Photo by Dinidh OBrien

When a woman is pregnant, her body is changing and growing throughout those 9 months, and with those changes can come fear, apprehension, and insecurity about her body. A word to the wise, it would be very advantageous for those around her to never say...or sing...any of the following.  :) 

10. Are you pregnant? 
9. You are HOW far along? Wow! You look like you could give birth now! 
8. People, don't ever refer to a pregnant woman as an elephant or any other type of large mammal.  
7. You are looking "over gross" (commenting on the woman's weight). 
6. How many DO YOU have in there? 
5. You're HUGE!!! 
4. You look about ready to explode!!!  
3. Singing as pregnant woman walks by, "Rolly Polly, Rolly Polly".....Yes, this actually happened.  
2. Are you sure you aren't having twins?  
Drum roll please.........
1. You could use that thing (belly) as a table to eat a meal.
