What Not To Say To A Pregnant Woman

Mila Kunis was recently on Jimmy Kimmel and had a little stint about "Men, stop saying we're pregnant". Having been pregnant twice- I have pregnancy sympathy for her and totally understand. To add to her feelings- I've continued with a couple of things my husband would say that didn't set well with me at the time.

"Your body is ruined." That was quickly re-worded after I glared at him to "I mean, your body is not going to be the same. Everybody knows that." I understand that my body is not going to be the same and I'm fine with that. To say my body is ruined does not sit well with me. Good try on the back tracking but I heard you loud and clear the first time. Something you don't say to a pregnant woman. Instead try: "You're always going to be beautiful in my eyes".

"You're snoring". Yes, I am- but that means I'm sleeping. Sorry that our growing baby is pushing all my organs up on my diaphram where I can barely breath, causing me to snore. Between the heartburn and back ache- I'm lucky to get some sleep. You don't have to wake me up to tell me because it's not going to go away. My husband starting bringing home ear plugs from work. "You're snoring" is something you don't say to a pregnant woman. Instead try: Nothing- don't say anything.

"Stop complaining". I'm not complaining just to complain. I'm complaining for sympathy. I want you to know that I don't feel good, my feet are the size of an elephant's, I can't sleep, I'm so hot, my face is broken out and swollen, my back aches, I can't walk 10 feet without breathing hard, I have the worst heartburn, and I could go on and on. When I'm complaining I just want you to know that I'm miserable and I would like some help or sympathy. We can get a little needy when we are pregnant. "Stop complaining" is something you don't say to a pregnant woman. Instead try: "Yes dear or I'm sorry" and leave it at that. (Or try to mend whatever she is complaining about".)

"You're going to eat all that". Yes, I am. I know I'm going to be miserable and want to throw up afterwards- but sometimes you can't stop eating that whole gallon of ice cream. Yes, I'm going to complain about it afterwards and ask you why you let me do it. "You're going to eat all that" is something you don't say to a pregnant woman. Instead try: "I love you" if the subject gets brought up.

So to sum it up really- watch what you say to a pregnant woman. We already know all this- we don't want to hear it from somebody else. You don't really want to mess with a pregnant woman's hormones. On a side note: My husband is still alive and I love him very much.
