Things NOT to say to a pregnant woman

1. You look chubbier today
2. Are those pregnancy pants or can you still fit in your regular pants?
3. Your belly makes your butt look bigger
4. I knew a pregnant woman once...she lost her baby at 6 months along
5. What happens if you die while you are still pregnant?
6. You actually look pregnant today (if you say this you automatically imply that I just looked fat yesterday)
7. Can I touch your belly?
8. That's a horrible name to name a child!
9. Your baby could be born with down syndrome you know (as if I didn't know that)
10. What if your baby is ugly?
11. You are actually poking out there aren't you?

I'm pretty sure I could think of more, but these are just a few that I've actually heard out of the mouths of the people surrounding me. UGH!

Ummmmmm you need to get over the "can I touch your belly" one...because I want to feel Ellie kick your tummy!!

The rest...are completely obnoxious and I will punch them right in the face.

Fact. I ain't scurred.

First, number 3 is ridiculous. Second, 4, 5, and 9 should never be spoken. Third, did someone actually say that your name was horrible?! I love Eleanore!

And I'm with Jenn with the belly one, but I can see how it would be annoying for people you DON'T LOVE to want to touch your belly (or just do it without asking).
