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?"

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. Chat Icon

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!
Chat Icon 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

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 Chat Icon

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 Chat Icon and Chat Icon

Ok, and this woman is like 250lbs. and her azz is HUGE!!! OK, I may be preggo but what is your fat azz excuse! Chat Icon

People like that pi$$ me off to no end. Ok, vent over. Chat Icon

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 Chat Icon

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 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 Chat Icon

I've gotten "your belly is still small, but your boobs and butt/hips are just HUGE" Chat Icon

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 ... Chat Icon

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 Chat Icon)

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 Chat Icon
