Things NOT to say to a pregnant woman

Things not to say to a pregnant woman

You look 11 months pregnant!”

“Are you sure you want to eat that? You’ve already eaten quite a bit” or “You’re still hungry?”

When the woman is close to her due date don’t say, “You haven’t had the baby yet?”

No pregnant woman wants to hear about how hard your labor and delivery was. I’m sorry it was difficult for you but it’s not the best idea to share your scary story with a woman about to give birth.

“I bet you feel miserable.”

Those stretch marks will go away, right?“

I’m not going to buy you new clothes if you keep outgrowing them.

Wow, that woman looks great for having two kids.You don’t say that to a woman who isn’t pregnant.

Honey, I don’t mean to alarm you, but have you ever read about anyone actually popping from being so big?

Honey, come in here and see this horse giving birth on TV. Oh, man that looks like that’s gotta hurt.

You’re dreading labor?! Do you know how sore my feet get from standing beside you that whole time?

“Wow honey! You think you’re big up front, you should see it back here.”

Re: Things NOT to say to a pregnant woman

Thanks! You are soooo right!


The other day, I was up at my daughter's school. The secretary asked me what the age difference was going to be between my oldest and this baby, and she proceeded to tell me:

"YOU ARE INSANE!! WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU THINKING???"

and

"Your life is going to be totally MISERABLE - don't you know that?!"

and

"I don't envy you! You will NEVER have a life again!"


The other moms who were up there with me were horrified! ALL our mouths dropped!
