Have come across the above phrase twice now during my pregnancy.
Now 32 weeks and now feel deserving of loving/considerate attention from anyone that should apparently befall those in up-the duffery conditions.
Any heart warming stories out there of kindness shown to pregnant ladies?

I can't think of any specific stories, but after being pregnant for what felt like forever with DD, then going around town with a big pram or baby in a sling, I realise I took it for granted that people get out of the way for me on the pavement and hold open doors etc.

It's only now when I sometimes go out without DD, that I'm surprised that people don't still automatically jump out of my way.

I'm 16wks pregnant but not showing enough to make a difference

I had a lovely lady in sainsburys tell me (on a rare extremely hot day on June 29th) that I looked really beautiful, my clothes were so perfect for my pregnancy and that I was positively radiant! I did tell her it was probably sweat as I am incapable of taking a compliment Blush but it made me feel so special! Very kind of her and really brightened my day as I was hot and uncomfortable.

Also have a lot of door holding and polite enquiries about the baby which are lovely

A male member of staff in a department store brought me out a chair to sit on as Hubby browsed their suit collection (at considerable leisure!). I could have kissed him!

At 37 weeks, I'm now pregnant enough for strangers to smile beatifically at me as I go about my business.
