When you announce your first pregnancy, friends, coworkers, and family members all but pop a bottle of champagne and sit you down and start rubbing your feet. The joy! The excitement! So, naturally, when you tell people you're pregnant again, you're going to get that same jubilant reaction, right? Wrong. Maybe it's because you've been there, done that, but second (and third, and fourth) pregnancies don't seem to get quite the glee-filled responses first pregnancies get. Take it from moms who've experienced this first-hand.
Here are 25 obnoxious comments women have actually heard after telling people they're pregnant again.
Congratulations?
1. "When announcing my fourth pregnancy, my friend said, 'You do know what causes that, right?'"
2. "My sister-in-law asked me how I was feeling during my third pregnancy. I told her I was pretty tired. She said, 'And you're having another one?!'"
3. "You are done after this ... aren't you?"
4. "Again?!"
5. "Don't you feel bad that you're not going to pay as much attention to your daughter now?"
6. "One is easy ... just wait until you have two."
7. "With all the forms of birth control out there, there is no reason why someone should be pregnant if they don't wanna be." Well duh lady ... we wanted to be!
8. "Seriously?"
9. "But you have one of each. Why would you want to mess that up?"
10. "Please tell me it was a mistake."
11. "Are you sure? I mean you just had a baby."
12. "Wait, didn't you have fertility treatment last time?"
13. "God must have a sense of humor if he let your husband reproduce again."
14. "Now you will have to have a fourth baby so everyone can have someone to ride roller coasters with."
15. "It's hard enough finding someone to watch two kids, good luck finding someone to watch three."
16. “Don't you know what rubbers are?”
17. "So who is getting fixed after this one, you or your husband?"
18. "You shouldn't have married a Mormon, because he is always going to keep you barefoot and pregnant.”
19. “My mother told my sister, ‘She’s just trying to get a reaction out of me.’”
20. “With my last pregnancy, my boss told me I needed to have an abortion and get my tubes tied.”
21. "But you already have so many!”
22. “This one better be a boy.”
23. “Kids are expensive, you should have thought about that.“
24. "Again? Y'all need to put a sock in it.”
25. "But you're not married!”
Yikes! What's a rude pregnancy comment you've heard?
Being a parent is the best job in the world. The sourpusses don’t know what they are missing. I’m happy for you that your children give you joy and bring honor to you.
My thought exactly!
#25 is actually a good point
I have used this one before:
6. “One is easy ... just wait until you have two.”
But I was speaking from experience.
My husband told me he wanted five kids .... my body said two, and preemies at that.
...... Worst ones
1. Please don’t tell my wife/your husband!!!
2. Are you sure I’m the father?
3. Don’t look at me. I’m fixed!!
4. Are you sure you’re the mother?
5. Now you don’t have to worry about me getting you pregnant!
That’s the war on women, children and family for ya!
It great to have productive citizens having big families..it may offset the welfare class that seems to have too many. Plus we have extra kids slipping across our borders in record numbers.
13.) You have a vajay like a wizards sleeve already
14.) how much did you gain last time?
Oh Dear Lord. Is Laz the daddy?
number 25 is fine. Nothing at all wrong with it.
“Oh no!. now you’ll NEVER have ANYTHING”. This from close kin btw.
...Um, we’ll have that 3rd baby! That’s certainly something.
And she surely is.
Heard repeatedly during and after my fourth pregnancy with three daughters:
“Still trying for a boy?”
“What are you going to do if this is another girl?”
“You do know you don’t stand a snowball’s chance in hell of getting a boy this time?”
And after the birth of the fourth daughter:
“Are you done this time?”
“Are you going to give up now?”
For the record, the fourth pregnancy wasn’t planned. However, looking back, I would practice “quiver full” family planning and allow God to choose. I’m pretty sure He did anyway.
To the ‘don’t you know what causes that’ we always like to reply: “yes, we do. Do we need to send you a book to explain that to you too?”
It’s not mine.
To “Do you know what causes that?” I always said that I hadn’t a clue-—could they please enlighten me.

Who's going to pay for it!?!?!
Miley! ... Your uterus isn’t a clown car!
Love your attitude. We feel the same way about our three precious girls who’ve grown into young ladies and given us three previous grandchildren . . . so far.
