It's amazing how so many douche bags are surviving n haven't been murdered for their insensitivity. A few are in my hate list at the moment and mind you it's not coz am pregnant and overly emotional, I'd hate them even if I was normal.
1. The person who calls a pregnant woman fat.
The woman's pregnant, she's already dealing with lots (not being able to bend and pick that Hershey's bar at the grocery store being one). The least you could do is not call her fat on her face. But will douche bag understand that?...
Like the time I was waiting for the elevator and a guy from the building got down ... Lift doors open.... And his first reaction was YOU GOT FAT ... I smiled politely... He repeated.... I told him I heard you.... He still said "oh man I couldn't recognize you only". By now he had instigated the inner wild animal (call me cheetah) I replied: mind your own business u a%^|~|%£€!!
2. The person who comments on a pregnant woman's appetite
So it's not like life's left me with lots of choices about how I spend my time at the moment, it's mostly sleep and eat!! And hell yeah I will do that to the best of my ability. And besides i suffer more than enough, with all those resulting heart burns and sleepless nights later, than you having to rub it in my face by re-re reminding me that I ate too much.
So I was invited to this wedding in my community, and tho I cud not walk I went ... I went for the biryani and when it was served, by god!! I ate... I ate like there's no tomorrow.
Now the aunty next to me kept saying to who ever that came near us "look how much she's eating".... "Shes supposed to eat for 2 but she's eating for 5 I think" (cheetah was still asleep). Then when my mom came, she said something similar to her "we made sure she's fed now u make sure she is able to walk". At this point my mom concluded that the aunty had an evil eye on me (of course)... And we must hate her for life and That we shall.
3. The critic on pregnant woman's appearance.
As am chosen for the task of making a baby, the last thing on my mind is to look good...also given my condition of clown like swollen feet and large body that feels like am pulling a plough every time I try to walk... Leaves me with no real options.
So the people who get the golden chance of seeing me during my blissfully lovely pregnancy, need not comment on my state. Especially when I had to wear obnoxiously ugly flip flops for a wedding reception. (this time I went for the cake)
4. People who diagnose mood swings as life threatening catastrophe.
I have my good days, where I am happy and watch cartoons and make ugly looking stuffed toys for the coming baby. Then the very next day I feel like my life's getting over and hell!!!! what am I doing??? I should be at work and not flipping channels. And just like that the water works start for hours. All I ask for is some compassion at that time and not a verdict on how I've turned into a loon...
You douche!!! stop going around and telling ppl to not meet me coz am sucha train wreck. Am just pregnant not a cannibal.
I am almost at the end of my term and am thankful it went by fast with all the initial excitement till the concluding anxieties.
And I hope karma will get back at these douche bags in some way (hopefully, by making them fall in an open manhole on their best dressed day).
