So, I knew that once you get married people often start asking when you are going to start trying to get pregnant. What I wasn't prepared for was the alarming frequency that people would ask me IF I was pregnant.
Me: I'm hungry.
Them: Are you pregnant?!
Me: I'm tired.
Them: Are you pregnant?!
Me: *Being forgetful*
Them: Are you pregnant?!
Come on people! I can't wait to have kids but we haven't even been married 3 months yet! Sheesh!
I had this happen on my honeymoon, when I felt faint in the heat at Citchen Itza in Mexico. I just hadn't had enough water and it had been a long time since breakfast.
LOL. When I was a kid I used to do that to my mom because I always said I wanted another sibling so anytime she'd complain about some ailment I'd say, 'Maybe you're pregnant!' She used to get soooo annoyed so now I am getting it back tenfold. 'Mom, I have this funny bruise on my arm...' Mom says, 'Maybe you're pregnant!' Haha. Also, I've gained a few pounds post wedding and a coworker spotted some prenatal vitamins in my desk drawer so now everyone is convinced I am preggers. I'm like, 'Nope, sorry! Just been eating too much!' It does get a little out of control though!
seriously i know what you mean, i had a sore shoulder the other day and my FMIL was like are you pregnant? do you need to go to the emergency room to be safe? i am like OMG no. lol
I had the SAME girl ask me TWICE (about a year apart but still) if I was pregnant. And not because she was curious, because she thought I looked like I was. I went off on her - told her if she asked the first time and I was obviously upset about why in the world would you ask again? She said now that I was married she thought I wanted kids and was pregnant. Yes I want kids, but not now! Its my "food baby" shes seeing :)
My friend and I do that to each other all the time though (asking if the other is pregnant from a symptom), jokingly of course!
ha this happened to me on my honeymoon too. I was feeling sick (because I had a UTI) and random people working at the restaurant we were at asked me if I was pregnant already! The nerve!
Wow...people have a lot of nerve. My Mom just says to wait until after she's 40. lol. She's 38 now, I think I'll have a year after the wedding before I start getting crap from her.
@ naangel55 -- haha, next time she asks, you should say "yes, I'm expecting a food baby. It should arrive around 7:30 or so this evening..." I bet that'll stop her in her tracks!
We got engaged after only being together about 7 months and that was all people would seem ask. Haha. Not even a "Have you set a date?" It was always a *quite wisper* "So...are you...uh...pregnant?" I can only imagine how annoy that is!!
Yes, its awful! i had a huge hangover on monday and when i said i felt nauteous everyone was on pins and needles waiting for someone else to break the ice and ask... so annoying
oh my something like that happened to me too!..
this lady that used to be my in-laws neighbor that i had never met came up to me and touched my belly and said oh my are you expecting? lol i was like umm noo i'm just fat.. i couldn't stop laughing yet it was embarassing.. oh well.. teaches her to stop touching random peoples bellies asking if they're pregnant! lol
@future.mrs.tamez-I get that. Customers sometimes come in. I admit I have a belly, and my apron makes it look even worse (as do sun dresses) so I get "when are you due" every now and then.
I said I was cold one day when we were working outside (it was below freezing out) and this girl I worked with said 'you know I feel like you've been making comments on feeling cold or hot, I think you are pregnant' to which I sort of laughed and said 'yeah maybe there was a honeymoon baby' (being a bit sarcastic) to which she said 'you know couples that have a baby in their first year of marriage are really likely to get divorced'
WHAT do you say to that?! I don't even know if I responded or just moved my focus elsewhere.
bvig- Oh my gosh, that is so rude!
I have gotten it a few times and need a snappy response. Any ideas?
So sorry, it's really annoying when people do that! Lately when I'm around family if I say anything like I don't feel good or I don't have a stomachache, they also ask me if I might be pregnant. We were at a family party like 2 months ago when some of my family saw my sister for the first time after she said she was pregnant again. Then, one of my cousins asked my aunt in a drunken whisper if i was pregnant because I apparently looked like I was 
My aunt told her no and that it was just the style of dress I was wearing. Still, though, as soon as we got in the car I asked the hubby if I looked pregnant and/or fat in that dress...darn that cousin, though, it so made me feel fat!
I'm not a newlywed yet, but had to post! My fiance and I have a friend who is AWFUL about this. I kid you not everytime I see her she asks if I'm pregnant. I have a small bladder so I go potty at her house a lot and EVERY time she smirks and asks if I'm expecting - it was funny at first but now it's kinda getting on my nerves. I know once we do wed it will only get worse. We don't plan on having kids right away and to be honest her constant asking if I am is taking away some of my excitement of telling people about it once it actually does happen. That and if we do start trying and are having difficulities conceiving I'm gonna be crushed when I have to answer that question constantly. I know she means no harm - but seriously!
At least no one has done that to me but I know how you feel. We have so many people asking when we are going to have babies. Thankfully, my dad is not among them (they didn't have me until their 30s so we got some time!)
seriously! I went to brunch and a free drink came with the meal - I ordered orange juice since I am not so into mimosas or bloody mary's. I almost ordered an alocholic beverage just to avoid the looks!! Its like I can't even go to a meal without having sushi or wine to get everyone off my back....
The night that we got engaged, the group of guys sitting at the table next to us asked when we are going to have kids...I just looked at them puzzled and said - after we get married! A bunch of people have asked us that as well. Whatever happened to when are you going to get married?
Janna- I get the same thing. It is much worse since I am on a medicine where I should try to avoid alcohol. Uggh!
One of my friends says to never ask a woman if she's pregnant unless you see the baby coming out of her. LOL.
My response to the question is always, "No, are you?" That works pretty well.
LOL, better than "hmmmm...your pants are tight. Are you pregnant?"
I'm sure it'll be obvious once I stop drinking at all our family get-togethers....i always have a beer or glass of wine. Poo.
True story: i was a lifeguard almost 7 years ago and I had just had a big bloaty, salty, fried chicken tender lunch. And we wear those stupid fanny packs. Well, some old ladies came up and asked me if i was pregnant. I was 17, so i just said no and almost cried. Now if someone said that to me, i'd find a not so nice way to let them know they're being rude.
@hellohello - you made me laugh!
My mom is on my case EVERY SINGLE DAY. I don't lie...we've been married now for 2 years and I hear about how old I'm getting (I'm 29) and how my biological clock is ticking, and how I shouldn't be an "old mom".
@hellohello - That was hilarious!
@EJS - Me too. I'm going to get busted so fast when we start trying/I'm pregnant! My youngest sister actually noticed that our cousin wasn't drinking at my wedding and sure enough, there will be a new little one in our family come April! I couldn't believe she was that observant! There will be no secrets from my family...
Love this. Right after we got married we went to Chicago to visit family and run the marathon. I was a little sick going into, but after I was done I was full on sick with the flu. We were staying with hubby's family and so everyone could see that I was tired and throwing up. They all thought I was pregnant.
oh my, I'm very sensitive to this...I've gained weight since the wedding, and I get asked if I'm pregnant pretty often :( I'm working full time and just finished a weekend masters, so you would think it's understandable I gained weight! I know I've gained 20 lbs since the wedding, but I was down about 10 pounds from my "normal" weight boo (I'm about 10% over the top of my BMI target.)
I just graduated on Saturday, so I guess it is time to cut back on the caffeinated drinks and up my exercise (usually do 3x/week already tho)
AHH! I looked pregnant this past weekend in my sisters wedding b/c the dress was very unforgiving and I was extremely constipated/bloated. But I was chugging beers and champaigne (hence the bloating) so I don't think anyone suspected ;)
I wrote on my facebook that I was craving gingersnaps a few weeks ago and got all sorts of pregnant inquiries. I was like "no I just have a sweet tooth!"
I know everyone is interested, but I wouldn't mind the laying off too. Even if I do decide to TTC tomorrow, it's not your business!
OMG lately EVERYONE is asking us when we're going to have kids....if I'm pregnant yet...it's our 1 year anniversary next week...a few sundays ago at church THREE different people asked me if I was pregnant yet...ONE came up and touched my stomach and said...any news?? OMG we're not even trying people!!!!
And yes like tisty1982 said....it'd be sooooo horrible if we started trying and had issues conceiving. People seriously need to be sensitive on that topic cuz I personally know a few people who have been trying for a few years with no success. I can't imagine what it must be like to have random people come up to them and ask if they're pregnant yet....
ARGH!!!
ugh, i feel ya! these are my recent favorites
me- my hair is frizzy today
them- are you pregnant?
me- man, my toe really hurts
them - are you pregnant?
me- hmmm... looks like i missed a spot shaving!
them - are you pregnant?
me- your pissing me off
them - are you pregnant?
Oh yeah, I feel your pain! I'm not even married yet, but fiance and I have lived together several years now. Any time I mention to my mom I was sick (from having a cold to when I got overheated when we were moving in 100* heat last year) she asks if I'm pregnant.
The pregnant question is one thing I am NOT looking forward hearing after the wedding. I am in my early 30's and both sides of the family have been watching my biological clock intently for me. My FI's step mom even went as far as reminding me over dinner once about the risks of pregnancy in my 30's. As if there wasn't enough discussion about it in the news/internet/radio, etc.
I used to be able to defer to finishing graduate school and getting married first. I finished graduate school last year so I am not sure what to defer to after the wedding. My sister already told me that she has began packing up unused toys and clothes of my niece and nephew to give me...sheesh!
I have gotten, "Are you pregnant yet?" four times this week! I haven't gained any weight either. So tired of people asking.
I don't get it too often but when I do I just laugh at them and say not for another few years. They usually remember and don't ask again.
At least they waited until you were married! FH's family wants grandkids so badly, they asked about it the first time I met them!
a friend of the family asked my mil if i was pregnant b/c my husband and i were acting very lovey dovey. ummm.... no. i'm a newly wed.
