      It’s still best not to bring it up. I’ve known folks that, due to series of miscarriages, didn’t talk about it until like month 6 or 7. For similar reasons some cultures are different about it. My Russian friend talked about hers, but said in Russia you really don’t. Like a family will put together a nursery but not really discuss it until after the baby is born. That was one person for the record, I don’t know a ton of Russians, but it kinda indicated different people do it differently.

      Actually, people carry weight in different ways. I tend to gain most of my weight in my gut, I have to gain a lot of weight before it becomes noticeable elsewhere.

      In high school every one thought the one teacher was pregnant. Nope just getting fat.
