10 Things You Should Never Say To Your Pregnant Wife | HuffPost Life

"I hope she looks like me."

By

Senior Reporter, HuffPost Life

Danielle Murray is no stranger to pregnancy. Having carried four children, she's experienced the good, the bad and the ugly of carrying a baby.

To give a glimpse into the less-than-pleasant aspects of pregnancy, Danielle and her husband Jon created a new comedy video for the mom-centric YouTube channel Awestruck. Titled "Top 10 Things To Never Say To Your Pregnant Wife," the video offers some advice to parenting partners -- like, don't comment on your baby mama's appearance, don't tell her to stop moving around in bed, and don't talk about your own nausea and cravings.

Basically, don't do what the guy in this video does.
