Comments I have got from strangers on looking at my tummy:
1) In water park: This lady watched me jumping around happily in water and said "please slow down and be careful. we don't want you to deliver here" (I was little more than 30 weeks then)
2) In Costco (just crossed the 36 weeks deadline): After nearly 3 hours of grocery shopping I was completely worn out and was dragging myself to a bench while my husband billed the purchases. A voice suddenly spoke from my left side "So when are you due". I turned to see one of the costco employee smiling at me. "Oct 3rd" I replied. Her eyes flicked to my tummy and she said "doesn't look like it", I gave a confused look. She replies "It will be September." I give her weak smile and hobble over to the bench while praying inside 'please dont do that to me'.
3) Visitors @ home This was around my 22 weeks. My husband's friend's aunt was visiting us. I Was meeting her for the first time and when talking to my mom in law over fone, she says, "your dil looks very big. She might have early delivery". All I could do was gape at her.
4) In Walmart, I was around 30 weeks. Me and hubby as usual had gotten carried away and purchased a number of dresses for the little one. We were standing at the billing counter and Lady at the counter was billing last dress when she suddenly noticed my tummy and said "oh you are expecting. I thought you were getting it as gift for someone." Me and hubby looked at each other and then down at my tummy. Really!! you missed 'this'!!!!
Stories shared with us:
In best buy: I was around 24 weeks. We were looking for Chrome cast. When this lady (once of the geek squad) looked at me and was super excited "when are you due?am 20 weeks. What do you do to keep yourself cool in summer? Do you feel hungry often? " all in one go. I smiled and said due in oct. Drink lot of fluid. Yes I do feel hungry. I snack a lot. She smiled, "me too. "
