Kate is absolutely adorable!
I fell in love with her on scrubs and fell
in love with her youtube videos shortly
after. Check out "present face" and "dear
deer" as well.

@12: Why? Dickish behavior does not actually come from the influx of baby hormones. It comes from the psyches of women who honestly believe that procreating somehow makes them more interesting.
It's like saying "You wouldn't be against the war if you had been a soldier." We KNOW that's BS, because we SEE former soldiers speaking out against the war.

Pregnant women SHOULD be smug. They're doing something really hard, and really important, unlike insecure Seattle hipsters who exist to tear others down.

Hillarious! I love them! Their site is well worth a visit.
And Shannon - pregnancy is neither hard nor important. It CAN be both annoying and painful, but we've been doing it for thousands of years.
The good news is it gets easier with each child, and much less embarrassing. After a while, you don't even notice when you're leaking out of one orifice or another.
I never meant to have as many kids as I do, but here I am. My tubes are now tied, but I won't relax until menopause is over ;-)

We- moms and dads- say "don't care, just as long as it's healthy" because we DON'T GIVE A FUCK ABOUT THE GENDER, and you're asking is every bit as trite as our answer.
We really, truly, deeply don't care if we have a boy or a girl*, and are genuinely worried about having a healthy baby. Because, you know, despite medical advances, many moms lose their babies in utero or immediately after birth.
* exception: families with three or more kids of only one gender.

So... what other completely natural processes that a CAT can do would you like to receive a medal for?

Fuck you bitches! I’m goddman pregnant right now. I wish stupid fuckers would STOP asking me fucking questions about it, I’m sick to death of feeling like I have to be polite to every stupid person who asks me tons of questions.
The goddamn answers are:
1. I don’t know the sex
2. End of May
3. I feel like shit
Pregnant women aren’t smug, they’re grumpy and want to take a nap.

I'm nearly 8 months pregnant and found this hysterical. The rest of you need to calm the fuck down and realize its satire.
Or did you lose your sense of humour when you spread your legs and got knocked up?

@15 you are so CUTE when you're making gross assumptions about your audience!
@17 Yes, the question is cliched, but the answer is not related to the question. Why not just say "We don't care" and leave it at that? Why bring in something (again, as part of a cliche) that doesn't even have anything to do with what was just asked?
@20: I'm sorry you're having such a hard time. Not every pregnancy sucks, and not every expectant mother is a grump. Maybe the next one will be easier.
And hearts for @16 and @21.

Thanks 16 and 21 for proving that pregnant women are not always humorless in addition to smug. I find most pregnant women insufferable. It's just a biological act people. Get over it.
26
This was funny, but I don't generally find pregnant women to be smug (complain-y, maybe, but justifiably so)... But, maybe that's because my friends who have been/are pregnant don't buy into the bullshit that they are doing something "important".
32
Nasty women who keep it in like to wait for their special moment to be mean. Not all pregnant women are smug. Just most of them. Which means, most women are inwardly smug and ready to strike you do. I'd also like to add, that many people are sensitive and insensitive at the same time. Totally selfish! And women revel in the attention that comes with being pregnant. I can't blame them, for that. Pregnancy isn't literally a beautiful thing. Really, it's quite ugly. Well, physically, emotionally, and financially, it's pretty ugly. But there are some women who get pregnant, just for the attention. And they're horrible people!
33
Oh god, the last bit "Oh, MAKIN TEH BABYEZS IS MY ONE IMPORTANT THING!" I been around so many women who had that attitude, who cares if you earned your Ph.D, she's pregnant! That's obviously much more important, who cares you made a prototype aids cure, just go get knocked up, that's far better!
Please, don't be so damn pathetic, having a fucking life as well!

@34: Uh, it's not fake. If you had gone to the site, you would have seen that she plays piano in their stand up act as well.
36
Uh, it is. She may play at some point, and simply be doing the piano equivalent of lip-synching, but she moves her hands up and down too much. Plus, her hands don't quite synch if you pay attention.
37
The real problem is, when any uneducated moron couple can pop out a half-dozen piglets it greatly diminishes the importance and wonder of child bearing.
39
Those who posted negative comments about this skit: RELAX!!! Can't you tell it's a joke
or are you offended by the video so much because the truth hurts? I personally have a few friends that, once impregnated, act like they created the cure for cancer. "Oh, I'm not into that stuff anymore since I became pregnant. I have more important things to think about" Yeah, like yourself! Why is this not a problem with expectant fathers?

I just want to say if you don't want to hear the predictable "as long as it's healthy" answer, stop asking that stupid fucking question. It's asinine and impossible to answer. That used to drive me crazy when my wife was pregnant, and I think I used to cough up some idiocy about ten fingers and toes, then think I was being an idiot, then curse the person asking the question for making me feel that way.
