- "You're not pregnant AGAIN!" No, I'm naturally this fat and hid it well up until 6 months ago.
- "What have you been eating then?" Babies, apparently.
- "You're putting on weight all over, aren't you?" Thanks, because I wanted to feel fatter than I already do.
- "You can't have long left now/You look ready to pop!" Unfortunately not, but how kind of you to notice how huge I am!
- "Pregnancy is not an illness/an excuse to slow down etc..." So I should over-exert myself and end up doing myself and my baby harm?
- Touching the bump - especially sneaking up from behind or from the first trimester! Seriously: get a grip! You aren't touching the baby, you're touching my skin and I do not like it.
- "Another one already? Are you MAD?" Oh I'm sorry, I didn't realise you doubted my ability to cope with more than one child.
- (After the birth) "So did you poo?" ...Why are you that interested?
- (After the birth) "An 8lb baby? OMG that's huge... there's no coming back from that, you're gonna be saggy down there for life!" Cheers, I worked that hard for that long and that's what I get for it!
- "You can't do that, you're pregnant!" I feel able to do it and so I shall.
- "Awwww, bless you!" Thanks for letting me know how awful I look!
- (When expecting a baby of the opposite sex to LO)"One of each, that's nice - you can stop now." I didn't realise it was considered good form to stop having children once you've had at least one of each gender!

Really Annoying Things Non-Pregnant People Do
Having a huge baby bump gives people a special pass to insult you, or so it seems. Not a day goes by where somebody rudely interrupts my day: stopping me to chat when they normally wouldn't look at me, insulting me in any which way they can, touching me without asking (cringe!) are just a few of the things people continue to do even when you've told them not to!

I know exactly what you mean. When I was pregnant my one pet hate was total strangers coming up to touch my bump. I am not a petting zoo is what i would growl x
