Things NOT to say to a pregnant woman part 2

I had my first and only follower (Thank you Miss Niwanda!) Comment on my first list and she even had some to add! She is expecting her second, and I am sure she indeed, is tired of all the comments as well. Here is what she had to add

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.

I totally agree with number 11! I get asked that almost weekly from my District Manager. She is one of those woman who use the whole, "When I was pregnant" lines. Grrr. Don't you just love all the attention?

So in addition to mine and Miss Niwanda's list I decided to add a few more. Feel free to comment what you would like to add, and I'll be sure to include them!.

Starting where Miss Niwanda left off.

14. Your belly gets everywhere 5 minutes before you do! (Well, how kind of you in mention that. I never thought you'd notice!?)
15. You know what causes that, right? (Uhm, let's see. I'm a grown woman, who already has two. I am pretty sure I do. Question is, do you know HOW to cause this?)
16. Well at least your hair looks fuller. (I get the hint you are secretly talking about my never ending waistline right now.)
17. So when do you plan to pop the kiddo out? (Okayy, obviously you haven't gave birth to a baby! There is no POPPING out a child. It's no where as easy as it seems. Give me SOME appreciation.)
18. Your belly is kinda hanging out of your shirt. (Well, I am sorry. I am PREGNANT! Even maternity clothing makers aren't experts on how each individual woman's body reacts to pregnancy! Do YOU wanna make my shirts for me?)
19. From the famous mother-in-law: Come here and let me talk to my baby. *as she squats to the bellys level* (I understand your excitied and all, but is that an excuse to do this whenever you see me at the STORE!? Half the people here probably think we aren't even aquianted!)
20. Can you pick that up for me? (Once again ladies, this calls for a stupid look and then you waddle away :) )

More to come!

Hah! I think #19 may be the beginning of a whole different kind of list!
