OMG, You're Pregnant?

By Saratpierce
Because I had some time to kill I thought I'd list of a few FUN reactions I've gotten to people hearing that I'm pregnant. If you're a mommy-to-be or have kids of your own I'd love for you to share some of the more "bizarre" reactions you got when you shared your happy news. This is such a fun time and I love swopping stories with fellow baby-bumpers!
Along with the normal "Congratulations" comments, these were some of the more creative and memorable!
  • "OMG, NO WAY!"
  • "No kidding!"
  • My brother hung up on me when I called to tell him. He hung up on me and called my parents on their house phone to get confirmation that it was actually true. Silly blubber. 
  • "Um, were you trying to get pregnant?"

  • Many people looked straight at my stomach as if they thought they may have overlooked a new bump.
  • "SHUT UP!"
  • "WOW" followed by a tackle of a hug. This one was compliments of our friend Dave. :)
  • "NO YOU'RE NOT!"
  • Lots of, "Aw, you're going to make such a great mommy" and "Motherhood is the best, you're going to love it!"
  • "SHIT!" - that would be my mother's reaction. Followed by tears of joy and a huge hug! Don't worry, it was a good 'shit'.  We ended up calling little manatee the little Shitzel just for kicks thanks to her memorable reaction!
  • "I'm going to kill you if you're telling me this via email" - my friend Layna. When I told her while I was at work after trying to call her like 4 times the night before and she was a loser and in bed already!

  • "OMG, you're pregnant?" - most of the people who are finding out now rather than when we announced it a few weeks ago!
  • "You're going to be such a cute pregnant girl" - let's hope so!
  • "AHHHH! I'm freaking out" - Our friend Vinnie who proceeded to tag two other Lost Colony friends in his Facebook post to make sure that they were freaking out too!
  • "YAY! Welcome to the mommy club" - my sweet sweet friend Lindsie. 
  • "That's basically going to be the most talented baby in the world" - many of our theater/ dance friends
  • "Was this an oops baby?" - seriously... who asks that?

  • "Congrats, I must see belly pictures immediately" - basically all of my girlfriends!
  • "Congrats, you should name it Shaun" - Shaun, another Lost Colony friend
  • "Prepare yourself for inappropriate belly touching at the beach!" - my cousin Ellen!
  • "I can't believe it!"
  • "But you're so young!"
  • "You're going to be a mom!"
  • "We are ensuring the success of the dance team in 2025." - my friend Jennifer from High School dance team. About 1/2 of my freshman year team has had babies or is having babies! 
  • "And you're still dancing?"
  • "December babies are the best!"

  • "Oh wow, how long have you been married?" - ummm... long enough, thanks
  • "Poor thing, has to share it's birthday with Jesus!"
  • "Congrats Sara, now I get to bug you about belly pictures!" - my friend Sara who I've been CONSTANTLY riding about posting belly pictures through both of her pregnancies!
There were plenty more but those were the most fun!Okay fellow preggos and mommies. I want to know some of the most outrageous and fun reactions you got when friends and loved ones found out you were pregnant! 
Until next time...
