Things that are simply forbidden (!) To say to pregnant women
Not to mention the size of the nose, not the height of the abdomen and not to mention the word "cooked" - an article that everyone should cut, save and pass on to friends

There is no doubt that pregnancy excites not only you, but also your environment and sometimes also people that you would not define as too close, but also for them, it turns out, it is important to voice their opinion on the subject. Since the fetus growing inside you cannot be ignored, probably in the advanced months of pregnancy, it is okay to allow those around you to ask and inquire about the progress of the pregnancy, but there are questions and thoughts they should definitely keep to themselves.
So what are the things that no pregnant woman enjoys hearing from people who feel free to say or ask them? Here's a particularly annoying list, you're more than welcome to send it to the snoopers around you: Are you
pregnant for the
JAMA app
?
Friends, just not.
A woman is not asked if she is pregnant.
Not even if she gave up her glass of wine or her favorite sashimi dish and certainly not if you think her stomach has thickened a bit.
Not every woman who complains of nausea is a woman in early pregnancy and even if she is - it is not legitimate to ask.
She may be pregnant but never wants to announce it and she may be having a hard time getting pregnant and this question will hurt her.
In any case, this is something private that should be left to each person to tell at their own time and initiative.
This question, by the way, is relevant in all its biases, for example - "What month are you in?".
Just think how unpleasant it is for a new mom who did not know she was already a child to hear this.

Towards a second birth: recommendations for equipment that should be at home

Friends, you are not a tummy tuck expert, so let go.

Do you have more time / another moment, you give birth
, sorry, you are fortune tellers and you did not tell anyone? How do you know what the condition is in the uterus? It is not of interest to predict the future of the pregnancy and tell her with confidence that she has actually walked out of the delivery room (and she is generally in the month of Friday) or that she has more time (and there is a situation that she is giving birth tonight). You do not know where it will meet her, so just let go.
Your nose is not swollen, you are not close to giving birth
and a relative of the previous sentence is this statement. There is some speculation that only when a pregnant woman has a swollen face, and especially a nose and she looks "cooked" - is she close to giving birth. well no. Some women give birth with a completely normal nose. Do not bother and fuck women who are just before giving birth, heavy and dead already to end with the saga, with your unscientific tenure.
Your stomach did not go down at all
And from the same family - your stomach has not yet dropped low enough.
Are you an expert in abdominal height?
No.
So you do not know exactly where the fetus is and whether it is going to screw up in the birth canal soon.
Even if it seems to you that the woman is not "seen" before giving birth, you should not share it with her.
Do you have twins?
Each has a different sized belly, at a different stage and in a different shape.
It is not of interest to try to find out the number of embryos in the abdomen according to its size.
And that's not your business either.
No one wants to hear a critique of what she looks like, certainly not after she carries a fetus in her womb for 9 months.

Do you
really
look finished
? Thanks! There is nothing a pregnant woman would want less to hear than a critique of how she looks. She has been carrying a fetus in her womb for 9 months, the beginning must not have been easy, why do you have to sprinkle salt on her wounds?
Tell people who keep bombarding you with their tastes that it's time to be positive, less critical and more accommodating. Make it clear to them that they will not poke and think that they know better than anyone what is going on in your stomach and do not be ashamed to keep away from you those who are not doing you any good during this period, or at all. Pregnancy is easy and pleasant!
The Jama app was established with the aim of addressing mothers of babies from birth to age three, and centralizing for them content, activities, tips from experts and videos that will accompany them throughout this challenging period.
All the content in the app "grows" together with the baby and is precisely adapted to its developmental stages, so that the mothers receive only what is relevant to them and interests them at any given moment.
The Jama app is the place for mothers in Israel to meet and get to know other mothers around them, and create new and exciting friendships in the fascinating journey.
