what's some of the weird or unwanted advice/comments that you have gotten during your pregnancy. Here's some things people have told me:
"I was sick my whole pregnancy" - is that suppose to make me feel better?! many people have said that to me. "When strangers come up to you and rub your belly you should say this..." - i think i can handle that myself and i don't want to be mean about it. i know people are trying to be helpful but sometimes i wish they just wouldn't say anything or at least wait for ME to ASK for advice! so what are some things people have said or advised to you?

My husband and I have been married for 6 years, dated for 2 years before that. We have goals before we wanted to start a family and did those things before we were ready. So when we got pregnant with our first and we told my grandma she said.... "I was afraid that would happen" and nothing more after that.
MADE ME MAD!!! It implied to me that she didn't think we should have children and we were bad people which is not the case. Knowing her she wasn't trying to be ugly but it sure came out that way. I Love her to death but we are not that close. Don;t know why. she just never seemed to care. Oh well. AT least this time she said I thought you were at the birthday party. So that was better I guess. But when the first was born she did come to the hosptial and was excited that she could actually hold her.
