Ten Things NOT to Say to Your Pregnant Wife

One of my young unmarried students found this. Now that my little girl is born my wife and I thought these were funny. For those guys whose wife is in that final trimester, I would simply keep moving to another blog.

1. Honey, I don’t mean to alarm you, but have you ever read about anyone actually popping from being so big?

2. Hey Babe, is it OK that I invited some of the guys from work over to see how big you are? They won’t believe me.

3. Honey, come in here and see this horse giving birth on TV. Oh, man that looks like that’s gotta hurt.

4. I challenge you in a touch your toes contest.

5. Honey, I was just straightening up the bedroom…can you tell me if this is a fitted sheet or a pair of your underwear?

6. You’re dreading labor?! Do you know how sore my feet get from standing beside you that whole time?

7. Boy it would be really nice if you went a week or two late so I could watch the six-part mini-series on PBS.

8. No, I couldn’t eat another bite honey. I ate so much I feel…like you.

9. Why don’t you go take a nice, relaxing, hot bath? But don’t put much water in the tub because it’ll overflow when you get in.

10. No, you don’t look huge. “Huge” is such a harsh word…I prefer the term “healthy.”

This made my whole cottage laugh! Thanks for sharing! :)

Hi Jeff! Kenneth was talking about your blog tonight so I started poking around. I just started my third trimester and got a big kick out of these. Thanks for the belly laughs! Hope you guys are doing well!

Raegan,

I am glad that you thought these were actually funny in your third trimester. It is great to hear from you. Tell Kenneth I said hello and to keep in touch.

I hope that your pregnancy and birth are uneventful. How many kids do you and Ken have now?

Grace to both of you!

Mooney
