stupid coworkers
I was about to go throw up at work and a coworker stops me in the hallway to ask how the morning sickness is. I tell her that it's bad. The following conversation happens:
her: You should try vitamin B6, 25mg a day.
me: I have, I threw it up.
her: Take it at night.
me: I have, I threw it up then, too.
her: Well, you need to take it for a few days in a row, and then it will work.
*I stare at her blankly*
her: When I did it during my pregnancy, it worked like a charm.
*she smiles and walks away*

The one thing that freaks me out are the people that just come up and touch the pregnant woman's tummy *without permission* and start asking impertinent questions. Heck, I've had relatives come up and touch *my* tummy without permission and ask if I've got anything in there (read: pregnant yet). ::shudder::
I came up with the perfect rejoinder for such nastiness, though - if I'm asked if I have anything "in there", I go, "Sure I do! All my internal organs are in there, the last time I checked. And lots of fat." ::grin:: I lost PR points by the dozen on that one, but there are no more impertinent questions.
Congratulations and jubilations on the coming birth!
When people reach out and rub my stomach now, I just reach out and rub their stomach in return. Some people get the hint that, even though I am pregnant, rubbing my belly is an invasion of personal space. Some people just look at me oddly when I do that.
