1. "May I touch it?"
Pregnant women hear no question more often. Usually we only exchange a handshake in our society. But no sooner is a baby in the stomach than all sorts of human hands want to dig into this intimate area. Accompanied by "Ah!" and "Oh !!" and "I think I feel something!" As if we had suddenly ended up in the tantra group course. Yes, we also think that the ball is a miracle, but it is still OUR body that only those who are regularly allowed to touch anyway are allowed to touch it. And not the colleague from the neighboring department.
2. "Ui, now you can really see something!"
What you do not say! It's already the fifth month! And babies just grow, have you ever heard of them?
3. "Are you sure there won't be twins ?!"
Yes, there are pregnant women with a perfect, round kissing ball under the breast. And there are pregnant women whose belly is growing out of control. Huge and misshapen, almost threatening in many eyes. The woman and also the number of children in it rarely have anything to do with it. It's just a tough pregnancy. So save yourself the comment and don't put the woman in a bad mood!
4. "Don't overwork yourself!"
Comes with every form of movement. And if only the walk to the fridge.
5. "A friend of mine did daily sport until the end, it was great!"
The other extreme. Someone always knows a woman who ran a marathon just before giving birth. But not everyone is an iron mom. And if we just want to be lazy and pregnant in peace, that's really okay!
6. "Freedom will soon be over!"
Hi there? We are getting A BABY and we want to give in to the hormone high again and look forward to it like crazy! So please leave us the illusion. Just a little bit more.
7. "And – have you already eaten sour cucumbers with Nutella?"
Sorry, I think … I have to vomit again …
8. "A glass of sparkling wine did not harm us from time to time."
No – YOU may not, but did you think about the children in your bellies at the time? And no thanks, I do NOT want any more slices of raw milk cheese.
9. "Take something else, you can eat for two!"
Um, and how should the second portion fit into my squeezed stomach?
10. "I also feel very pregnant today."
Just because the tummy tightens a bit after the cake? Hahahaha. No. Really, no. This is not comparable at all.
11. "Yes, yes, the hormones …"
We hear this sentence every time we get angry. Or bitchy. Or have to cry. So very often.
12. "You have a big stomach, this is going to be a boy!"
Yawn, exactly. And when I feel sick, it becomes a girl, and when I have heartburn, the child has no hair. You always carry a mandrake root in your pocket, right?
13. "Do you already know how long you want to stay out of the job?"
Aaaah, here they come, the first harbingers of Mommy Wars. No matter what you answer (e.g. "don't know", "1 year", "3 years", "6 months"), some mothers-to-be always raise their eyebrows because what has been said does not correspond to their image of a good mother. And then maybe this bad sentence follows:
14. "I couldn't do it."
