"Oh, you're pregnant?" *forehead smack*


I went to a meeting this evening and had THREE people look at me with a surprised look on their faces and say "oh, you're pregnant?"

I know people are super careful about being offensive, but it's pretty darn obvious to me...especially since these are people who see me all the time!

What do you all think?

I'm trying to decide if I should be offended that they may just think I always look like that?

Lol, it's very obvious that you're pregnant!

It happened to me today too. I'm in college and I ran into a girl after class in the bathrooms and she said "Um......are you pregnant?" I wanted to say "DO YOU HAVE TO ASK!??!" No, really I wasn't offended or anything but I just want to know what other people see!! How can they not be sure?!

This happened to me too. I was talking to a woman at a party, I was standing, she was sitting so she was eye level at my belly. A friend of mine came up and made some comment about my pregnancy. She said "Oh are you pregnant?" And I was like SERIOUSLY LADY, I'm 112 pounds with a sack of yukon gold potatoes under my shirt! YES I'M PREGNANT!

I tend to answer by looking horrified and saying 'no I am NOT! How dare you?' Just to see their reaction

Oh, that's FANTASTIC. Love this response. I wish I had thought to say that last night, they'd have been horrified!
