Things not to say to a pregnant woman...

Since we're on a roll here.

1. You MUST be having twins... look at how big you are!

2.  I ended up with 64 stitches "down there" after my first baby.

3.  Can I rub your belly?

4. Were you trying? / Is this baby a surprise?

5. Aren't you too old/ young/ poor to have a baby?

6. Better get your sleep now, you won't be getting any for the rest of your life!

7.  Is your husband disappointed it's a girl? / Are you disappointed it's a boy?

8.  You shouldn't be eating that!  It has caffeine/ alcohol/ a listeria risk/ too much sodium/ so on!

9.  Breastfeeding/ Formula Feeding is inappropriate and disgusting, and I hope you don't plan to do it.

10.  Oh I hate the baby name you picked out, so I'm going to call the baby the name I've chosen instead.

  • Can I add one?

    "Labor is gonna hurt like hell!" -- I always HATE when people say this to pregnant women.

  • You forgot:

    Why are you still here at work?

    Aren't you due any day now?  (When I was 7 months...)

    And the constant calls to "Just check if you've gone into labor yet."

  • I hate when people say things like "just you wait." if I am feeling sore and tired today a simple, that sucks or I am sorry is sufficient no need to tell me it'll get worse or that I am just preparing for sleepless nights. Yes, I know the baby will keep me up, but I am already not sleeping for longer than about an hour or two, so stfu.
