Today I had my first experience of someone rudely asking me if I was pregnant. I thought this was more a faux pas nowadays, but no, people apparently still do it.

The answer was yes, and may as well say it here too. I'm due in November and can eat again without throwing up so I guess it's obvious I've been going to town on, well, everything I can stuff into my mouth.

	Please tell me you made the situation unbearably awkward for them. Did they see you inhale something within .5 seconds? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	I guess it was my minuscule bump, more noticeable with what I was wearing? Or the inhaling of quesadillas. That's one craving I can't shake. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Aw, cute. I'll try not to invasively grope it the next time I see you. Don't be ashamed. Growing people involves extra caloric intake. I'm reading baby books for you, and I'm thoroughly disgusted by the process but not enough to never see you again. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You're free to grope - strangers, though, they'd get smacked. That's so sweet. Even I admit it's disgusting, like, I'm sure you don't want to hear about my leaky bladder. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Leaky bladder, leaky breasts. I'll have to invest in adult diapers for you for the first one. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Another little one to make a bearded face warmer for? What a blessing. Congratulations, love, on the upcoming addition. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	cigam 2017-05-12 09:49 pm UTC (link)
	Thank you, and of course she would love a bearded face warmer. Not certain it's a girl, but I'm going with 'she' anyway. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	maleficar 2017-05-12 09:54 pm UTC (link)
	She, he. It'll look lovely either way. I've done it for two tiny ladies and they're quite fashionable. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cigam 2017-05-12 10:02 pm UTC (link)
	You're old hat at making face warmers for the ladies, aren't you. It's much appreciated though, because neither John or I are great at knitting and/or crocheting. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I'm a man of many, many domestic talents. I crochet many cute things for dearest Amelia so I will extend my talents to all the babies my friends make. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	They're one more rude comment away. Fucking wanks. And I don't know why you bothered with this--given you already told everyone practically. Ms lets wait the first few weeks. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cigam 2017-05-13 08:05 pm UTC (link)
	I told two people. Two. That's one more than you told. And I don't know where you've been, but the first few weeks and then some have passed. I'm in the second trimester now. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	incendium 2017-05-13 09:44 pm UTC (link)
	I was forced against my will. That's another story entirely. And you also told Joan which is 3, darling. Yes yes, the first twelve weeks are done and now you've got till the 27th week before you hit the third. I've been reading the baby books. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	That's weird, why do people do that? And congrats!! (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Apparently there's something about pregnancy that makes some people nuts, I'm not sure what. You'd think they'd be used to it since it's been going on awhile. Thank you! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	That's just odd. I mean, it's a glorious thing, but, seriously. You're welcome! This is cool! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cigam 2017-05-13 04:15 pm UTC (link)
	I agree. Hopefully I won't encounter too many invasive people. My partner seems determined to ward them off by marking my soon-to-be baby bump. I will teach the child to appreciate the allure of stage show magic as well. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Have you considered a "Somebody Else's Business field? I know the spell exists in my world, but my magic is too unstable right now for me to cast it. I will help, and come and cheer at all your shows! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Wait until people start trying to touch your belly, and you have to stop yourself from whacking them. But congratulations! November will be here before you even know it. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	cigam 2017-05-13 12:24 pm UTC (link)
	I'm pretty sure I'd whack them. Blame it on muscle spasms, maybe. Thank you, my friend. Yes, time goes quickly, doesn't it? If you have any pregnant lady advice too, I am all ears. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	savioring 2017-05-13 12:43 pm UTC (link)
	Hormones are a great excuse later too. Half of the time it's the truth. It'll be the best time though, so just enjoy it. Embrace it all, the mood swings and the grumbles. Oh body pillow when you start showing because sleep is not easy with a watermelon tummy. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cigam 2017-05-13 12:49 pm UTC (link)
	Now that I definitely believe. I already feel like a different person entirely. I'm a side sleeper, so that will be fun. I'm sure waking up to pee every five minutes and the kicking of internal organs and ribs must be fun while trying to sleep too. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Hopefully they're good hormonal imbalances, but you know, whatever happens, you're pregnant. That's the excuse for it all.

My son thought my bladder was his very own beanbag chair, so yeah, it gets interesting. The cravings are odd at times, but it's best to just go with it. I couldn't stand the smell of fish from the end of the first trimester until at least a month after Niko was born.
