What NOT to tell a pregnant lady.

Me, nine months pregnant the first time...

My dad sent me this over the weekend and I laughed out loud.  It's been a rough pregnancy week for me, so it was especially appropriate.

#5 :: Don't tell us how fat or out of shape YOU feel.  We're packing at least 25 extra pounds as we deal with nausea, back pain, swelling, and a host of other unmentionables... and frankly, we just don't want to hear it.

#4 :: Don't tell us "it looks like we're having a girl."  We all know what that means - they say that "girls steal your beauty" well they don't steal our hearing!

#3 :: Don't "kid" us about our condition.  "Wide load coming through!" is not funny.  "Waddle on out of here" does not amuse.  Ellen DeGeneres has a good rule on kidding.  If we're not both laughing, you're doing it wrong.

#2 :: And I cannot stress this enough...  don't guess the due date.  "Is that a Christmas baby?"  Ummm, no...  April.  "You're sure?  It looks like New Years at the latest."  Please stop talking.  You see, pregnant women - especially the second time around - get bigger faster and we don't want to play the guessing game.  If you ask me when I'm due and I'm vague, just be quiet.  We both know you're wondering how I got so big so fast.  You  see, I would be smaller, but I have another human being developing inside of me.

#1 :: Don't comment on our bodies.  Ever.  Really.  But especially when we are pregnant.  What is is about a baby bump that makes people feel it's ok to say things like "God!  You are big!"  And don't say we look small either.  That just makes us worry that something is wrong with our baby.

What ever our bodies look like, it's our business.  As for your thoughts?  Keep them to yourself.  Consider this age old chestnut instead "You look great."
