Re: On A Lighter Note - Loretta & ShellFrom: JoCee27 (anonymous@obgyn.net)Thu Apr 27 07:22:26 2006
Hi ladies. I was just reading the posts between the two of you and I know exactly how you both feel. I remember a conversation that I had with my mother after I had my first child. My mother sat in the hospital room and said, "Boy I wish I looked that good after I had my kids. JoCee you look like you were never pregnant. When we first moved into that house in Whitesville--your sister was almost a year old--our neighbor came over to introduce herself and her husband and asked me when I was due. I told her, 'I've already had it; it's right here.'" My mom said she felt so humiliated when that happened to her. A year after I had my daughter I was standing in line at the convenience store in our small redneck town where nobody knows how to mind their own and the girl running the cash register said "Oh my God! Another one?" I said, "Another what?" She said, "You're pregnant again?" I looked at her like she was about the stupidest person I'd ever laid eyes on and said, "Uh...no." She said, "Oh, I was about to say..." I was thinking, "About to say what, dumbass?" I could just see her saying something to me in a crowded store about how I was crazy for having another kid when she had 4 by a man 22 years older than her and she was 6 years younger than me! For about 3 years after I had my daughter when I'd bloat up just before a period or when I was having a flare up with Endo people would ask me if I was pregnant or I'd hear, "You aren't pregnant again are you?" My own family would make comments about how I looked like an old woman with a pooch. I used to think I looked pregnant, too; but I didn't like being called out in the middle of a crowd and asked if I was. It was enough to make me wanna hide under a rock. JoCee
