I've been lucky enough that I haven't received a ton of negative comments. But that doesn't mean people haven't said things to me that you probably shouldn't say to an emotional, pregnant woman...like EVER!! Here are just a few of those such comments (Yes, I can laugh at them now but at the time...not so much!!)
"Oh - you're coming along nicely." (This isn't that bad...it just made me feel as if I were a turkey roasting in the oven...) "Look at you gaining weight." "How ya feelin', chubs?" "Yeah, you can definitely tell you've gained weight." "Your butt is bigger for sure!" "You must be due any day." My response "Actually, I still have 7 weeks to go." "Looks like you got huge overnight!" I know none of these comments were meant the way I took them...blame it on the hormones...or lack of sleep...or whatever. At the time, they bothered me and most I probably cried over. #pregnantchickproblems (And yes, I'm ready for my hormones to be back in check, thank you very much!) Have you had any pregnancy related comments like these ever said to you? Or have YOU made a comment to a pregnant woman that maybe you shouldn't have?!
