I feel fine?

I need to rant!!!!

I must say, I know it's a bit ridiculous........ but one of my biggest pet peeves about pregnancy is people asking me constantly "how are you feeling?". I'm pregnant, not dying of some rare, incurable disease, I feel fine. Hell, other than this increasingly large bump I'm rocking, some days I wouldn't even know I was pregnant. So when I get the question at least half a dozen times a day, it gets pretty frustrating.

When I was pregnant with Aidan, Ryan kept telling me I was being ridiculous, that people were genuinely concerned over how I was feeling. I disagreed and told him it's just an annoying thing people are trained to ask a pregnant woman. I'm pretty sure they don't even care what the real answer is! (Ok, well maybe family does....) I even read an article once in a parenting magazine that listed the top 10 things never to ask a pregnant woman....among them: "How are you feeling?".  My point exactly. Also included was "are you having twins?", which I also got a ton. With Aidan my belly was so gigantic people were always asking me that, and one time someone asked me at work and I almost cried I was so upset by it .

So I guess my point is, I know people are asking how I feel, but do they really want the answer for that day? Because depending on the day it might be: "I'm tired, crabby, super emotional, my boobs hurt, nervous, anxious, excited, and overwhelmed." Do you think they could handle the real answer(s)? So when they ask, almost every pregnant woman responds: "I feel fine.", which almost all of the time I do feel fine!!!!!!
