That would probably not have been a pleasant surprise.<BR/><BR/>I'm hoping to encourage visitation by people when I'm feeling up to it in the hospital. I'm sure the first stage of labour can be pretty mind-numbing without various people to talk to. However, I definitely don't need anyone in there but Hubby for the more personal exams and such. I'll have to keep an eye on all four of our parents to see who the most promising bouncer will be.<BR/><BR/>Mrs. Micah, you're right about the one track mind of anyone having a life-changing experience. And I know I'm guilty of it too. I'm still amused by how much it weighs on other people's minds though. For example, no one at work seems to be able to have a conversation with me without checking out my stomach at least once. And I'm sure I've done it to other pregnant cowrokers too.<BR/><BR/>And, yeah, Mike, I've noticed that double standard. It somehow never ceases to amaze and annoy me. :)Fecundityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07357725319777178709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-378291834535464792.post-14302121444455047102007-12-30T18:28:00.000-05:002007-12-30T18:28:00.000-05:00These comments are priceless! lol.RacerX - I've h...These comments are priceless! lol.<BR/><BR/>RacerX - I've heard this complaint from other people - usually it's relatives that want to "be there for the whole thing".

Especially C-Section, but even Post Partum. At work I see moms in their next few days and I'd say well over 50% look 9 months along and the rest look about 4-5 months. <BR/><BR/>The first time, I was really surprised but I resisted the urge to say "You got another one in there?" After going into the second and third rooms I thought "Oh, this is normal."<BR/><BR/>Good list, Fecundity. :) Especially the last one. Whenever someone has a life change--pregnant, married, baby, graduation, it can be tempting to talk to them only about that (and it can be tempting for them to only talk about that). But maybe they need a chance to talk about other stuff.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-378291834535464792.post-84195941457197365372007-12-30T13:54:00.000-05:002007-12-30T13:54:00.000-05:00That's a good list of tips.

Mike's comment was quite true in our case, too - it took a couple days for my wife's "pregnantish" looks to go away after the C-section.<BR/><BR/>Do keep in mind, it's not always mean-spirited, though. Sometimes people are just stupid :)BBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06545650541351776619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-378291834535464792.post-5308696631224919092007-12-30T12:30:00.000-05:002007-12-30T12:30:00.000-05:00@fourpillars - Actually, they did all happen while...@fourpillars - Actually, they did all happen while we were visiting for Christmas. To be fair, Hubby's family has a Christas Eve open house, so a lot of the contributions came that night from the multitude of guests. Also, his grandmother is always good for tactless comments and advice. However, most people were just great. The 'dos' all happened too. <BR/><BR/>My personal favourite was the repeated comments on how much I was eating. The comments came from a man who weighs at least 300 pounds, none of it muscle. I think Hubby's hand on my knee was all that stopped me from saying something very rude that I'd later regret.<BR/><BR/>Lovely comment to your wife. Ouch. Hope her response was "That's funny, so do you." Hopefully my family will be more tactful...though I won't be holding my breath. ;)<BR/><BR/>@racerx - Ooh. That does sound fun. I'll definitely keep your advice in mind.Fecundityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07357725319777178709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-378291834535464792.post-55167509147170391792007-12-29T15:21:00.000-05:002007-12-29T15:21:00.000-05:00It is amazing what people say, but it is worse wha...It is amazing what people say, but it is worse what they will do!<BR/><BR/>When in the birthing center, many who dropped by either wouldn't leave or would stayu when uncomfortable/ private testing or measuring was happenning.<BR/><BR/>My tip is to pick out a third person (mom or mother-in-law) to keep people out and to keep other people informed as they also didn't know when to butt-out! either!Noel Larsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04101799343286185259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-378291834535464792.post-15752416476868643322007-12-29T13:40:00.000-05:002007-12-29T13:40:00.000-05:00What a great list!
