10 things not to say to a pregnant woman!!

  Hope you enjoy, this is soooo true!

10 things NOT to Ask/Say/OR Do to a Pregnant Women

1. Rub or feel her belly. Would you go up to a perfect stranger who wasn't pregnant and touch their belly? No, you wouldn't. So why do people feel like a pregnant woman's belly is public property?

2. "Wow, you're getting big." You think? I didn't notice I couldn't see my feet anymore. Thanks for pointing that out to me. Seriously, every pregnant woman is well aware of her growing size. No need to point it out. How about saying something nice like, "Wow, you look great!"

3. "You look ready to pop, I can't believe you still have (insert time frame here) to go." Thank you. So what you're saying is I'm fatter then what I should be? A pregnant woman can be very self-conscious of her growing size. You're probably doing nothing but making her feel even more insecure then she already is, especially if she still has a few months to go.

4. "You haven't had that baby yet?-Nothing makes a pregnant woman want to strangle you more then this if she's already overdue. And if she isn't near her due date, once again you're just telling her she's fat.

5. Telling labor horror stories. The last thing a pregnant woman wants to hear is how you struggled for countless hours to have your last baby. Feel free to keep that story you heard about a stillbirth, or mother dying in labor, to yourself. I'm sure she's worrying enough about her upcoming labor without you having to add to it.

6. "Should you really be eating/drinking that?" What are you, the public nutrition police? Criticizing whatever a pregnant mother is eating or drinking is not appropriate. What she eats and drinks is her business, not yours.

7. "Was it planned?" Talk about invading someone's personal life. Whether a pregnant woman planned her pregnancy or it was an "accident," it's none of your business.

8. "Are you going to have any more babies?" She's currently expecting one baby and you think she's thinking about her next one? She's probably suffering from back pain, swollen ankles, sleepless nights, and has a baby constantly wedging a foot between her ribs. Having another baby is probably the last thing in the world she's even considered right now. Besides, even if she was thinking about having other children, once again that's a personal question she may not want to discuss with you.

9. "Are you going to breastfeed?" Yikes, once again, another personal question a pregnant woman doesn't want to talk with the public about.

10. "Did you take fertility drugs?" This was a very common question I got when people knew I was having twins. No, I didn't take fertility drugs but even it I did why would I tell some complete stranger?

For some odd reason people seem to have no boundaries when talking to a pregnant woman. Next time you think about asking a pregnant woman an inappropriate question, or rubbing her belly . . . Ask yourself, would I say or do this to any other person? If the answer is no, then you should probably think twice about what you may say or do.

the only one of those that bothers me is #6. i'll eat whatever i ucking please, thank you. other then that the others don't disturb me...

AMEN!!! lol  

I hate when people ask me when I'm due and their response is always"OMG really?! You look like you are about to pop! You're huge!" Ya think? just wanna scream at them "Thanks I didn;t feel fat enough a$$hole!" lol

Quoting USMCBabyOnTheWay:“ the only one of those that bothers me is #6. i'll eat whatever i ucking please, thank you. other then that the others don't disturb me...”

Yep especially when and all I want is a champagne and loads of soft serve icecream like from Mcdonalds covered in thick choc syrup, soft sheeses, deli meat, a whole bottle of vodka and seafood.....

OBVIOUSLY your not overdue tho!!! number 4 is my killer today.....

the thing i i hate is when they ask how i like being pregnant... i personally dont like it.... and then they say "i CANT believe you dont like being pregnant, it was my most favorite time bla bla bla"
its like... well then why did you ask me? you obviously are a freak of nature

My favorite is-" OMG your still pregnant!" NO...I had the baby and was just soooo hungry after all that labor i ate him.

Ughhh Im sooooo sick of people saying how big I am and then asking how much longer i have and when I tell them they are like Ohh my gosh hes gonna be big ....OR I have people telling me...."How are the Twins!!!!" WTH...Im only having ONE CHILD!!! THANKS FOR CALLING ME FAT THO!!!!!
Pisses me off...seriously and these are people i see often and every single freaking time I see them they tell me the same thing and most of them are older women, you would think they would remember what its like to be preggers and hear those comments and keep thier mouth shut but NOOOOOOO
I really wanna scream or tell them off...but thats just not my nature...I really dunno what to say...I just grit my teeth under a fake smile and walk away.

Quoting ethensmom:“ My favorite is-" OMG your still pregnant!" NO...I had the baby and was just soooo hungry after all that labor i ate him.”

LMAO! That's great!

LOL I swear the next person who asks me if I'm having twins i'm gonna slap them

lol, that was great I loved the part about eatting the baby!!

annother one is when a man says "word of advice-take the epidural"

like he has ANY CLUE as to what child birth feels like-- i am not saying he is wrong, but come one dude-i am not going to take advice from a guy about what child birth feels like

i hate it when people touch my youngin... but they say i'm being a bitch if i tell them not to feel my tummy? i'm like "ok, well i guess i am then" .. gahh i cant stand it  

UGH! I hate people that will stare at my belly then slowly move up to my boobs. Yes, I am pregnant and have a pregnant belly and boobs thanks for noticing you pervs!  

Yesterday while I was at work a co-worker asked how many kids I have. I told him that this would make #4. That was ok it was when he immediately asked if I was going to get my tubes tied and if not was I even going to use any birth control!  I quickly told him that since he had to know I planned on practicing abstinance.  Some people just don't know when something is none of their business.
