"You probably shouldn't eat/drink that."What you want to say: Yeah? REALLY? You want to tell a pregnant lady what to eat? Last time I checked, your weren’t carrying my child. Where’s that bravery coming from? You don't want to go toe-to-toe with a woman who's five months pregnant!

"You look huge!"What you want to say: Oh yeahhhhh, I forgot about that. When you’re pregnant, everyone comments on your size, and it’s “okay” because you’re eating for two. Well, guess what, you’ve ALWAYS been huge. So there.

"Are you having twins?!"What you want to say: Nope. Just one. Just oneeeee girl. But thanks so much for calling me fat! I never really liked you anyways.

"Oh, don’t worry, it’s just the hormones"What you want to say: Yeah? YEAH? You wanna know what happens when you tick off these “hormones”? I’ll give you a hint – it’s not pretty.

"Was it planned?"What you want to say: No, actually, my husband and I were on the flight to our honeymoon destination and I was like, “Hey, Babe. You wanna join the mile high club?” And then a couple months later I was like “Ugh, Babe, I think we’re having a kid!!!”

"Your boobs got HUGE!!"What you want to say: Thanks. Your butt is HUGE.

"You’re due when? Like, tomorrow?!"What you want to say: Oh my God! Like, no. I’m actually only in my second trimester and still have four months to go. But thank you so much for recognizing my resemblance to Free Willy.

"Ugh, you’re lucky, it was so much worse for me!"What you want to say: Really? Tell me about it! Oh wait, that’s right, I’m the pregnant one, not you...

"Are those maternity pants?"What you want to say: Hmm, I don’t know. I’m pushing 180 on this petite 5’4’’ frame, WHAT DO YOU THINK? I have swollen ankles, constant back pain, and haven’t stopped sweating since I got knocked up – I think I reserve the right to NOT talk about the size of my pants.

"Really? Already? Wow you’re so young…"What you want to say: Usually most people say “Congrats!” But you had to get all Teen Mom on me even though two years ago, everyone was all: “She’s gonna be pushing 30 before anyone puts a ring on it.” But how do you like them apples? Now I’m married with a baby on board.
