What not to say to a pregannat woman....
I have to post one of the comments to the article first. Although I am not pregnant, I have been around the block with friends and family and have heard the frustration.
This by far was the best comment I have ever read:
(currently 7 months along) .....Now that I've finally "popped" I'm just having fun with it. When strangers ask when I'm due, I look at them confused and say "Due? I'm not pregnant." My hubby works away from home and concerned friends want to know if he'll be here for the delivery to which I say "well... he can't really do anything by then, but I'm PRETTY sure he was there for the conception". I warn tummy touchers that if they touch me I will touch them back, they usually agree happily until they reach out and start rubbing and I cup my hand gently about one of their breasts. If I'm uncomfortable, you will also get to be uncomfortable. None of these questions really bother me and if they do I just answer in a way that makes the person regret asking lol.

Re: What not to say to a pregannat woman....
Can I add to this? This just happened an hour ago:
I'm at work running a group with 8 teenagers and one of them brings up the fact that I'm pregnant. Then this conversation happens:
Client: You're pregnant?
Me: Yes, what did you think I was just getting fat?
Client: YEA! You know why I thought that?
Me: I'm going to regret this, but why?
Client: Because of this!
**And he proceeds to come up to me and jiggle my arm fat

I have to post one of the comments to the article first. Although I am not pregnant, I have been around the block with friends and family and have heard the frustration.
This by far was the best comment I have ever read:
(currently 7 months along) .....Now that I've finally "popped" I'm just having fun with it. When strangers ask when I'm due, I look at them confused and say "Due? I'm not pregnant." My hubby works away from home and concerned friends want to know if he'll be here for the delivery to which I say "well... he can't really do anything by then, but I'm PRETTY sure he was there for the conception". I warn tummy touchers that if they touch me I will touch them back, they usually agree happily until they reach out and start rubbing and I cup my hand gently about one of their breasts. If I'm uncomfortable, you will also get to be uncomfortable. None of these questions really bother me and if they do I just answer in a way that makes the person regret asking lol.
28 things not to say
I totally rubbed someone's chubby belly after she rubbed my barely-there bump at 13 weeks. the woman was shocked. it was awesome lol
and MrsS - that's INSANE!! how could they have the nerve?!

Are you serious????? I was never one to get bothered by comments and I didn't even mind it when people touched my belly, but THAT is beyond rude and unacceptable. I am so sorry.. What a jerk!

Re: What not to say to a pregannat woman....
Yeaaaa, the joys of working with teenagers. They are the epitome of people with no boundaries.
The funny part was the rest of the kids were even shocked and couldn't believe he did that. I just very calmly to go sit down, all the way on the other side of the room
