I've suspected correctly several times but NEVER said anything until it was announced. Even though one of the women was visibly showing and well into her 2nd trimester before she announced it! I just kept my eyes up and pretended like I didn't see anything. purrpletulips on "If you can't figure out if a woman is pregnant, do you say anything?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-cant-figure-out-if-a-woman-is-pregnant-do-you-say-anything#post-176235 Fri, 01 Jun 2012 12:39:09 +0000 purrpletulips 176235@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I usually ignore it. However, one time I said something to a co-worker because of the type of shirt she was wearing (starting wearing empire waist/baby doll type shirts when she hadn't before) she denied it but then announced later that she was expecting. The timing means when I asked she was pregnant just not telling folks but I'll never do that again, I felt so embarrassed when she said no.

I told a handful of people, but these were people who I don't interact with much, so I was a little surprised they were so blunt since I'm only 14.5 weeks and just now starting to show. I never say anything unless I know they are pregnant. If I think they might be, I might try to talk about babies or something to get them to say something but unless I'm 100% sure, I wouldn't risk it. mediagirl on "If you can't figure out if a woman is pregnant, do you say anything?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-cant-figure-out-if-a-woman-is-pregnant-do-you-say-anything#post-175477 Thu, 31 May 2012 21:21:58 +0000 mediagirl 175477@https://boards.hellobee.com/ No way. The vet we saw a few weekends ago was pregnant but I didn't want to say anything. Finally she said something so I could mention it. :-) singingbee on "If you can't figure out if a woman is pregnant, do you say anything?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-cant-figure-out-if-a-woman-is-pregnant-do-you-say-anything#post-175256 Thu, 31 May 2012 19:19:24 +0000 singingbee 175256@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I ignore it. My mom had a friend that looked like she was 7 months pregnant all the time, no matter how much she exercised or dieted. She hated people asking her if she was pregnant. lavender on "If you can't figure out if a woman is pregnant, do you say anything?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-cant-figure-out-if-a-woman-is-pregnant-do-you-say-anything#post-175249 Thu, 31 May 2012 19:15:29 +0000 lavender 175249@https://boards.hellobee.com/ No way!

I really wouldn't want to make that mistake. I've heard crazy stories talking to my friends about people who have mistaken them as pregnant when they clearly are not! Not even close to having a bloated bump. I'll always smile at someone who is very pregnant and if it's someone I know then they'll usually talk about their pregnancy first.

I always get “feelings” about people and cannot rest until they’re confirmed (and I’m almost always right!) so I’ve found lots of creative ways to draw the news out haha. Or you can always watch to see if the bump grows lol. chopsuey on "If you can't figure out if a woman is pregnant, do you say anything?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-cant-figure-out-if-a-woman-is-pregnant-do-you-say-anything#post-175095 Thu, 31 May 2012 18:15:15 +0000 chopsuey 175095@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Nope!!
