I don't know if its just me but I guess most pregnant women can be extremely sensitive. Or maybe some people are just really insensitive or innocent.
Here are some things I hate hearing from people:
"Your tummy is so big but you're payat!" Every woman and pregnancy is different. Of course my tummy is big, I'm carrying three. I should worry if it's small and not all expectant moms should gain gazilion pounds. It can get a little annoying to hear people say I'm payat or should I be flattered? As per Dr. A. the baby should be the one growing big and NOT the mommy. I believe him. Being big doesn't mean the baby is in good health. Every pregnant woman I know is only concerned about one thing --- delivering a healthy baby. When people around me say I'm payat, I feel like they assume I'm not eating. I eat well A LOT! And my babies are fine.
"Triplets? Hindi ba delikado yan?" Grrr. Can they just shut up if they don't have anything good to say? Or maybe they're just too naive to understand things? I know some of them are sincere and mean well. Some just don't know what to say. I can't help it, but this line makes me freak out.
"Eat well, you are eating for 4 now." I eat well but I don't believe in eating for 4. Should I force myself to eat even if I'm full already? Note: I'm eating like 4-5 times a day instead of 3 full meals. I get hungry most of the time.
"Wow triplets, swerte yan! (while rubbing my tummy)" Phuleeeeez, I'm not a po-on! You don't need to rub my tummy, hope to be lucky and prayers to be answered. That's insane! Few people are only allowed to touch my belly --- my husband, my family, close friends and my doctor.
Hormones or whatever, bear with me. This too shall pass.
