But this is getting annoying. Ive had several people make nasty remarks 'behind my back' about me being a teenage mother! One lady overheard my husband and I talking on the bus about the baby coming and she said to her friend (of course loud enough for me to hear) "Another baby having a baby..just what we need!" I snapped back at her.."Im almost 30 years old!! And its none of your buisness!!"

Two days ago in the deli, I was talking to this actually friendly lady..about how far along I was. And there was a lady behind me clearly listening. Because just as I was about to leave I heard her say to the woman I was talking too "If my teenage daughter was knocked up.." I couldnt make out the rest.

Then today in the maternity shop..the counter lady was a total hag to me. I bought a pair of jeans in there and she wouldn't even make eye contact with me..she was like "these are for you?", "oh when are you due?", "your parents must be SO proud?" in this horribly rude tone..then she asked me these questions about my postal code, phone number..and then wrapped up my stuff..and handed it to me. I was about to leave when she says "sorry how old are you anyways?" Im like "29!" and she was like "oh sorry" clearly she assumed otherwise! Why else say sorry?!

I dont get it...do I have a sticker on my forehead that says talk down about me?! I think I need a shirt that says 'Married. Almost 30! Pregnant with our first!"

Rant over. Sorry.

PS I know it's a good thing in the end..looking younger. But I guess it bugs me because I dont want to deal with the glares and crap when the baby comes! And having to defend myself..SUCKS!
