“My aunt was told by her FIL that if she had a girl, they’d get nothing. If they had a boy, he’d pay them $5000 (so the family name could be carried on). Thank God she had a girl. The man is horrible and would have corrupted that child. This same man asked a travel agent if she was ovulating when he talked to her since she seemed nice and wanted my former uncle to impregnate her so he could get his grandson (my aunt had divorced her husband by that point).” — madhattergirl

“My parents were in their mid-40’s and had three grown children by the time they were blessed with my presence in the womb, so they got a lot of the usual dumb questions like if I was an accident or if I was an IVF baby (which I was neither). However, my mom told me that when she was in the hospital to get prepped for her c-section, the nurse asked her if I was the source of a second marriage. When she told her that she’s been married to my dad for 20+ years, the nurse basically said, ‘You’re either crazy to waste another 18 years of your life or this baby was an accident.’ To which my mom replied that after three miscarriages in the past 10 or so years that I was indeed planned and that the nurse can go f*** herself.” — sarahlinndsay

“‘Do you know what you’re having? Cause if you remember what position you were in when you conceived, it’ll determine the gender.’ Thanks random lady in the grocery store. No, its okay, you didn’t have to say hi or introduce yourself. I’m just public property right? Everyone instantly knows me because I’m cooking something up in my uterus? That’s cool. And by the way, kind of awkward asking about my sexual experience!” — Monsterification

“I had a random (older male) customer at work ask me if I was doing my kegels. Wtf makes you think my vagina is an acceptable conversation topic? People have no boundaries with pregnant women.” — snickiefritz

“‘You’re having a girl, aren’t you? I can always tell. Girls steal your beauty.’ – Relative who was subsequently disowned.” — CarmelaMachiato
