Why do some people feel it’s necessary to comment on the size of your stomach why you are pregnant? Why is it so hard to find maternity shirts that hug your curves instead of exaggerate them?
I was having a good day today even growing comfortable with my ever expanding belly. Happy that the size of my belly almost matches how far along I am. I went through the entire day wonderfully. No comments, even though I am wearing one of those maternity shirts. The kind that scream I’m pregnant, that make you look like your closer to having a baby then growing one.
Everything was great until I picked up my daughter at daycare. First, it was the psychologist, “Are you sure you’re due in December?” I politely laugh it off. After all I can excuse him since he is a man. But then he is a psychologist and should no better. Then it was one of the mother’s, “Almost there?” I again say politely, “No, not yet.” And then my favorite of all, “Wow, you sure there aren’t two in there?”
What are you really supposed to say after that? I mean this is another mother who no doubt had people making the same comments to her at some point. Is it the slip of the tongue? Do people just forget what it’s like?
My 2 minutes are up.
