Lauren Conrad recently took to her blog to write up four things to never say to a pregnant woman. Here are her rules:
Rule No. 1: Do not ask a married couple when they are going to have kids.
Yes, a lot of married couples do start trying to get pregnant relatively soon after they tie the knot. But that is definitely not always the case—and it’s never a fair assumption to make. Keep in mind that the decision to have children (both if and when), is an extremely personal one...
Rule No. 2: Never ask when someone is due unless you are 100 percent certain they are expecting.
I’ve heard from my several of my friends that this is a question they have been asked in the first few months postpartum when they haven’t quite lost the baby weight and still have a little “bump.” ...So unless they already mentioned that they are expecting, it’s much better to hold your tongue.
Rule No. 3: Refrain from commenting on the size of someone’s bump.
I myself have been guilty of this one. While seeing a friend’s bump grow can be really exciting, you probably don’t comment on the size or shape of any other part of a woman’s body—and it’s not a good idea to comment on her bump either! ...
Rule No. 4: Don’t touch the belly without asking!
This one might seem like a no-brainer, but every mama I know has some story about a stranger touching her pregnant belly...No matter what your relationship to the mama-to-be is, keep in mind that it’s much more pleasant to have someone politely ask if it is OK before groping your midsection.
