Things You Should NOT Say To A Pregnant Person

And yes, these have all been said to me...

You're how far along? WHOA! You're big.
(What do you say to this)

Are you sure you're not having twins?
(No, I'm not sure. I won't be sure until only one comes out)

I never had morning sickness.
(good for you, I'm almost 20 weeks and still sick)

You look extra pregnant today.
(thanks?)

Sure, it's just a few, but they sure overshadow all the "you look so cute" comments

Well, considering the people that news reporters come in contact with out on the streets, this isn't really surprising. Tornado season is the worst.

I never understood why people (especially women who have had a baby) have to say things like that! Those first three I had said to me too. Towards the end people will say whether you are carrying high or low or tell you that you are huge...or tell you you are going to pop anyday or want to touch you constantly.
Just know that no matter how rude people can get you are going to have a sweet little baby and you look beautiful!

Yes! Amen! My boss told me every day how big I was getting and it REALLY bothered me! He has a wife, they have kids, how can he think this was acceptable or even a friendly comment!?:)
You look fine, Chellie. I am so sorry you are still sick:(.

I guess I never cared when people said that!? I mean, you are preggo! Of course you are big! When you get huge and are about to pop - you naturally look it!! I always just said yep! or Hopefully anyday! But Chellie, you really do look cute preggo! I looked like a sickly Somalian with a really swollen tummy. Nothing cute about me back then!

When I had almost 2 months left a very large older woman (not pregnant, btw!) asked me when I was due. When I told her the date she said, "Whoa, are you sure. You look like it should be a lot sooner!"
Um, excuse me, but when is YOUR baby due? You're not pregnant? Oh, my bad.

I'm assuming you meant your title to say "Things you SHOULD NOT say to a pregnant woman!" Anyway, yeah...don't worry about the comments. I think everyone hears comments they don't want to hear. I think you look great and NOT big at all for the point you are at! Did you call the Dr. offices today?

I assume that you already know how I feel about these kinds of questions. I actually went to Wal-Mart today looking like the Goodyear Blimp and didn't hear one comment! That's what avoiding all eye contact with do!
