Do you secretly hate when people look down at your baby bump and call you "preggers"? Well, it looks like you're not the only one.

It turns out, there are a lot more annoying terms out there than we thought (some of which we weren't even aware of!). Read on to see the top phrases that make these mamas cringe in disgust.

"We're pregnant."
