What to say, and What not to say when a woman is experiencing MORNING SICKNESS!

I saw this and thought this was funny. So I wanted to post it. Enjoy!



WHAT TO SAY:

You look wonderful!

Let me know if I can do anything to help or make you feel better.

Can I get you anything?

Maybe you should rest.

Take it easy/take a break.

Go for a walk.

You'll feel better soon.

Hang in there.

Once you get past this, things will be much better.

Just think of all the good things ahead.

What NOT to Say:

It's all in your head.

You have to eat something.

You'll feel better if you put make-up on (fix yourself up).

You'll feel better if you get out of bed.

You don't look too happy being pregnant.

What's for breakfast/lunch/dinner?

Try to get your mind off it.

It will just go away or deal with it.

You look terrible or miserable.

Anything that comes out of anyone's mouth on days when it's really bad.

Sometimes it's best to smile supportively and keep the cold washcloths coming.
