    15 Things You Should Never Say To A Pregnant Stranger

    Pregnant women/vessels of human life are intriguing, let’s face it. But just because a woman is visibly pregnant, it doesn’t give you license to ask her obnoxious questions. Everyone’s sensitivities are different, but unless you’re in dire need of a beatdown, avoid saying the following if the temptation strikes.

    1. I don't care what you say - you must be having a boy/girl because you’re carrying high/low.

    2. Are you having twins?

    3. Do you crave pickles and ice cream?

    4. How are you feeling?

    5. You probably shouldn't eat that.

    6. Oh, you’re definitely having that baby early.

    7. Pregnant women shouldn’t wear that.

    8. Do you have X, Y, and Z lined up yet?

    9. How cute, you forgot. Must be baby brain.

    10. Oh, you must’ve overreacted because you’re emotional and hormonal.

    11. I’m sorry ma’am, but this is my cab- I crossed the street for it. / If I didn’t have a long day at work I’d let you have my seat on the bus.

    12. Oh I just have to rub your belly! (Going in for the rub)

    13. Are you going to give birth today? Like right here?

    14. How much weight have you gained?

    15. So, when and where did you conceive?
