Word to the Wise

I have found that with my second pregnancy that it is a completely different experience than with Cookie. The morning sickness has been rough, my tummy is much bigger and I had to bust out the maternity pants much sooner.

I think that the hormonal icing on the cake is that today the Barista at Starbucks asked me if I was having twins when I told her that I was only five months. Ugggghhhhhh! Needless, to say it didn't help that I was drooling over a apple fritter.

So I thought I would share a word to the wise this morning and post the top ten things that you really shouldn't say to a pregnant lady.

1. "Hey there, big mama!"
   


2. "My God, you're enormous! Are you sure you're not having twins?"
   


3. "Well, looks like the boob fairy has visited you!"
   


4. "Should you be eating that?"
   


5. "You shouldn't be feeling so tired/cranky/insert-symptom-here. You're not that pregnant yet."
   


6. "So, are you still with the father?"
   


7. "How do you walk without falling forward?"
   


8. "Are you gonna get fixed after this one?"
   


9. "Enjoy sleep/time to yourself/insert-any-enjoyable-activity-here now, because you'll never get any once the baby comes!"
   


10. From any husband or SO (or anyone else for that matter): "Yeah, this pregnancy has been really hard on me, too." Please!
