I wait for people to mention their pregnancy first because I once asked a woman how many weeks she had left and she said -4...she gave birth the month before. She gave me the side eye and now I'm afraid to ask...

Yeah I definitely do not ask unless they have brought it up or someone else has told me. Hear too many stories of people getting burned lol.
When I first started my job I was POSITIVE the girl who was training me was KU... I mean who rubs their belly that way if they're not preggo! But, I held my tongue (except to DH, lol) and waited until she said something. She had her little guy beginning of Dec.
-
I definitely don't say anything! I'm to scared of getting burned. I always wait for them to bring it up. With my luck, the poor gal just carries weight in her stomach...
-
I never say anything unless it's very, very obvious
-
I think it's best never to say a word. I had a woman in the grocery store, a month ago, mention that I looked like I was "ready to pop" and that it "was going to be any day now". Meanwhile I was 6 months along. So I told her I wasn't pregnant at all, just to make her feel like a turd lol.
There's just nothing really appropriate to say anyway.
-
I'm definitely scared to ask! Plus I was taught it's rude! So until they bring it up, I don't say anything!!
-
I never ask unless it's super obvious

Better to safe than sorry! I'd only ask a super duper close friend that won't be offended!

@LMOG47: Honest to god, I think I look 20 weeks preggo or something since I gained weight. I have THE WORST belly pooch ever, always have, but it's so much worse now. The only good thing is that it will be harder for people to figure out when I do get KU, lol.
-
@junebugmama: LOL!
-
@junebugmama: LOL that's hysterical!
My sister was in grad school when she was pregnant with her first and ended up being alone in an elevator with her professor. She was clearly pregnant (otherwise a very thin girl with a 6 month belly) but they had never discussed it, so her professor asked when she's due. She looked at him stone faced (which she's so good at) and said "I'm not pregnant". She let him flounder for a few seconds and then she burst out laughing. It was a joke, and he laughed, but I bet he thinks twice before asking now!
-
Yeah I definitely stay quiet until I am 100% sure!
-
Yeah. I figure "when are you due," "when do you plan to have kids," and "are you planning on having any more" (along with any other questions relating to a person's uterus) deserve to be topics only discussed if a person raises them about themself.
-
@junebugmama: Ahaha! I would've loved to see her reaction.
I don't comment on it unless it's super obvious and I especially don't say anything related to the women's body. If it's rather obvious I might say "when is your little one due?" with a smile but that's about it.
-
@coopsmama: the teenage cashier had the best look on her face of all and then said "that was so awkward" After the woman left I told her I was actually pregnant but still in my 2nd tri and I thought it was rude what she said. The cashier said I made her month LOL
-
I pretty much don't mention it, but I do offer my seat on the train, which still has potential to be awkward.
When I was pregnant, I met someone at a conference who I was almost positive was pregnant, but I wasn't about to say anything. But when she asked me where the bathroom was, I told her and rubbed my belly and said something about "I make enough trips there, I should know" and that was HER opening to ask me about it.
-
@junebugmama: Oh man, I have always wanted to do that, but then I feel bad and get too scared... hahaha
Yeah, I definitely wait until I know for sure. I've seen people look at me and try to figure it out, so I'm glad no one has actually said anything to me when I wasn't pregnant!!
-
I carry most of my extra weight in my belly and have been asked when I was due when I wasn't pregnant, so I never ask or say anything until they bring it up.
-
I would never ask. Doesn't seem polite and I'm too scared of offending someone that isn't.
-
@autumnlove: This happened to me last weekend! The girl said she gave birth 5 weeks ago. She was a b*tch to me the whole rest of the night. Well gees.... she walked around holding her belly the whole night. Her fault...
-
I don't even ask when it's super obvious. I'm paranoid because of my friends experience with a term mc, I just won't say a word.
-
I have had too many people ask me when I was not pregnant and desperately wanting to be. It was awful every time. I don't ask anyone.
-
I never ask, I was asked once, actually twice in the same day. For rid of that unflattering shirt after that lol!
-
I almost never ask ... even if it seems obvious. You never know!
