It’s time to design that very patch. Do you know any designers? We moms at least deserve an honorary t-shirt.

If they make badges like that I need one. I’ll wear it with my “You don’t scare me, I have a 3 year old” badge. I miss the way people are nice when you’re pregnant.

Hehehe! I’m cracking up over this post because I’m preggo! I wrote a post about “Pregnancy and Stranger Comments” on friday. People keep mistaking my pregnancy for fatness, twins, you name it. It’s crazy! But people do seems to be nicer to pregnant women for some reason.

I know what you mean! They also aren’t as nice when it’s your second or more baby. I have had people be helpful though when they see me struggling with two babies (4 months and 20 months)

What I found odd was people touching my belly though. They’d never try it without a baby inside but something about it protruding means that it’s suddenly public property I guess

Amen, but don’t let it stop there. I think ALL mothers of kids need a badge to wear.

I can very much relate, although I must add that whenever I carried the newborn around –in my arms or in his little sling– about 90% of the warm and compassionate looks came back. Babywearing: do it for the attention-whoring

How about “New Mother – Cross At Your Own Risk!”

Ha, Ha! I’m with you! I think more compassion is warranted after pregnancy than before : )
