What to Say and What Not to Say to a Mom-to-Be.....

Bump

I can think of too many, lol!!

Some are:

Do say~   trust, have faith, your body is wise--you are strong
Don't say~   relax, you look tired, you're huge/tiny

Not so nice:  You look miserable.

Nice:  You are glowing

The morning I went into labor for my son.. my mother called me and says "You know people still do die in child birth... what would you do if that happened... have you thought about who you would want to have the baby.. " I LITTERALLY FREAKED OUT.. TOLD MOM THAT IF SHE WAS THAT INSENSITIVE THE BABY SURE WASN'T GOING TO HER... AND SHE HAD SOOOO JUST LOST MY PERSONAL RESPECT.. SADLY SHE HASN'T GOTTEN ANY BACK SINCE! 

Say: You look great pregnant!

Don't say: OMG You're huge!!

Well I hate early on in pregnancy when people ask how far along you are.  I know i'm probably being sensitive but I have yet to gain wait...so far I have lost 10lbs.  The only reason I wore a babydoll shirt (which mind you was NOT maternity) was because I had gas and wanted something loose...lol  So the lady told me, "I was your size too but I was farther along...and having twins!"....  WTF!  Just because soemone is old doesn't mean I wont smack them!

I also can't stand it when new experienced moms tell new moms their pregnancy horror stories.  I have my own horror stories, and it's one thing for a new mom to ask but it's another thing to scare the daylights out of someone for no reason!
