have you ever asked someone if they were pregnant, and turns out that they aren't???
Published Oct. 9, 2008I'm only asking because this happens to ME quite often, to the point where I'm coming up with humiliating responses to the offenders. Its not that I'm fat, but I'm not stick thin either; some women HAVE CURVES!!!!! I have a 2 year old son (thats part of the "pregnancy problem") and have a pretty lazy job at a bank which requires me to sit on my butt everyday.
Are you guilty of doing this? Do you even apologize for the mistake? I have never asked a woman that I wasn't 100% sure on, but now I just don't ask.
Ladies....has this ever happened to you? What do you say? My co-workers are amazed that I say anything back and laugh every time they hear me respond to someone. My favorite response is: "I'm not pregnant, I'm just fat, thank you though!" Its just kinda aggravating that peope don't think OR look before they open their mouths.

Now that she's taller than I and just short of 15, I don't get asked that anymore.
It did annoy me when adults did it, but I mostly got it from young school-aged kids to whom gray hair = grandparent.
For the record, I don't think either 37 or 42 is old to have a baby. Heck, when people see me playing with little kids, they ask me if *I* want another one. I'm sorry, but 50 IS too old to have a baby, at least for me. If someone else wants to do that, more power to her.

A lot of times a woman's breast will get bigger, and people think she is pregnant.
Some say they can tell just by looking at their face.
