God *help* you if you say 'congratulations' and congratulations are *not* in order. Unless you know her well, do *not* ask about the baby's daddy."
Once I was in a group of people and there was a couple and the young wife looked about 5 months pregnant. I wisely kept my mouth shut (just in case), but another guy asked when the happy day was going to be. Her and her husband's faces dropped and her husband softly explained that they had just had a stillborn full term baby about 3 weeks before and they were still in mourning. It was a pretty awful moment. Always best to keep quiet until the woman mentions that she is pregnant.
