had a cyst during her first pregnancy that really grew during the entire 9 months. It was basically the same size as the baby. So we went to get some maternity clothes and the freaking sales clerk (a woman!) was like, wow you're HUGE! Is it TWINS? Are you about to go into labor?!? HOW many weeks ARE you?

She basically followed us around the store stunned that my pal apparently could walk, talk and make pruchases when encumbered by her mountainous belly...

I was mortified, but my pal had developed a very sanguine attitude at this point and just blew her off. I think I would have gone postal!

FWIW, I didn't think ehr belly was that big, or at all appropriate to comment on; especially by a maternity store clerk, I mean hadn't she seen a pregnant woman before?
