I also learned never to say that to a pregnant woman...

Wise man.
Reminds me of a story some comedian told on the radio a while back. His wife was six months pregnant and he was taking some time off of his usual road schedule to help out with more things at home.
One day he spent several hours doing chores outside the house and running errands. Every time he came through the living room his wife was lying on the couch napping. This went on all day. When he came in late in the afternoon with the dinner he'd picked up somewhere and she was STILL lying on the couch napping, he got a little irritated.
Trying but failing to keep the peevishness out of his voice, he started running down the list of all the things he'd accomplished that day - cutting the grass, sweeping out the garage, getting the oil changed on the cars, et cetera, et cetera. "And," he added, "I also picked up some dinner while I was out. What did
you do today?"
"I made your son a kidney," his wife answered.
So he shut up and set the table.
