I really hate it when people say "Are you excited"? Like what kind of answer do they expect? I'm a pretty private person and lately I just feel like I'm on display. Yesterday, walking through the mall and seeing countless people looking at my belly had me in tears. I feel violated.
@yahuahsdaughter, I'm happy for you that you are comfortable with it. I don't think anyone means anything negative by it. It just makes me uncomfortable. I wasn't like this with all my pregnancies. I'm not sure why the stares bother me now.
"No I'm not excited to be having a baby!! It's not like it'll be the best thing ever!!" Duh I'm excited what the hell is wrong with people!!
birth and pregnancy are amazing miracles . pregnant women look cute and just knowing they have a life in them makes people feel more sentimental and remember they are living the miracle of life itself, that is why people stare, dont take it the bad way.
i understand though sometimes you dont want people staring at you and just want to be left alone, i have those days. i just ignore them and use my cellphone if i am in the subway or just act like they are not even there.
