When a friend that is 16 weeks pregnant with twins was, recently, told that "she looked huge," I began to compile this list of things that you should and shouldn't say to a pregnant woman.
Things you shouldn't say:
"Wow you look huge"
"You're so big already"
"Are you pregnant with twins?" (Seriously even women that ARE pregnant with twins don't like this)
"Seriously, you look like you're in your third trimester."
"You look like you're about to pop."
Note: It's also unacceptable to just reach out and grab bellies. It's never okay....never.
Things you can say instead:
"Wow, you have such a beautiful glow."
"What a blessing."
"You look amazing."
"You're so tiny."
"You're going to be such an incredible mama."
Bear in mind that pregnant women have less tolerance for your bullshit so seriously, stop the rudeness.
