Before I was pregnant I never thought about how it feels when people walk up to a preggo lady and touch their belly. Well I definitely have thoughts on it now! Here are 5 simple rules I have decided that people need to follow when approaching a pregnant Sarah-
1. Don't touch me unless you are family or friends.
2. Don't tell me how big I am or how big I am getting
3. Don't say 'you're still pregnant?' - That is a stupid question and when you ask I am literally holding back to not call you stupid or worse!
4. Stop telling me I am eating for two- it is not entirely true. I currently have a 4-5 pounder in my belly. She does not require an extra meal. You are either calling me large (which goes against rule #2) or you are stupid.
5. Lastly, stop telling me to get all the sleep I can now before the baby is born. That, again, is a stupid statement made by someone that has never been pregnant. Because if they have they would know that pregnant people don't sleep well either.
Do you sense that I might have some hostile feelings? I did- but I feel much better now =)
