Things You Should Not Say to Pregnant Women, Ever, Upon Pain of Death

  1. Upon seeing her at the office/church/wherever, if she’s overdue: “What are you still doing here?”
  2. While in the birthing room at the hospital, watching the fetal monitor: “Oh, look, honey, you’re having a contraction!”
  3. At the beginning each and every cell phone call: “Is it time?!!?!?”

You get the idea.
