I swear I'm just bloated...
So at my job the women here seem to be popping bellies overnight! We now have 3 pregnant woman. I really think it's in the water. But now I'm the odd woman out. I'm the only one in the office that doesn't have a child. They all keep asking me "so when are you going to try and pop one out?" The answer is not for at least another 2 or 3 years. I'm only 21 sure my husband and I have been married for 2 years and together for 5 but we're still young and have a lot to experience as a couple first. But now...(this is the best part), I'm a little bloated. I just had my birth control pill changed b/c I was gaining a little too much weight for my liking. Any way we switched mid-cycle so I'm a little irregular at the moment making me a little more bloated than usual. Guess what everyone is keep tabs on. I swear I'm just bloated.

I agree with sessions, that's just plain rude!
I'm 23, recently married, and am in the same boat as you. Everyone keeps asking me when I'm going to start having children as if this wedding ring signifies the end of my youth and the start of motherhood. Don't get me wrong, I do want to have children - but I want to enjoy being married and have a strong marriage before starting to have children.
I completely agree with the both of you. It's just rude. That's a good point too, how people just automatically assume that you're going to try and start having babies as soon as the ring gets on your finger. Yes I'm married but normal people like to enjoy marriage without children first. That way you get to know each other better. The nerve of some people lol.
Sorry I had a little rant there
But yes, I've heard it time and time again... I was married in November and I'm young (about to turn 22). DH and I both want to finish school first because we would have NO time for a child (heck, we can't even get a dog because I feel like it'd be neglected). We work full time during the day and are full time students. Our friends and family know that, and yet seem to ask when we're having kids. It really annoys me because we LOVE kids and are so eager to be parents but we're also realistic. We don't have time or money! Ugh!
THIS! How offensive.
No matter how old you are. . . it is truly none of their business.
I am a late married woman (married at 29) so I stop telling people I was not feeling very well. Just keep it to myself now.
My cousin just got married in October and ANYTIME she posts on FB about not feeling well, at least 5 people comment "pregnant?!" "preggo?" "baby!!?" ... I feel bad because it's ridiculous
I am on like 3 separate medications that can cause nausea, and every single time I mention that I'm nauseated my mom and DH both think I might be pregnant, lol.

THIS. I work for a member of the Virginia Legislature, and they're in Session from January to March. It's extremely long hours and a lot of being on our feet. So one day after a 14 hour day I get in the elevator and made a comment to a friend that my feet hurt. She's like...ohhh you must be pregnant! Um. No.
