Ten unhelpful pregnancy statements
June 2nd 2009 23:10
1. ‘You know that you can’t have sex at all while you’re pregnant, don’t you?’ Week 6.
2. ‘Gosh, you’re bursting out of your clothes already.’ Week 7.
3. ‘You’re so big, are you sure you’re not carrying twins?’ Week 8.
4. ‘I thought you had either put on weight or were pregnant.’ Week 12.
5. ‘Hopefully you’ll have a girl first so that she can look after her brother.’ Week 12.
6. ‘Don’t open that window, you’re pregnant.’ Week 14.
7. ‘Oh, you’re definitely are pregnant aren’t you?’ Week 15.
8. ‘F**k, you’re huge.’ Week 19.
9. 'You’re tiny’. The next day, different person.
10. ‘Are you the right size and shape?’ Several times throughout.
11. ‘It’s a miracle’. Last week.
I won’t say that asking to touch my tummy is an invasive question because so far much of my family have just zoomed in anyway. All I see is a set of salad server hands heading for my belly. And then it’s too late. The grabbing hands grab all they can. Thank-you to those who have asked, I'm grateful.
