You Look Fabulous!
The One Thing You Should Always Say to a Pregnant Woman
This should be mandatory knowledge for anyone who crosses paths with pregnant women. Seriously, when was the last time a woman not expecting a baby asked someone to comment on her size? Yeah, that’s right—never! So why do people think it’s okay to remark on the appearance of a tired, hormonal woman who’s literally growing a human being? Let’s put an end to the unsolicited advice, shall we?
The only thing you need to say to a pregnant woman is: “YOU LOOK FABULOUS!” That’s it. No exceptions allowed.
Take it from Vanessa, a mama-to-be with her third child on the way. After an awkward encounter with a stranger at the store who felt entitled to her due date and then had the audacity to say, “Wow, are you sure it’s not twins?” she was inspired to create a guide for how to appropriately engage with pregnant women.
“Listen, dude,” she quipped, “there’s no other situation where it’s deemed acceptable for a random person to critique someone’s body in public.” So the next time you feel the urge to comment on a pregnant woman’s appearance, just stick to the mantra: “YOU LOOK FABULOUS!”
Asking if she’s sure it’s not twins (or triplets) or that she must be due any minute is flat-out RUDE. It’s not charming; it’s not small talk. It’s just plain inconsiderate, and it’s high time someone put it out there.
