20. You are so BIG! Enormous, HUGE, any adjectives that fit- Don't use them!
19. Yep that's a boy for sure I can tell how you are carrying him.
18. Oh yep- it is a girl- I carried my daughter the same way.
17. You will NEVER make it to your due date!
16. You still haven't had that thing! (especially not 3 months before the due date)
15. When is your due date? They must have miscalculated!
14. When is your due date? Oh yea- my birthday is on the 12th, and my neighbor's is the 13th, and my bank teller's is the 18th, and my ......etc.
13. Do you mind if I touch your belly? (complete stranger)
12. I can't believe you are having your children so close together! How will you ever do it?
11. I have never seen a belly so big before! (thanks Annie, hopefully I'll win the blue ribbon at the state fair)
10. Was it planned! (there are no mistakes in the miracle of birth!)
9. Are you gonna eat ALL that?
8. Enjoy your sleep now, you'll never get any when the baby comes.
7. You look so uncomfortable.
6. Are you still tired?
5. Are you STILL eating?
4. Are you gonna get 'fixed' after this one?
3. You look like your gonna pop!
2. Any unsolicited story about the worst labor experience ever. (I've already been there, done that and don't plan on a repeat)
DRUM ROLL PLEASE
Don't ever, ever, ever
1. Ask if there's more than one! This is the most common, and the worst of them all! Are you sure there aren't two in there- you know it happens, There's no way that's just one- well I guess he could be a 14 pounder!
Thought this might help you to be more courteous to pregnant women you see, know or meet. Encourage them, Offer to help with their groceries, give the waitress a GREAT tip! (especially if they are working at Sonic on Roller Skates!) Don't lie and tell them they look great, but you don't have to be BRUTALLY honest! THINK before you speak!

oh my goodness!! i get the whole "were they planned" , "how can you ever do it with them so close together" , and "are you going to get fixed" (i mean really!!????)a lot!!! how irritating!! you are gonna be great and they are great and going to be sooo close! plus they are SUPER cute when they are so close in age and playing together!!
I totally understand! I get 12, 10, and 4 A LOT!! I mean really????????!!!! It is amazing and you are going to LOVE having those babies so close together!! They are such a joy:) and sooo cute when they are so close and playing together!!!
Take care!
Nice Al!!! I'm pretty sure I've heard all of those things both times! Thanks for the laugh! You are beautiful girl...and THAT'S no lie! :)
sorry about the double comment:) i didn't realize the other went through!
The worst for me is the total stranger, who doesn't even ask to touch your belly, but instead immediately approaches you and rubs all over you! I would never want a stranger to come and pick up my baby randomly, so why would they think this would be ok?
You look great, and that due date is right around the corner. Enjoy these last few weeks!
You have a great belly! Keep taking pictures so you can remember how beautiful your tummy was with life growing within.
When I was pregnant with #4 I would get the whole, "do you know what causes that" or "are you going to get fixed" but now I get "when are you going to have another." People are just never satisfied ;)
