The only acceptable thing to say to a pregnant woman about her appearance

There is only one acceptable thing to say to a pregnant woman about her appearance:

“You look beautiful.”

Practice it if you must. Say it in front of a mirror. It’s OK to lie if you don’t see the beauty.

But what about … ?

No. The answer is no. Repeat after me: “You look beautiful.”

But she’s as big as a house. A whale. A giant watermelon!

You must stop talking right now. If you can’t say “You look beautiful,” talk about the weather, or reminisce about the end of our long national nightmare (was it only eight years ago?). Or just zip it. Please. Everyone will be better off.
