- "Pregnancy is a very specific 40 weeks in a woman's life in which such strange, yet similar things happen to all of us carrying the load. For some reason, the un-pregnant among us constantly feel the need to comment on our current state. This site was created to share our horror stories, make each other laugh, and come together as a community of women whose skinny jeans may never fit again."
“A friend told me, ‘I think it’s a girl because of how wide you look from the back.’ ” -SARA GILBERT
Don’t try to guess the gender of the baby, especially if you think she’s having a girl. You are essentially telling a pregnant woman that her ass looks fat because all of the pregnancy myths say that women gain weight on the bottom when they’re having girls.
People would always say “So this is the home stretch for you.” Then I would say, “Well, no I’m just six months.” Then I would have to make them feel better and say that I’m carrying twins. -GARCELLE BEAUVAIS
Don’t ask a pregnant woman if she’s having twins. In essence, you’re saying that the woman is so enormous and you can’t imagine that she’s only having one child at a time.
After puking my guts out for an hour at 3 A.M., I crawled back into bed next to my husband and he said, “Next time could you close the door.’” -Susan Rovner
Don’t ask a pregnant woman how her husband is doing! Really. Who cares how he’s doing? She’s the one carrying the load. He just planted the seed. His job is done. He’s not watching his body morph into some freakish shape that seems against all the laws of nature.
