While I was ringing someone up I asked about the baby bump. She was not pregnant... but had had the baby only a couple days ago and was very nice about it.<br /> That happened so long ago but I still randomly think about it. Sometimes (and by sometimes I mean most times) it's innocent. I have never done that again, haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/got-asked-if-i-was-pregnant#post-2109027 Sat, 14 Mar 2015 23:49:54 +0000 Emilia80 2109027@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JCCovi: oh Hun I know how u feel.

Super awkward. I don't want to out myself to every Costco employee and coffee shop worker.</p> <p>Why can't they just keep it to themselves?! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/got-asked-if-i-was-pregnant#post-2108734 Sat, 14 Mar 2015 16:39:45 +0000 littlejoy 2108734@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got asked when I was holding my newborn.</p> <p>People are literally the worst ... and really stupid. </p> <p>I've always joked that I will not ask a woman if she's pregnant unless I can see the baby crowning! ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/got-asked-if-i-was-pregnant#post-2108712 Sat, 14 Mar 2015 15:56:39 +0000 Finfan 2108712@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A customer's child (he was probably 5 or 6) asked me if I had "a baby in my tummy" when I was waiting for my BFP. I said "no but I'm never wearing this shirt again."</p> <p>The mom didn't even apologize. :sad: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/got-asked-if-i-was-pregnant#post-2108707 Sat, 14 Mar 2015 15:50:28 +0000 autumnleaves 2108707@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The same thing happened to me around that time PP at Harris Teeter except it was the cashier and she asked when I was due. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/got-asked-if-i-was-pregnant#post-2108691 Sat, 14 Mar 2015 15:31:19 +0000 Mrs. Coral 2108691@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JCCovi: when I was pregnant, a receptionist at the chiropractor asked me to "heave myself on back to the exam room." I reacted the same way as you...shocked. I wish I had the wherewithal to chew her out/make her feel awful. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/got-asked-if-i-was-pregnant#post-2107970 Fri, 13 Mar 2015 20:45:29 +0000 sandy 2107970@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yes and it sucked for everyone - they felt so awful when i told them what happened </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/got-asked-if-i-was-pregnant#post-2107951 Fri, 13 Mar 2015 20:21:31 +0000 snowjewelz 2107951@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@oliviaoblivia: that is just messed up! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/got-asked-if-i-was-pregnant#post-2107924 Fri, 13 Mar 2015 20:03:21 +0000 turquoisemama 2107924@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep I'm 7 weeks PP too and the ladies at the nail salon asked me when my due date was... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/got-asked-if-i-was-pregnant#post-2107922 Fri, 13 Mar 2015 20:02:56 +0000 Reese 2107922@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JCCovi: What an IDIOT. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/got-asked-if-i-was-pregnant#post-2107914 Fri, 13 Mar 2015 19:52:41 +0000 JCCovi 2107914@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: @oliviaoblivia: at least I didn't have my baby with me! That would have really irked me!</p> <p> @avivoca: @Mrs. Coral: at the time I was more shocked that he'd said it then hurt, but afterwards it started bumming me out and I wished I'd started crying or something to make him feel bad. Very mature I know! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/got-asked-if-i-was-pregnant#post-2107905 Fri, 13 Mar 2015 19:47:10 +0000 Foodnerd81 2107905@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Someone congratulated me on having another one on the way, while I was walking with my 13 day old baby. It was just so wrong it was funny. </p> <p>(At least, it was funnier than when people asked me before I was ever pregnant!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/got-asked-if-i-was-pregnant#post-2107892 Fri, 13 Mar 2015 19:39:21 +0000 Mrs. Coral 2107892@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm sorry!

I got asked the same thing while holding my day old baby in the hospital. It's shocking how dumb people can be. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/got-asked-if-i-was-pregnant#post-2107885 Fri, 13 Mar 2015 19:35:54 +0000 avivoca 2107885@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm so sorry.

I thought this was the #1 question everyone knows not to ask. Thank you random bagger at Harris Teeter for making me feel even worse during a time when it's hard to feel pretty. :( </p>
