3. "She needs a hat"
4. "Who is the father?"
5. "I lost all my pregnancy weight 2 hours after delivery and my boobs stayed huge. So weird"
6. "Make sure that you get some rest"
7. "You should be breastfeeding'
8. "You will never sleep again"

  1. LOVE IT! I want to smack people when they tell me how their babies sleep through the night. Especially when they say, "Just put him on his stomach." Right. Then I won't sleep through the night...

  2. I think 99% of moms lie about "sleeping all night", the other 1% are celebrities with baby nurses.:)

  3. I had a friend ask me who the father is when I told her I was pregnant, and just grinned and said my husband.

  4. lol...I actually had someone say #10 once, it's like hello! What do you want from me...lol. I am beginning to blog about motherhood, but in kind of a complaining humorously kind of a way...feel free to pop by: http://motherhoodthegoodthebadtheugly.blogspot.com/

    I never even thought to post it on the i-am-pregnant website..I will have to do that some time.

  5. Other gems include...."when will your baby bump go?"......"I don't mean to offend you, but women who have elective c-sections/epidurals shouldn't have children"......."I can see your tummy is still sticking out even though he's almost 3 months...is that normal?"........"now if you give your baby a bath, followed by a nice massage, then he'll go to sleep at 7pm rather than 5am"...."you're so lucky your partner stuck around" - my partner and I had only been together a few months before falling pregnant. Funnily enough no-one ever tells him he's so lucky I stuck around!!
