things you shouldn't say/do to a pregnant woman!

Washing my hands in the restroom of a restaurant, the woman washing her hands next to me asks if I'm pregnant, then how far along I am, then spins me around and feels up my belly. Not put her hand on my belly, feels it up, molests, my belly. It was all so fast, it was so aggressive. I didn't have time to stop it, I didn't know what was going on. It was intrusive. Then it was over and she walked away. Just because I'm pregs doesn't mean that my boundaries 0f personal space have changed.

I want to get a shirt that says "hands off" or "ask first please" or "stay the fuck back" whatever, you get my meaning!!

In a store talking to a sales woman and mention that I'm pregnant. She says "really? How far along are you?" I tell her 6.5 months. She says "you're hardly showing. Most people probably just think you're chunky not pregnant". Um excuse me did you just call a pregnant lady fat? First let me say that I am indeed clearly pregnant, undeniably pregnant. The huge belly coming off my body should be the first indicator. Second, when someone tells you they are pregnant you should say the one thing that all pregnant women want to hear "YOU ARE ALL BELLY"!!!! Those words are powerful, they mean you haven't gained any weight except in your massive pregnant stomach and from the back I would never have know but from the front you are clearly beautifully blessed with child. How hard is it to say that. ready all together now "All Belly"!!! The words chunky, fat, large, surprisingly big etc should never be uttered to a pregnant woman!!!

So in closing: don't molest my baby bump and don't call me fat. Is that too much to ask?

moron

Skinny Maternity Jeans are an oxymoron

I'm a moron for buying them

And my moronic status is confirmed by the fact that I continue to put them on even though they are uncomfortable just because they look cute.

I'm 6 months pregnant for goodness sake I should be wearing my yoga pants every day with pride!!
