The nerve of some people

I’m 29 weeks pregnant and I’ve been showing signs of preterm labor since 24. My doctor has me on pelvic rest, light activity, and progesterone suppositories (which all seems to be helping 🙌). I’m trying to still work, because I can’t really afford to be home on bed rest. So she said as long as I’m off my feet for the most part, I can continue to work. I manage a coffee shop/cafe, so I’ve literally just been sitting on a chair at the cash register, and my assistant manager has taken over my duties.

Today a man came up and ordered a large coffee, and I started to pour it (it’s within arms reach). He says “don’t get up” all snarky like I’m just being lazy or something. I replied “I won’t, doctors orders” with a forced smile.

That just really rubbed me the wrong way. He has no clue that I’m just trying to keep this baby in for as long as possible 😩😡

Me sitting on my chair, I’m very clearly pregnant.
