Is it okay to comment on a baby bump?

Is it ever okay to comment on someone’s baby bump? It’s a seemingly innocent gesture, but as one journalist found out the hard way, even the most well-intentioned comments can go horribly wrong. Imagine interviewing a major celebrity, only to be met with a sarcastic remark that leaves you questioning everything. We’re talking about the infamous Blake Lively interview that’s resurfaced after eight years, sparking a debate on whether it's ever appropriate to mention someone’s pregnancy. Joining guest host Mairead Ronan to discuss is Producer and Digital Journalist, Rebecca Horan.
