Any advice on how to compliment a pregnant woman? I work retail and often see pregnant women alone buying 40lb bags of dog food. I want them to know I’m impressed with their choice to carry a literal living being and want to show appreciation

i think you’re probably better off not complimenting them, maybe offer to carry it to their car or something like that instead. idk if this is common but i was taught not to comment on strangers’ pregnancies 😅

In just worried I come off as more “I’m surprised you can carry that” instead of “I’m impressed you are actively choosing to have life inside you”

This is weird. Why do you feel the need to speak on a woman’s pregnancy this comes off really weird. You can maybe help her out but this is either gonna sound condescending or fetishizing to them

Sorry if it comes off as weird. I just find it cool that yall can carry life inside you. And I can only imagine how fucking nuts your hormones and body goes during that whole process trying to keep both of yall alive. Even offering to help her out feels condescending though.

It’s okay to offer to help her out when she shouldn’t be carrying too many heavy things. It would just be a little weird to give that kind of compliment to someone who is pregnant
