I get comments like that a lot, too. I hear "At least you won't get fat." and "You will miss the hardest times...when the baby won't sleep through the night." I even had one person try to compare our visit trip to an ULTRASOUND!!!!!!

I want to say, actually, I am putting on weight and losing sleep because this process is long and stressful...

...But, I know that nobody means to be insensitive. I wish people would think about what they are saying. I have had these kinds of comments from close friends and family and people that I don't know very well. Some days I am able to let comments roll off my back, but other days it is harder to hear them.

I agree that taking the time to educate people is the best medicine. I also go by the saying "If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all." Sometimes this saying helps me through.
