Appropriate things to say to a pregnant woman:
Wow, you look great!
How are you feeling?
Oooohhh your belly is so cute. (Best attempted if you are blonde and bouncy.)
How are you?
Inappropriate things to say:
Are you sure you aren't carrying twins/triplets?
You are HUGE!
My friend/sister/daughter is due six weeks before you and is way smaller.
I am at a loss as to how to respond to some of the comments that I get on a seemingly daily basis. Don't people realize how rude they sound? I'm afraid I became a little shrill yesterday when responding to the co-owner of the store with: "My midwife measured me two days ago and I am perfect. Perfect! Totally and completely average, do you hear me?!"
Of course, my first reaction was to kick her in the shin, so a little shrill was probably the way to go.
