What is your take on words like...
"preggo" or "preggers"?
I honestly don't want to be flamed, but...I can't STAND when people use terms like this to describe something as wonderfully beautiful as pregnancy.
Thoughts? And please, I don't want to get anyone mad, I just want to know if I'm the only one who can't stand it!!

I actually think those words are kind of cute.
To each his own though...... I have little pet peeves like that with other things!

Re: What is your take on words like...
I would rather be called preggo or preggers than "knocked up" 
I also prefer the term "lady with a baby". In the end though, who gives a hoo-hah what people call you - as long as you are comfortable with yourself, let people say what they will.

I don't care either way, preggo-preggers, but just don't call me knocked up!

Doesn't bother me at all, I'd love to just be pregnant right now and don't really care what term is used.

I use them all: preggers, preggo and knocked up. I think they are funny.

Re: What is your take on words like...
I never thought much of it - I guess I refer to myself as preggo and preggers all the time!! And just like snuggleupagus, people at work call me Preggo...
I don't think calling yourself or being called that downplays pregnancy in any way - some people are sort of jokey in their demeanor - like me - I mean, I belly dance for DH, take stupid belly pics, and have the family paint my belly! All silly stuff, but all done with love and excitement as well!
