Advice to those with pregnant friends...

This article on "6 Things to Never Say to Your Pregnant Friend" was great! I have entered that time in my life where I now attending more baby showers than weddings, so these pointers are good to know! Hopefully, in the past, I've been cautious and nobody has wanted to "poke my eyes out" like the writer Paula Kashtan states.

Yes, those are all pretty bad.

I have two personal faves from my first pregnancy - one, at a party when a complete stranger touched my belly and asked if I was pregnant (I was so tempted to deadpan "No, why do you ask?). Second was when I was about a week shy of the due date, and a cashier at the dollar tree flat out informed me that my ultrasounds were wrong and I was having a girl. Um, yeah.

that is a funny list, but sadly so truthful!
yea, i remember hating to hear the horror stories. i wondered if anyone ever had a good pregnancy/delivery story to tell.
i think pregnant women need all the encouragement they can get!
