I don't care if your wife has had a baby too...it doesn't make it more comfortable for me and it doesn't make you an expert. To play it extra safe...maybe just don't use the above words ever at the workplace.
I think in the last 2 years I have heard all of the above...in office place conversations. Weird, right?
The above pix are from my first go round. Poor baby#2...no belly shots have been taken yet. Gotta get on that...

Too funny and too true! Some people can be so awkward. And funny that you haven't taken belly shots yet - #2 is a lot different, isn't it?
please add to the list of inapropriate things to say: are you sure you aren't having twins? how much weight have you gained? wow you look ready to pop (at 6 months)! and why does everyone feel compelled to tell their labor horror story (or non horror story for that matter)when I didn't ask??? I get it, I know you went through it, your child is the evidence...It truly is amazing that these things need to be pointed out...
I had a male co-work almost push on my pertruding belly button. I reacted pretty quickly and responded with "don't you dare!". And then there is a woman who asks me daily "are you ready to go?"...she started asking just 6months into my pregnancy. I'd like to punch her in the face. Most people are idiots.
