Don't ask a 9 1/2 month pregnant woman how she is feeling unless you really want to get an ear full. If you get the "oh, I'm doing great! Everything is wonderful" response, just realize what you just heard was a bunch of lies.
What she really wants to say is that everything is swollen- holding small things such as pencils, cups, or even the hair brush hurts her hands. (this picture is of my wedding ring, which once did fit on my finger)

Her feet no longer resemble a foot- rather, it looks like she has fat caterpillars (not that hairy ones at least) attached to flippers at the end of her legs. She is aching in places she didn't know she could ache. Her hips have now spread so far apart, the waddle is no longer the "joke" she thought it would be that lovely place called 2 months ago, but rather how she gets from place to place. A rash has taken up residency on her appendages that itches like crazy, and no, she doesn't feel the least bit pretty.
So rather then ask "how are you feeling" just give all 9 1/2 month pregnant woman a compliment, because you know what, they need it.
