What NOT to say to a pregnant woman (courtesy of Gavin)

Sometimes its hard to think before you speak. My boyfriend is great at doing this, especially when it comes to my pregnancy. There are just some things you don't comment on or mention when a woman is pregnant -weight, expanding tummy, and being pregnant in general.

Now most of the time when he makes a comment, I turn around with exaggerated shock on my face, eyebrow raised, ready to give him crap for it. It usually only takes Gavin half a heartbeat to realize what he's said. We enjoy the moment with a laugh and file it away to joke about later. *wink wink* Haha!

Here are a few examples that will hopefully amusing you as much as they amused us:

"You're a huge, HUGE, girl!" 

Oh, gee, thanks Babe ... Being called huge when your prego is never good. In this case we were at Rite Aid and I was complaining about something that Gavin considered to be a very female thing to complain about (can't totally remember what it was, but I'm sure it was super girly ... I have my moments ya know).

"I'm just giving you room to grow ..."

This little gem was spoken early in the pregnancy, so I wasn't even showing yet. The last thing I wanted was a comment on how big I'm gonna get.
____________

"It's like you have udders!" or "Maybe you'll be able to squirt milk!"
Last time I checked I'm not a cow, but the comparisons just keep rolling off his tongue. I guess he thinks my breast feeding will be like a scene from a cartoon, where the farmer squirts the milk into the kittens mouth or something. Lol. To be fair, when I referred to myself as a feeding machine, he said that was a horrible comparison and didn't want me to compare myself with a machine. (That's a start, right?)

This last one needs a little background first: I was in my 1st trimester and always crazy nauseous. Walking made the nausea worse, so when we went to the mall one night I asked him to park as close as possible. Gavin ended up parking like a freaking mile away! I said "you should have parked in the expectant mother parking" to which he responded with ...

"But you're not expecting!"

Oh really?!? I'm not expecting?!? He swears he meant was that I wasn't showing and he didn't want people to think we were abusing the expectant mother parking spot. I was a bit hormonal, very feisty, and didn't care one bit what other people thought. I ended up storming into the mall, bought what I needed, not speaking to Gavin for a good hour or so. Now we laugh at the memory and Gavin has decided it definitely tops the list of what NOT to say to a pregnant woman -no matter what stage she is in.
