If you've ever watched What to Expect When You're Expecting, you probably know that pregnancy can be very different for each woman. Some remember it as the most joyous period of their lives, while others see it as less rosy. People's words also matter, and sometimes, they might say things that are a bit crazy.
Just the other day, pregnancy and postpartum fitness coach Emily Snell asked women to share the most inappropriate things people said to them while they were pregnant. While some of these are quite funny, most are just plain unacceptable. What happened to treating others how you would like to be treated?

I found out I was having twins at 10pm, called my sleeping mom & told her. Next morning she told me about her awful nightmare that I was pregnant with twins. They’re 17 now and very loved by all 🤣

"Er, no"
"Hmph. It's so unfair that people like my daughter have to spend years doing IVF while people like YOU just stumble into pregnancy"

Someone asked me when I was due. I informed him I wasn't pregnant and he wished me condolences for my loss, assuming I had a miscarriage.
I've never been pregnant.
