Top 10 things to NEVER say to a pregnant woman

Over the past few weeks I have had the opportunity to compile this lovely list....

#10
Wow, are you sure you are ready for another kid? (umm...hello...a little late for that one!)

#9
I was beginning to wonder if something was wrong with you since you have been trying for so long.

#8
You look great! (Sounds good so far....should have stopped there) Too bad you're about to get fat!

#7
I wasn't a bit sick with any of mine! ( I mean, really. I am happy for those who don't have any sickness...but don't rub it in when I am vomiting multiple times a day.)

#6
I actually lost weight with my kids, and left the hospital in my skinny jeans that were big on me!
(This one made me more nauseous...which I didn't think was possible at this point.)

#5
Are you using your stretch mark cream? (Really, does this matter to the outside world?)

#4
I ran a marathon when I was 9 months pregnant. (Good for you....I run to the toilet all day long)

#3
I didn't wear maternity clothes until I was 30 weeks.

#2
When you feel sick, just put it out of your mind. (Do you really think if that worked any woman would ever be sick????????)

#1
This is the best one...and came from a man (not Jim, thank GOD)

Man: Hey, I heard you were pregnant!
Me: Yes, that is why I haven't been myself lately, I have been feeling pretty sick.
Man: Oh, I just figured it was a bad case of PMS.

(Ok, men, listen: NO UTERUS=NO OPINION!!!)

    I'm sure there are many more that can be added to your list. I'm praying that your morning sickness will go away soon and the rest of the pregnancy will be a piece of cake. See ya soon!

    Add to that list . . .

    "Honey, where's that 10-pack of Snicker's you bought yesterday . . . YOU ate all those?!?"

    I totally forgot about your incident! Too funny! I am just glad it isn't just my husband who says things without thinking sometimes. :)

    i seriously dont get why everyone is filled with bad advice and dumb comments as soon as they get around a pregnant woman. nice list.. im sure you can add more the last month when everyone can tell you how to make the baby come faster.
