Things You Should Never Say to a Pregnant Woman


Sometimes it hurts your feelings, sometimes it makes you mad...and sometimes you have to just laugh.

There are so many things I have heard while being pregnant where I go "really?! did they just say that?"
Some of these things might not bother some people...but I thought this would be a funny compilation to put together, so I asked some people what kinds of things people 'should never say to a pregnant person'.
Hope it makes you laugh... if you have any more please feel free to comment!!

"Your face looks pregnant"- Rebekah A.

"Oh stand next to me (while taking a picture) I'll look skinnier" 

"oh you're having a girl, girl's steal your beauty" - Jane P.

"Oh you are definitely having a boy/girl no matter what the ultrasound says. I know I've been right x amount of times"-Christina V.

"You're HUGE! How much weight have you gained?!" - Michelle P

"oh your kids will probably be retarded, if not them... their kids. That's why you don't mix races" 

"your daughter is going to look like a dumpling, because that is all you've been craving"- DG Y.

"You even look pregnant from the back!" -Holly E.

"Oh wow, You're eating again?!" 

"did you WANT to have another baby?"

"You're so big, are you having twins?!" - Christina V.

"you look very heavy"

"wow, you're really retaining water" -Sara P.

"does everyone get a lot of cellulite when they are pregnant?"

"are you sure you should eat that?"

"Oh, my delivery was horrible, let me tell you my horror story..." -Christina V.

"How many kids is this? oh... do you guys not believe in birth control?"

"maybe you should start exercising"

"you're feet/face/legs/butt/arms are so swollen!"

"it must be hard finding things to wear huh?"

"are you sure its not twins?" - Sara P
