Tezzy, that is great advice you have given. Thank you for sharing your ideas, hopefully I can incorporate them when someone is being nasty. Truthfully. I want to be honest with people on how they make me feel, but then I think that my pregnancy, feelings and how I look are none of their business. I easily get offended and avoid confrontation at all cost (even if there really isn't any argument). One day at lunch I was being quiet and minding my own business and this girl I work with just keep pestering me and I kept telling her over and over again that nothing was wrong with me I just wanted to be quiet and left alone. After that she still kept pestering me saying that I was being hormonal or some crap like that. So now because of that and some other things that have gone on at work, I avoid the lunch room now because I simply don't want to deal with anyone (me avoiding the situation, like I always do).

There are days where it pays to be completely honest with people, but I have days where I can't deal with people any longer and feel as if I'm going to explode and go on a rampage. I guess that is my red headed temper coming out. What a great post, thank you again.

I quite liked people touching my pregnant belly, but everyone is different I suppose. The comments I see more as them trying to make conversation if they don't know you so well, or just trying to be nice/have a bit of a joke with you.

Nice advice though.

Next time somebody says that tell them that you should have the right to touch their belly and start rubbing it and they shouldn't be oversensitive about it!
