The world of compliments is fraught with danger.
1st Trimester - the usual rules of compliments don't apply
W: (lifting up t-shirt) Am I showing?
Me: No, you look fine.
W: There should be something there surely?
Me: I suppose you look a little bigger.
W: Are you saying I've put on weight?
Me: Er... no? (pause) Yes?
(my internal monologue) Help!
2nd Trimester - getting it right
W: My jeans don't fit anymore
Me: Oh no!
W: See? I look sooo big.
Me: You don't look big you look pregnant darling.
Smiles all round.
3rd Trimester - back to square one
W: I don't feel as vast as I usually do.
M: Really?
Wrong answer.
