.8)I was at the grocery store the other day and noticed a young couple. They were clearly expecting their first child and I would guess she was about four months along. As I lumbered toward them to negotiate passing them mid-aisle, I noticed the panic stricken look on the young man’s face as he compared my expansive belly to his partner’s little bump. In a relaxin-induced moment of compassion, I tried my best to convey to him with a return glance, “Yes, my friend, this will happen to her too. And it’s going to be all right. In fact, it’s pretty wonderful!â€

The second trimester was more of the same until the most wonderful turning point occurred. My belly’s girth exceeded my breast size, bringing my body’s proportions back into balance. When others asked me how I was doing, I’d tell them about this phenomenon. By the looks on their faces, the topic clearly made them uncomfortable. More than once, I got the “you’ve got to stop talking†look from my sister or mother, a gentle nudge designed to help me save face. Lesson learned: don’t draw more attention to engorged reproductive parts than absolutely necessary. Although, I really think there is something to it. A friend who brightly estimated that I must be six to eight months pregnant during my fourth month, told me that I looked fantastic when I ran into him the other day – “much better than the last time I saw you!†Is that a compliment? Regardless, his comments validated my breasts and belly theory.

Sounds to me like she's a self-appointed pregnancy ambassador, going to all those who aren't pregnant and telling them it's going to be okay. Her holier-than-thou attitude is sickening. She makes assumptions about all these people as if she "knows" what they are thinking even though she doesn't even talk to half of them. It's all about a "look." She thinks her huge pregnancy has given her the right to educate the non-pregnant, and, of course, to call attention to herself.
I'm not the least bit interested in pregnant women, other than to feel sorry for them. My first thought is always, "well, your life is over now."

For all she knows, this couple could be giving their brat up for adoption, and dread seeing any reminders of what's to come. They could have also had a miscarriage and are waiting to "deliver," she could also be overweight, have a tumor, cyst, etc....How presumptuous and rude of her! I hope someone finally sets her straight.

I become a bit bloated if I consume too much salt, and my belly 'puffs out'. How rude of her to approach a female who could of had some 'bloat' and assume she was pregnant. What a broad.

I agree! It is ALWAYS a bad idea to assume and make commentary that a stranger is pregnant.When in doubt, leave it out! I don't like ANY stranger making assumptions about me for ANY reason. I find it offensive. I even hate it when clerks make commentary about my purchases. "Looks like YOU are going to be having some company tonight!", or "Just how many cats do you have?"or, "Oh, that time of the month is always a bitch!", or one time when I bought an EPT, "Should we be planning a shower?" comment from an especially nosy little cashier at Walgreens. I can't buy cards and gift certificates, which I do often to send to my niece and nephew, without her saying, "You sure do have a lot of birthdays in your famblee"!

The worst I got was when I bought a box of pads for my wife. The cashier looked at them, then me and said "Your wife sure is lucky to have a husband who buys those for her". For God's sake woman! That's the reason men don't like to buy that kind of thing!
