"Things not to say to a Pregnant Woman", by Anne White (a Pregnant Woman)

   This is the first time I have written on the blog, Michael usually handles that so we will see how this goes. I am now six weeks from our due date March 14, we hope Conner arrives on time or a few days after when the reinforcements arrive. The pregnancy overall has been really wonderful, I was not a huge fan of the first trimester when I was sick and tired all the time and had nothing to show for it, so it seemed like I was just a cranky, miserable person. I loved the second trimester tons of energy, and the baby started moving! Now that the end is in sight I am not as comfortable as I was and my feet are HUGE(by the way huge kind of describes all of me). I am going back and forth between excited and terrified, so the bottom line is I am so ready and not ready at all.

   
   
   
   During the pregnancy I discovered that people feel free to share with you their opinions and observations welcome or not. I am sharing some of the things that have been said to me that I would recommend never saying to a pregnant woman.
   
   
   

   "You really blew up overnight."

   
   

   "I can tell you are pregnant because your face is soooooo.... swollen........"

   
   

   "Five months, five months there is no way I wasn't that big at five months!"

   
   

   "Due in march NO!!!You can't be, your not going to make it."

   
   

   "Are you sure you don't have twins in there"

   
   

   "Eewww are they ok? (Michael said this after I showed him my freshly swollen feet)"

   
   

   "I thought you were pregnant.... when I saw you from behind."

   
   

   "You can tell in your face."

   
   
   

   So hopefully you will be so kind as to not say these thing to pregos, we are people too!!

   The comments and the feet are all worth it because we can't wait to meet our little son!!!!
