What not to say to a pregnant woman...

Apparently there is an article out there that says that tapping your belly, loud noises and ROUGH S-E-X is very bad for your baby. They hear everything, don't you know?
Well, if you did not know this, maybe the next time you are in Sam's shopping for your family you can have a random stranger come inform you of this. No joke...a woman came up to me today as I was tapping my belly and proceeded to tell me these three things were detrimental to my baby, according to an article she read. HMMM... What does one even say to this? I had no snarky comments at my disposal, as it completely caught me off guard. Of course I thought of many once I was outside. I did thank her and proceeded to let her know I was no novice and despite all my belly tapping, my other three have come out perfectly healthy. Wonder what she would have said if I addressed the whole rough s-e-x comment? Can't say that I have had anyone venture to talk about this with me before. Thank goodness! I am definitely enjoying a chuckle today about this though. I will be sure to pass on this wise knowledge to anyone I know pregnant though. :)

Isn't it crazy all the things complete strangers believe they are entitled to say to you when you are pregnant?

If I had been drinking something I would have spit it out when she said the last comment. It was so totally off the wall and nothing that a stranger has told me before, lol. It is crazy....but highly entertaining.
