Comment from Ogden
Five-foot-one, with a 20-inch waist. Are you sure you really want that 38D bra? You must be kind of lopsided (or lopfronted).
Your poem is funny, and your moniker suits you well, Quoiky.

Thank you for your kind and funny review of my poem. Luckily, I'm no longer lauperjawed.

You're welcome, Quoiky.
Congratulations! I'm sure that lauperjaw must be awful.

Comment from Sandra du Plessis
A very well-written poem, the last month is always the hardest when we feel like a house with arms and legs waggling down the passage. When the little one is born all the suffering we endure falls away from our minds. My grandson is twenty two days old today and he is a sweet wonder.

Thank you for your kind, generous review of my poem. You're right, grandchildren are so wonderfully sweet. My oldest is 14, and my daughter-in-law is expecting twins in March 2019.

Thank you for your generous and kind review of my poem. Unfortunately, I forgot to remove my initials at the bottom of the page, so I was disqualified from the competition.
Comment from Impromptu Scribe
This is a very honest appraisal of what women have to go through without glamorising the state of motherhood. I like the two sharply contrasting initial 3-line quips about pre- and post- pregnancy bodily form. The wonder here is how much humour is still retained to the point of the subject making fun of herself despite the gargantuan physiological transformations taking place in her body. Contemporaneously funny and not funny. The subject matter is spot on for this contest. Good luck in the competition. Best wishes.

Comment from Gloria ....
Ha, a delightful poem about the physical changes in the female form during pregnancy.
You have with great aplomb achieved the parameters of the contest of being not but funny.
Very nicely written and good luck in the booths.

Comment from DonandVicki
I think husbands are always "Wowed" by their wives breast sizes when they are pregnant . The poem is funny and on point as to how women feel pregnant.

Comment from RodG
How many pregnant women can laugh at their enlarged proportions like the Speaker in this poem can? On the other hand, her complaints evoke sympathy from this male reader.
Unfortunately, some of your rhyme seems contrived--e.g.--[Be]cause my width took off on the run.
Encase and waist(?).

Comment from Mrs. KT
Oh Mystery Writer!
Definitely a winner in my book! Been there. Done that. First and only time in my life I had "pillows," as my children called them! But in the end, I would do it again as I dearly love my children, and I feel blessed to be their mother. Love the self-deprecating humor! Best Wishes!
