do i really want to hear that???

comments made to a pregnant woman about the size of her belly should automatically call for the extermination of said commentor:

You have just got to laugh at the asinine and curious comments that people make to a pregnant woman...what else can you do?

You can tell what a person's self esteem is pretty much based on the comments they make at this sensitive and critical time in your life - those who have been pregnant more recently - and who are secure with themselves - tell you "you look fabulous!" "I wish that I had looked that good" "you can't even tell your pregnant unless I look right at your belly" "aren't you just the cutest pregant woman?! - I love those people!

Then we have - the others - "Just when I think you can't get any huger...YOU DO!!" (is huger a word?) "You look like you are about to blow at any time!" (what am I? A whale?) "wow, you look like you might explode!" (just watch me if you make that ridiculous remark again) - these are the observations by women who either a) aren't very comfortable with their own bodies b) haven't been pregnant in a long time or c) feel the need to take a stab when they see me in a weakened state - they don't endear themselves to me with their pejorative opinions.

So, the moral of this blog...be nice to pregnant women! We are carrying an entire little person in there and that is pretty freaking amazing!!

NEVER comment a pregnant woman on the size of her belly...

	Just Lindawrote: I have never been pregnant but even with that I am continually surprised by the things (generally STUPID) that people say to pregnant women. Personally if you held a gun to my head I would never go up to a total stranger and ask if I could touch their belly .... Jan. 31
