What you really shouldn't say to a pregnant woman...
"You're huge!" Thank you, I know I'm fat.
"Are you sure you don't have twins in there?" Thank you, I know I'm fat.
"Are you sure your due date was right?" Either you're saying you think I'm bigger than I should be, or I'm smaller than I should be. Either way.....
"[Any story about a horrible labor experience]" Why? Why are you speaking these words to me?
"Enjoy your sleep (or anything for that matter) now, because soon it will be gone!" Thanks for the encouragement.
"It hurts so bad, you're going to want an epidural." Thanks for the encouragement.
What people should be saying instead...
"I made brownies. I'll bring you some."
"You look fantastic! You deserve a brownie."
"Can I buy you lunch, or a brownie?"
"You're going to be a great mom! I made you some brownies."
"You're baby is going to be the cutest little thing ever! Have a brownie."
"I'm going to stop over and bring you some dinner, and brownies."
