"Your snoring is keeping me awake." "Why are you so
tired?" "I''
ll be glad when
your hormones go back to normal." Sometimes husbands just don''t get it. And
that''s just for starters — mothers-in-law, coworkers and total strangers can
have a knack for saying exactly
the wrong thing, too. We asked iVillagers to set the record straight: "What
should you never
say to a
pregnant woman?" Humanity, listen
up:
"Hey there,
big mama!"
"My God,
you''re enormous! Are you sure you''re not having twins?"
"Well,
looks like the boob fairy has visited you!"
"Should you
be eating that?"
"You
shouldn''t be feeling so tired/cranky/
insert-symptom-here. You''re not
that pregnant yet."
"So, are
you still with the father?"
"How do you
walk without falling forward?"
"Are you
gonna get fixed after this one?"
"Enjoy
sleep/time to yourself/insert-any-enjoyable-activity-here now, because you''ll
never get any once the baby comes!"
From any
husband or SO (or anyone else for that matter): "Yeah, this
pregnancy has been
really hard on me, too." Please!Write your abstract here.
