Silly questions I’ve been asked during this pregnancy and replies I should have given:
- Were you smaller the first time? Yes, I was a midget
- Was the baby planned? No, I’m 35 and still not sure how things actually work
- Is your husband happy? No, he left me
- I bet your husband he’s chuffed he’s finally having a boy! No, he actually wanted another girl
- Is it legal for you to be still working? No, but I love dragging my bump to the office and get uncomfortable at my desk
- So now you finally get rid of the cats? No, I might get rid of you
- I bet you cannot wait to give birth! Yes I can wait as I actually enjoy being pregnant and wish I could be pregnant for a longer period
- Your bump is huge! Yours too, and your are not even pregnant
- Are you sure your are not having twins? Again this question?
- You are towards the end right? Ehm I’m only 20 weeks pregnant…
- Is it the same dad as your first one? Well yeah I could not find a different one
- Can I touch your bump, they say it brings good luck! It can only bring a kick in your teeth in my case
- I bet it’s a girl! I can tell from the shape of your bump! Ehm I’m actually having a boy
- Dont worry, second time it’s easier. (Statement from a man or from a woman who never had babies)
- How will you cope then with two babies? I will just sell one
- Have you gained lots of weight yet? No, this huge bump is very light
Lucky for all these individuals I’ve been raised to be polite at all times and usually I replied with a smile or making this face:
