What Not To Say

A Few Helpful Hints On What Not To Say To A Pregnant Lady

-Look at your ghetto booty

-Maybe I didn't recognize you because your face has gotten wider
-Move it fatty
-Hey chubby
-Wow your feet
-Look at your ghetto booty
-Are you on a regular exercise plan
-You better start using stretch mark cream

If you can't tell already, I have been told by one to many people that I am large.  I have seriously wanted to slap a couple of  people.  Maybe, a time or two I have noticed a little weight gain on someone, but never would I flat out tell them.  There are some things that you should just keep to yourself.


Sometimes I want to cry other times I want to laugh.  Yes, maybe I had to get maternity jeans a lot earlier than most other women and I might have even grown out of them.  But I can say, I have a healthy baby girl growing inside of me and that is all that matters.


Thank heavens I have a darling husband who loves my new curves and makes me feel more beautiful than ever.  He has even let me spend countless dollars on maternity clothes, even though I know that is the last thing he would like to be spending our money on.  One of my sister-in-laws took me shopping.  She was kind enough and knew how much I needed maternity clothes.  This was one of the kindest acts anyone has ever done for me.


I now have sympathy for pregnant women.  I can understand why they waddle, why they NEED the AC blasting and why sleeping with a million pillows is totally normal.


So if you see a prego, take my advice and leave out the fat jokes.  There are a few situations in life where I think it is totally okay to lie.  I realize I am hormonal and most people have good intentions but the feelings are still real.


If you are pregnant or become pregnant you deserve to pamper yourself.  A warm bath, massage, pedicure, your favorite meal, a good show or book are what I have found help.  For goodness sakes you are growing a human inside of you.  I have to remind myself of that daily!

  4. This cracks me up because I've heard them all, plus more, but I keep thinking - man if Janessa looks big pregnant (which I'm positive you do not), I must look like a WHALE when I'm pregnant (and I totally do!)

  6. People said those things to you??? Are you kidding?? They must be blind... I totally heard all those things when I was pregnant, but I really was HUGE... You look tiny in every picture I have seen, I forget you are pregnant even because you can't tell!
