me how I'm doing in the last three months.

How rude of your secretary. Strange, how everyone suddenly feels the need to tell you what to do.

I haven't told many people yet. But a friend of my husband's knows and he treats me like an egg - very careful, so I am not breaking. Every little breather is acknowledged and commented on, when I slowed down (to take a photo) he wondered if I am alright.

It is weired to get so much attention, but so far I can also sort of enjoy it.

Regarding bugging: I hate my morning sickness. It really starts to annoy me.

Around the world is the same thing, people like to give their opinion even if you don't ask anything

: and if you respect the special diets for your pregnancy.....everyone ask you for one time make an exception and broke the rules.............or is one thing or another

What's wrong with graham crackers??? Never heard that one!!

My dd just came down with a stomach bug

I'm praying I don't catch it.

I agree! I keep getting wow you look so tired. Really thanks that makes me feel so much better. I'm doing all I can to keep my lunch in my stomach and stay awake for longer than 5 hours, I'm probably not going to look great!

How are you doing mama?

I think once you have a few kids nobody thinks to ask about how you are doing anymore. I know except for my mother I rarely get asked how I am. That's okay though because yeah it would get old to have people asking me all the time.

Most people know better than to ask me 'cause they know I'll tell them the truth!

When people ask how you're doing, what exactly about it bothers you? I like it. It means they are concerned about you and are thinking of you, as well as acknowledging the changes in your life. I prefer that to them just ignoring me and forgetting that I am pregnant, you know? For the most part, they don't mean anything bad by it. I suppose it could get old if it happened all the time, everyday. But especially during the 1st trimester, which everyone knows can be pretty rough, I think it's natural to express concern. It makes me feel like people care. And if not, then maybe it's just small talk, and all they expect is an "I'm fine."

Now of course, if people were scolding me for what I was eating, and telling me what I can't and can do, that would make me angry.

That's a different story. But just to ask how I'm feeling? That's fine, IMO.

That's actually kinda sad. I never considered that.

I sort of agree and I do understand your point and I also understand, why people ask. But sometimes the questions and the concerned looks several times in an afternoon from the same person, make me feel "breakable" and "vulnerable". I don't like that feeling, or the implied assumption, that I am weak. I do better, when people trust me and my abilities and have confidence in me. But I understand where they come from and I can live with it

Its true. No one asks me how I am doing because they all think that I knew what I got myself into so I am on my own.

Well I have to say that I am not with the norm on this one, I LOVE it when people ask how I'm doing! Showing that they care enough, but no one asks me everyday, so I guess that could get old if it was happening!

On the side of people telling me what to eat and what not to.. I'd flip out on them.. haha.. I'm sorry, mama! You'd think she'd walked in on you with a bottle of vodka in your hand!
