The editors at Jezebel.com have got us laughing today with their witty social etiquette piece called How to Properly Interact with Pregnant Ladies. The article contains helpful hints such as “Do not talk about a horrible birth experience,” “Don’t talk about her size,” and “Ask before you touch the belly.”

Some of these may seem pretty obvious, and yet, how many times when you were pregnant did a colleague or acquaintance go right ahead and put their hands on your bump without so much as warning? That got us to wondering: What was your biggest pet peeve when you were pregnant? What tips would you add to the Jezebel.com list for making pregnant friends and colleagues feel more comfortable?
