People said the darnedest things to me when I was pregnant with my children, which is ironic because I've never met a more emotionally unstable person than myself while pregnant. What is it about a woman's growing baby bump that makes those around her word-vomit random — and often inappropriate — things? Like most of us, I felt like I got a couple of doozies during my times with a bun in the oven — did anyone ever say any of the following to you?

"Any day now, eh?"
"Were you trying?"
"I thought your boobs would be bigger."
"It's just your hormones."
"You don't even look old enough to be pregnant."
"What if your baby is gay?"
"Are you sure you want to wear that?"
"Your baby is going to be like three pounds."
"You should/shouldn't be doing _______."
"You must be having a girl."
"Was everything there?"
"How are you going to handle two?"
"You're huge!"
"You look tired."
