People Never Have Anything Positive To Say

Have you ever noticed people's tendency to make only (or mostly) negative comments when they hear that someone is pregnant?

"You must be getting so uncomfortable."
"You're getting bigger so fast!"
"You'll never sleep again."
"Say goodbye to your freedom."
"Your body will never recover."
"You're having joint pain? That will last forever, now."
"I hope you like the sound of screaming."
"Get used to it (whatever uncomfortable thing you're experiencing)."

Do they think this is somehow...helpful? Do they think they're clever? Or...are they begging me to run them down with my car?
