a couple more suggestions for people talking to preggos

6. don't tell your pregnant friend what exercises she "should" be doing. especially if you have never had a baby. constructive suggestions from other mothers are fine (e.g. "ooh, i had pgp too, i found yoga really helped with that"). but if you've never had a baby, really? you don't know what you're talking about. so can it.

7. if you've just met a preggo for the first time, say at a mutual friend's birthday party, do not ask her "so how long did it take you to get pregnant?" what an incredibly intrusive question! your friend's pregnant friend doesn't know you, and probably has no interest in sharing personal details of her life with you in front of other strangers. or maybe, in the interests of education, she would like to share with you all sorts of gory details of her multiple tries and miscarriages. what fun dinner party conversation! in any case, back off, please.
