There is just something about being pregnant that makes people believe that your body is somehow up for endless discussion. How much weight have you gained? How sick have you been? What's going on in there?

This must double for people who are pregnant in the spotlight. Take Tori Roloff, star of Little People, Big World, for example. She and her husband, Zach, announced to their fans on Instagram that they're expecting their second child in November. Yep, their son, Jackson, will be big brother to a baby girl. But recently, Roloff took to Instagram again to explain some other struggles she's been dealing with this time around.

"This pregnancy has been a lot harder on me than the last," she wrote. "Don’t get me wrong — I’ve been so lucky... I'm not sick (anymore) and I haven’t had any complications (thank the lord). However I have had a harder time accepting my body this go around. I’ve gotten bigger a lot faster than I did with Jackson and I’ve become a lot more insecure. Hearing people ask me if I’m sure it’s not twins definitely does not help. (For all our sakes — don’t ever ask a woman this question. Like ever.)"

On that last point, Roloff is correct. There is no good outcome to asking a woman if she's having twins. It is a question that's irritating 100% of the time. For starters, if she is having twins and she wants you to know, you'll know. (And if she doesn't want you to know, then asking her won't be a delightful guessing game, that's for sure.)

But, most likely, if a pregnant woman hasn't told you she's having twins, she's not. Asking her if she's sure there's not a secret twin in there won't be funny. It'll only make her feel judged about her size. In fact, let's make it a blanket rule not to ever comment on women's tummies, pregnant or not.

Thankfully, Roloff seems to have other women on her Instagram backing her up. "I was asked if I was having triplets!" on commenter wrote. (To that I say: Who does that?!) "Been there sister and sending you a big hug because mama’s bodies gotta do what mama’s bodies got to do!"

"It’s incredible the stupid stuff people say," another wrote. "Now I’m shocked by nothing. Unless someone says, 'Congratulations, you’re beautiful,' don’t listen to them." Now that's a good two-sided piece of advice. Moms-to-be: Ignore the haters. Everyone else, practice saying, "Congratulations, you're beautiful," and then holding your tongue about the rest.
