"So.... When are you due?"

"What was that...   what do I do?"  I asked


"No.....   when are you due?   You're pregnant right?"          <----   that must have been what my face looked like because she immediately apologized and said " You have such a healthy glow"   Yeah, so every glowing woman I bet you ask when they're due right?


FANTASTIC.    Three months to go until the wedding, and I apparently have a pregnant-looking belly to work off.
Not that there's anything wrong with that, pregnant women are beautiful....   when they're pregnent.

I'm so pissed.

Mary, I would be pissed too. People are so stupid. I've never seen you in person, but you've posted pics and I can't imagine anyone would even THINK that.

Easier said than done.........I know. But   "F"   them..........they are an idiot.

When life hands you lemons, ask for tequila & salt and give me a call!

Mary,
I am so sorry that happened to you. If it makes you feel better it was my last day at work before I took my maternity leave and I was saying goodbye to everybody and this supervisor who btw was a man says to me "why are you leaving the company" and I point to the belly and say I am ready to give birth and he says he is sorry he just figured I was putting on a little weight. I must have cried for the next 6 months just thinking about the comment.

Don't let those hurtful comments hurt you. You are glowing and a beautiful person inside and out.

People comment on my over 100 pound weight loss and attribute it to my WILLpower, but it is my WANTpower: I WANT to be thin and healthy more than anything else!

After I removed my foot from her ass I Would  have told her that I wasn't expecting that it is the "healthy just about to be married and lost 200+ pounds GLOW!"

People are stupid!!

Mary, I've seen you in person and have also seen your photos on your profile---I can't imagine anyone thinking you're pregnant!!!!  That woman is an idiot---put her out of your mind!!!   You're going to be a stunning bride!!!!

She doesn't look pregnant.

If anybody beside her is qualified to make the asessment, it's me.

BUT, once again, if people would follow Norm's rule, everything would be fine:

You never, ever, EVER ask a woman about "the baby" unless you see a head coming out somewhere.

You can't justify stupid.  But I do think her cover up was good...the healthy glow thing!

I'd be just as annoyed, Mary.  Try not to dwell on it.  You know how great you look.  My God, you are positively stunning!
