Fed up mom explains what NOT to say to a pregnant woman
Do you have a friend, family member, or coworker that is pregnant and are a little worried about bringing up something that is anxiety provoking or overly personal in a conversation? Here are tips directly from pregnant women themselves that will let you know what is okay to mention and what is an absolute no-no when talking about her pregnancy.
Key Takeaways:
- most women don’t like the remarks they receive when they are pregnant
- less-than-complimentary remarks usually aren’t intended to be cruel or insulting, even though they can quite easily reduce an emotional mom-to-be to tears
- strangers feel the need to comment every time you’re out in public
