Take notes

Things you should never say to a pregnant woman:

Early in the pregnancy
"You're starting to show. I mean, I'm not sure how that's possible."

Non-pregnant person: "How far along are you now, about four months?" Pregnant woman: "Actually, only about three months." Non-pregnant person, in a surprised tone: "Seriously??"

Later in the pregnancy
Big man: "I don't see how you still do yoga. I mean, you're bigger than I am!"

"My niece is due in April, too, and she's barely showing."

And finally, anytime during the pregnancy
Non-pregnant person: "When are you due?" Pregnant woman: "April." Non-pregnant person: "Wow! Are you having twins?"

All of these things have been said to me during my pregnancy, except for the second one, which was a conversation my friend, who is currently 13 weeks pregnant, had with her neighbor. Do people have no common sense?
