I'd just gotten a new outfit I felt really cute in. Didn't wear it again for years afterward.</p> <p>And one comment from someone on the way in to LO's 2-week ped appointment. I think some folks just really don't understand how it works. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-asked-if-you-were-pregnant#post-2681294 Tue, 17 Jan 2017 10:51:57 +0000 thepicklemonster 2681294@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@yoursilverlining: this happened with our UPS guy! DS was a few weeks old, in the bassinet, and the UPS guy saw us walking and said "any minute, huh?"</p> <p>Everyone's stories are making me feel a lot better. All the mommies I've met IRL look perfect with flat bellies and I'm like, is there something wrong with me?! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-asked-if-you-were-pregnant#post-2681279 Tue, 17 Jan 2017 10:38:59 +0000 psw27 2681279@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>dear god, what is wrong with people!? I am currently 25 weeks along and my admin comments numerous times per week about how big I am getting and I want to duct tape her mouth shut. I just keep replying that I hope I have a big, huge beautiful baby boy instead of going into labor at 34 weeks like I did with DS1 so STFU lady. :shocked: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-asked-if-you-were-pregnant#post-2681244 Tue, 17 Jan 2017 09:52:48 +0000 Mrs. Dolphin 2681244@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My boss did, but only because she saw me eat a dessert and she turned to my colleague and explained "I've only ever seen her eat desserts during her two pregnancies" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-asked-if-you-were-pregnant#post-2681176 Tue, 17 Jan 2017 07:59:49 +0000 Adira 2681176@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had multiple people at work ask me when I was due, what I was having, etc. after I returned from maternity leave. Literally the first day back, one of the cafeteria ladies said something like "You haven't had that baby yet??" I got comments left and right for at LEAST 6 months. It sucked. People suck. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-asked-if-you-were-pregnant#post-2681174 Tue, 17 Jan 2017 07:56:30 +0000 ElbieKay 2681174@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ugh my MIL asked if I was "eating for two" on Sunday. No lady, I'm not and even if I was I would lie and tell you when I'm ready. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-asked-if-you-were-pregnant#post-2680996 Mon, 16 Jan 2017 16:43:26 +0000 Kimberlybee 2680996@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lemondrop: That's a great reply!

Thanks, ladies. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-asked-if-you-were-pregnant#post-2680625 Mon, 16 Jan 2017 08:46:15 +0000 BeatlesFan629 2680625@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>my grandma insisted I was pregnant last year at a family party.. Like, she wouldn't take no for an answer. She was sure I was keeping some big secret from her. It was awkward after her 5th time announcing that day "You ARE pregnant!!" Nope...still not. After I announced my actual pregnancy to her almost a full year later her first response was "See, I knew you were pregnant at Dylan's party!" Again, no...that was almost a year ago and I'm only 10 weeks now... Her response was "oh you were just REALLY bloated that day then."</p> <p>I'm 16 weeks now and had a stranger ask me this weekend when I was due. I'm still in that awkward "is she pregnant, or is that just a jiggly belly?" phase so I was kind of surprised to be asked that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-asked-if-you-were-pregnant#post-2680620 Mon, 16 Jan 2017 08:33:51 +0000 yoursilverlining 2680620@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, once. When LO was a few weeks old I brought her with me to the post office to mail some packages and the mail guy there who I’ve known for a long time asked me when I was going to have the baby. LO was literally *right there* and an infant. Needless to say, lots of tears were shed as soon as I got back out to my car. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-asked-if-you-were-pregnant#post-2680617 Mon, 16 Jan 2017 08:27:33 +0000 FaithFertility 2680617@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@erinbaderin: ouch....., </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-asked-if-you-were-pregnant#post-2680616 Mon, 16 Jan 2017 08:27:08 +0000 FaithFertility 2680616@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My BIL keeps saying I "look" pregnant whatever that means I am 12 weeks PP!<br /> I didn't drink (BF) at Thanksgiving which was like 4 weeks PP and he was convinced.....lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-asked-if-you-were-pregnant#post-2680612 Mon, 16 Jan 2017 08:19:14 +0000 cascademom 2680612@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My building's cleaning lady asked if I was pregnant thanks to my tummy being messed up since the birth of my second. I think that I later tweeted that I should go back on WW after that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-asked-if-you-were-pregnant#post-2680607 Mon, 16 Jan 2017 08:10:12 +0000 erinbaderin 2680607@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, but my friend came to visit me in the hospital the day I had B and the first thing she said to me was "I can't believe how pregnant you still look!" And this is a friend with two kids!</p> <p>My mom was a teacher and once congratulated one of her kids' parents on her pregnancy and she said she wasn't pregnant, but then a few weeks later she said she'd seen a doctor and she actually was 7 months pregnant! So I guess she saved her from a "baby on the toilet" situation. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-asked-if-you-were-pregnant#post-2680533 Sun, 15 Jan 2017 22:07:06 +0000 travellingbee 2680533@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@HappyBaker: that has to be a weird joke.

When i went to pick up my post c-section meds after DD1 the pharmacist wouldn't release them to me because I was "pregnant."<br /> My cleaning woman this time around told me that she saw our wedding photos and I was so thin and beautiful before I had babies. While I was nursing my four week old.<br /> Nobody cuts me any slack post partum!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-asked-if-you-were-pregnant#post-2680525 Sun, 15 Jan 2017 21:58:19 +0000 HappyBaker 2680525@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@oliviaoblivia: Haha same thing happened to me! We had to run to the pharmacy on the way home from the hospital and someone said "Congrats and I can't believe you are pregnant again already!" I was like seriously?! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-asked-if-you-were-pregnant#post-2680523 Sun, 15 Jan 2017 21:53:20 +0000 Ajsmommy 2680523@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup...so rude </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-asked-if-you-were-pregnant#post-2680517 Sun, 15 Jan 2017 21:26:59 +0000 mrsjd 2680517@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@oliviaoblivia: I remember seeing you tell this story before I am shocked. Every. Single. Time. What a moron. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-asked-if-you-were-pregnant#post-2680516 Sun, 15 Jan 2017 21:16:56 +0000 cat620 2680516@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This happened to me a couple times in the months after DS2 was born. I struggled to lose the baby weight after he was born, and I definitely had a round belly for several months. I hated it when strangers would ask me if I was pregnant! I told them I just had a baby, but it made me so self-conscious of my weight. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-asked-if-you-were-pregnant#post-2680493 Sun, 15 Jan 2017 20:29:42 +0000 matador84 2680493@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>ALL the TIME. Seriously, it really does look like<br /> I'm perma-Prego. Everyone from the person sacking groceries to our pedi has asked me about if I'm having a girl or boy!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-asked-if-you-were-pregnant#post-2680492 Sun, 15 Jan 2017 20:29:09 +0000 oliviaoblivia 2680492@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was asked when DD2 was hours old. I was literally waiting for DH to bring the car to take her home and someone congratulated me on my new baby and "another one soon!"<br /> Psycho. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-asked-if-you-were-pregnant#post-2680480 Sun, 15 Jan 2017 19:54:57 +0000 Mrs. Microscope 2680480@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was asked this week, and I am! And I lied! </p> <p>It was at DD's preschool, first day back after break and 3 mamas announced their pregnancy. I was congratulating one of them, and said something like "wow, seems like everyone is pregnant" and she asked if I was too. I quickly said no, though I am 8.5 wks. My first ultrasound was right after class, so I didn't even have confirmation yet. I feel bad about the lie, because once I announce I don't want her to feel bad. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-asked-if-you-were-pregnant#post-2680475 Sun, 15 Jan 2017 19:25:12 +0000 Boogs 2680475@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Bao: I've never asked anyone and never would, it's soooo rude. I don't get it.</p> <p>DH is like people are just probably trying to be nice making small talk. I'm like no, not about that for so many reasons. You talk about the weather, nice shirt, etc. Not comments on someone's stomach. smh </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-asked-if-you-were-pregnant#post-2680474 Sun, 15 Jan 2017 19:22:41 +0000 thepicklemonster 2680474@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS is 15 weeks old and I still have people thinking I'm pregnant. Even when he's with me!!! It's always women and they never apologize. It really upsets me. Like, I almost always cry :crying: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-asked-if-you-were-pregnant#post-2680471 Sun, 15 Jan 2017 19:14:16 +0000 MrsSCB 2680471@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I can't believe people ask this, unless you're CLEARLY like 45 weeks pregnant...A few people have asked my coworker recently. And while she is pregnant, she's just baaaaarely showing. She's only 14 or 15 weeks. Each time someone asks, I think, "That was bold..." I mean I know her, and I still wouldn't be sure (if I didn't already know). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-asked-if-you-were-pregnant#post-2680470 Sun, 15 Jan 2017 19:09:24 +0000 daniellemybelle 2680470@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a couple instances when people didn't outright ask but I knew that they assumed I was pregnant when I wasn't.</p> <p>Ironically I feel like people are afraid to say anything this go around so I have gotten literally a total of zero comments from strangers about being pregnant even though I am 30 weeks. </p>
