Let's Review!

Things one should not say or do to a pregnant woman:

1.) "Wow, you can really tell that you are pregnant from the way you are waddling... I mean walking."

2.) "You know, pregnancy is great for a while with the glow, but then women just get big, uncomfortable, and grumpy."

Note: just do not comment on a woman's mood, period. This really isn't limited to pregnancy.

3.) Any comment about clothing being too tight, small, or too frumpy unless you are their bestest friends.

4.) Any suggestion that the clothing at Victoria's Secret would not "fit" them anymore. We are not pregnant in our butt, and our boobs are fantastic, thanks.

5.) "Wow - you look so much further along than that!"

6.) "Are you sure it isn't twins [wink wink]."

7.) Any effort to touch a stranger's (or possibly even an acquaintance's) belly, especially if you are in an elevator. Or at work. Or at the store. Or at church. You get the point.

Appropriate things to say to or do for a pregnant woman:

1.) "You look great!"

2.) "You make it look so easy"

3.) "You'll be a wonderful mother"

4.) "Can I carry that for you?" (but let it go if she says no thanks)

5.) Walk slowly - we have to be careful now, as our balance is off, and it's frankly just hard to keep up.

6.) Ask what they feel like eating, and be ready with suggestions if they aren't sure.

7.) NOTHING - pregnant women are just as happy as normal strangers to be ignored.
