Things You May Have Asked a Pregnant Woman…

…and what she really wanted to tell you.
Q: Are you dilated yet?
A: You can walk around dilated 2 or 3 cm for three weeks so it really doesn’t matter.
Q: Do you know if you’re having a boy or a girl?
A: Yes, it will be one or the other.
Q: How big are you? [from a telephone conversation]
A: Huge. About to explode.
Q: Are you dilated yet?
A: You can walk around dilated 2 or 3 cm for three weeks so it really doesn’t matter.
Q: Do you know what you’re having?
A: We’re having a giraffe!
Q: Are you dilated yet?
A: The answer is the same as it was when you asked me five minutes ago. Seriously…no changes.
Q: How much more time do you have?
A: Did you just say what I think you said?
Q: Are you dilated at all?
A: You can walk around dilated 2 or 3 cm for three weeks so it really doesn’t matter.
Q: Well, I was just wondering if you were significantly dilated.
A: If I was significantly dilated, I would not be talking to you.
I’ve got one to add. My favorite during the last trimester was:
Q: You haven’t had that baby yet? (while the person asking is standing in front of you looking at your big pregnant belly)
A: Do I look like I’ve had my baby?
Can’t wait to see pictures of the little giraffe, er… I mean baby!
