Things I vow I will say to pregnant women...


Following on from the I won't say thread...now you've been pregnant, got almost to the end, suffered along with the rest of us and maybe on your 2nd+ baby...what do you vow to say to pregnant women?

mine are (i keep finding myself telling my yoga girlies who are first time mums)

its not always as hard as they say!
Breastfeeding came easily for me, its not always as the horror stories say.
here...i got you a chocolate brownie...actually I bought two have them both!
No, dont bother putting clothes on, i'll come over in my jammies too!

"Here, take my seat!" Even if they don't need it, it's nice to be recognized for being pregnant

'You're going to be an amazing mum'
It always makes me smile when someone says this to me

At work, I had a lot of people who would just ask "When are you due?" "How are you feeling?" - these seem to be so common, but it really meant a lot to me that people would just ask such simple questions to show they care.

I would also ALWAYS hold the door for a pregnant woman even if it meant going completely out of my way.

Ditto to holding the door. It really is a pain trying to catch the door and pull it open.

I vow no horror stories and no old wives tales, too.

THEY LIE!! morning sickness does not always stop in the first tri-mester... ( no matter what your mother , grandmother etc says)

You look amazing...

'Your bump is such a perfect size.'

'You stay there, I'll pick that up for you.'

'You must be tired, but you look gorgeous!'
