Things to NEVER say to a preggo
In light of all the rude comments made to us preggos lately lets get a thread running of things people should never say to a pregnant woman.
I'll start:
"Boy, you got BIG."
and my personal favorite....
"HOW MUCH WEIGHT HAVE YOU GAINED?"

Someone said that to you!!!
The stupid lady at the deli asked me if I was having twins about a month ago. The funny thing is, even at 28 weeks I think she's still heavier than I am.

Re: Things to NEVER say to a preggo
this was my convo with a complete stranger:
Person: when are you due
me: 4 more weeks
Person: WOW, are you carrying twins
me: umm nope just one
Person: are you sure?
I almost fell on the floor. What kind of question is that! My sister was with me and almost punched the guy out!
some people are just so stupid!

What a jerk- that's not just rude, it's downright mean. I would have said "and thank God for that."

Re: Things to NEVER say to a preggo
"are you sure there's just one in there"?
and people asking how much weight have you gained..this one really ****** me off.
"do you plan on breastfeeding"?
I replied no...
"ohhhhhhhhh well it's okay I guess"

Re: Things to NEVER say to a preggo
This was a secretary of a client of mine. I have since named her dumb A$$. I wish I could have clocked her, but she is not worth loosing a client over.
Dumb A$$: Do you know what you are having yet?
Me: Yes, a girl 
Dumb A$$: I figured that, because your belly is so small and you carry girls in your hips and butt.
Me: I just looked at her and was  and
Ok, and this woman is like 250lbs. and her azz is HUGE!!! OK, I may be preggo but what is your fat azz excuse!
People like that pi$$ me off to no end. Ok, vent over.

Re: Things to NEVER say to a preggo
"Oh look, now you have breasts!"
this has been my personal favorite so far. I admit it is nice to finally have some boobs. But
the woman who said this is older, and we are friendly (we work in the same dept), and sometimes just has no filter between her brain and mouth.
I can't wait till i'm farther along to see what else she says!

"I can just imagine how big you're going to be at 9 months"
Oh, and this is a new one that I got yesterday:
"Did you start getting stretch marks yet?"

I couldn't believe how many people asked me if I was going to bf or not! Nobody's asked me this time around yet (aside from my doc), but I'm expecting it!

Re: Things to NEVER say to a preggo
AHH all of these just KILL me
I've gotten "your belly is still small, but your boobs and butt/hips are just HUGE" 
The one: "are you SURE its a boy? It MUST be a girl, since you are carrying all over" (to me that is always another way of saying you look like a fat azz... gee thanks people, love ya for that!)
Lately I got the "you are starting to waddle" comment ...
Also I get random comments about what I'm eating, if I'm taking care of myself properly, when my feet swell up people LOVE to tell me that I better CALL THE DOCTOR ASAP (even though my blood pressure is low, my feet only swell up on hot days and otherwise I feel fine )
I seriously have NEVER ever EVER thought or dared say ANY of these things to friends/family/co-workers/strangers that were preggo. I don't know what the hell it is that gives people the right to comment on your body when you are pregnant, its like all dignity and common sense go out the door
