When talking to a pregnant woman there are a few things to keep in mind. No matter how big or small she was before she conceived there will always come a time during pregnancy that she feels "large." So please please PLEASE listen when I say:
BITE YOUR TONGUE!
Examples of what NOT to say to a pregnant woman:::
Are you SUUUUURE there is only one in there?
Awwww, I bet your having a girl, your gaining weight all over and not just in your tummy.
When are you goina "pop"... OH ... you have a long way to go!
Your face is even looking pregnant these days, its really filling out
Wow, your the same size as so-and-so... isn't she due next month?
I bet it's a girl.... ( awkward pause) ... I heard when your pregnant with girls they steal your beauty
then the all time favorite when complaining about not feeling good, or pains etc...
You do know HOW that happens don't you
"You know how that happens?" or "You know what causes that?" -- you, Amy, and Jenn got that a few times during your Christmas visit. Nice to have loving family. ;-)
