It seems like everyone knows what not to say to a pregnant woman, or at least you hope they would. But Lord knows, daily, I get told stuff that I can handle as an everyday person. But being pregnant and hormones being times 50, I figured that I'd make a list of the the things NO pregnant woman wants to hear. (No matter how big your smile is while saying it.)
1.You look miserable. (geez, thanks for pointing out how I feel. Is it THAT noticable?)
2. The stretch marks aren't bad now, but I can't promise what they will look like after you have the baby. (I don't want to even think about how my body will look after having another child)
3. Your stretch marks look like Texas' map! (Okayy, so are you saying my belly is big enough to actually hold the Texas map, or are you making a joke?)
4. Better you than me. (No honestly, it would be better you than me. I actually know what not to say to a pregnant woman!)
5. I'm so tired. (Dumb look here. YOUR tired? I didn't get to sleep till almost 4 because the baby was active. On top of that I woke up twice with heartburn and once to go pee. And I had to be to work at 10!)
6. Are you sure your due such and such date? (Are you sure you wanna ask that? I don't have any TUMS today and I am LOOKING for a way to vent!)
7. When I was pregnant...(Yes, I know. Here comes the over-told story about how someone went into labor ON their due date, had only gained 20 pounds and came home in the jeans they were wearing when they took the dang pregnancy test!)
8. How big is the baby supposed to be!? (As big as he wants to! YOUR not gonna be the one delivering this baby, I am. Get off my case.)
9.I am so bloated. (YOU bloated? Okayy. At least you can still see your slim feet. Mine are so swollen I don't WANT to see them!)
10. Can you move a little bit, I can't get by and I know you can't suck in. (WTF! Yes, I actually got told this, TODAY!!)

11. Are you SURE you're not having twins? This is like #6, but should not come out of anyone's mouth who has not gone to medical school and done an OB/GYN residency.
12. Can you make the baby kick? (this said by a strange man with his hand on my belly)
13. Are you sure you can eat that? Again, no medical degree, no say!
I like this post, keep it up! It's so funny how pregnancy seems to make you public property and open for all sorts of commentary on your body.
