Warning rant inc.
I have to vent here. As most know I'm 32 weeks pregnant. This weekend I got this comment for the second time in my pregnancy. Someone told me "I wish I was pregnant so that I could lounge around all day." I had this a few months ago, i'm military and i don't have to stand for formation, a male said "I wish I could be pregnant so I could sit around all day". I don't know. Is it just me or is this completely infuriating? I don't ask for special treatment. I work about 45-50 hours, i'm at work on time and participate in all the same activities. I don't complain...too much lol. The only special treatment I get is that I don't have to stand in formations that last more than 15 minutes. My husband recently enlisted and since January hes' been gone and now he's on the other side of the country until September. So on top of working full time, I'm at home alone taking care of all my household chores, baby preparations and pets. I'm also taking online classes to finish my degree. But I must agree, its' nice to be pregnant and lounge around.
/rant off
Thanks for reading!

You're so lucky!
Heartburn, cravings, back pain, clothes that don't fit, peeing all the time, prenatal diabetes ... SOOO lucky!
I wish I was pregnant, but no, it's just a big fat belly from eating all the time.

The people that are saying that have never been pregnant and have no idea wtf you are going through. Tell em to stfu IMO 
Seriously, you have my respect for going through what you are, and if they don't get it thats fine, let them be ignorant.

A DJ on our local radio station lost a bet with his pregnant wife. As the loser of the bet he had to wear an empathy belly for a week, which was up today. He was miserable and apologized for every time he said pregnancy was easy.
The morning shows have been great the past few days.

There will always be people that think women belong home, barefoot, and pregnant.

Don't let it get to ya. Ignorance is abound, especially when it comes to things involving women and pregnancy. :\ Just take good care of yourself, hon.

If you hear that again, please respond with, ' es, I wish you were pregnant too. That way you could feel the joys of labor and childbirth too!'

He's military? Tell him to eff off. Don't let it get to you. Men, especially those that are not already fathers, have no idea how awful pregnancy and childbirth are.
