That's what an older gentleman said to me (now 7 months pregnant) while I was on the elliptical machine yesterday. He was joking, of course, but I still wish I had a better comeback than "not yet, at least!". haha
I get a lot of funny looks while at the gym, but that's the first time someone has said anything to me.

@BabyBoecksMom: Awww, I think he was some sweet old man who wanted to talk to a beautiful pregnant woman.

Haha I was buying beer for my husband once while I was pregnant & an old guy (jokingly) said, "Umm, you know you can have that, right?"
I think men like pregnant women just as much as other women, they just don't have anything relatable to say.

Haha! He was just trying to be silly. Old men can be so corny sometimes!
I joke with people when they post challenges on FB about losing inches. Latest one said to lose about 8 inches by Easter! I joked with them and said that I'll beat them all, and they can go ahead and get my prize ready.

I took a body pump class with a woman who was more than 8 months pregnant (and using about the same weight as me!). The instructor made a few jokes about how no one was allowed to go into labor during class. I hope she was OK with it but she seemed to think it was funny.
@Dandelion: LOL. You win.

OMG, old men *love* pregnant women (I mean that in a sweet, non-gross kind of way). I got so much attention from older men when I was pregnant - they all wanted to tell me their misty-eyed stories from when their wives were pregnant and their babies were young. It's really cute, I think.

That old guy just wanted to throw a line to a pregnant woman to start a conversation. Or maybe he was not aware that you are pregnant (just kidding).

Cute. I would get crazy looks from people when I lugged my big belly onto the treadmill
