I agree! It's really not a cool thing to ask. When we were ttc for so long, I had a co-worker who asked me that whenever I saw him. It made me want to strangle him and cry at the same time. After going through this, I will never ever ask anyone when they're having kids, are you pg, etc.

The twins thing is crazy too. I have a friend on FB who was super slim, so she popped really early in pregnancy. Even other moms kept asking if she was having two - even though she put ultrasound pics of just one and everything! I felt bad for her every time I read those comments.

I think a lot of people ask it, not realizing how serious the question is-- just like people who ask couples if/when they're going to get married, asking kids about school, etc. WHat can be a sore subject for some doesn't translate to all. Not to mention, most people are really polite in their responses, so I don't think the "guilty" parties will ever realize that they're being rude.

There was a cashier in the grocery store the other day that leaned forward and said "Congratulations. How far along are you?" I told her way to early for her to ask. Then she said oh this must be your second one, "I showed faster with the 2nd one too".

This is my first pregnancy. I'm 10wks. I let it go since she was easily 70yrs old and she was coming from a good place. Plus I do look like I'm much farther along for some reason.

people just don't know better. or maybe THEY have baby brain.

I had a stranger (guy) ask me one time if I was pregnant. Which I replied to 'No". Then he continued on to say "are you sure?".... Seriously!! I couldn't believe it. He would not drop the subject! It was horrible!! I was so thankful when he left the store.

I will never ever ask any one if they are pregnant. Even if they super look it. I just won't go there.
