I got the cutest text message today from one of my best friends (who also happens to be pregnant) asking when people stop asking how you are feeling.
That made me laugh - because my honest answer was...they don't...and it will actually get to a point where they will ask you how you are feeling and as soon as you answer, they will walk away.
How are you feeling is a super nice question that people ask because they are genuinely interested and want to know how you are feeling - but after a while, it gets hard to not be brutally honest with everyone that asks.
However, from what I have learned - the honest truth is not what people want to hear.
I have also read in a few of my books that about this time, you start to get a little apathetic towards your "current situation" - like can we please talk about something other than my pregnancy. Its even worse because my job/career requires me to network and build relationships with a lot of people...which means a lot of superficial conversations (and some real ones) that tend to revolve around my pregnancy.
either way - I appreciate that people are interested and concerned - but just wish we could talk about something else every once in a while.
