Are you pregnant comebacks

I saw this on another board and I was wondering what comebacks you guys have.  I hate this question and always wished I had something good to reply with.

Re: Are you pregnant comebacks

  • I don't really get asked except by close friends who know we are trying, so I don't have any, but today if someone asked I would probably cry.
    Me: 26 DH: 32

  • Ha!  We're TTC but haven't told people. 

    I'm a huge smarta$$ so when people that are close to me have said things like "well, maybe you're pregnant!!!" I come back and say, "No, I'm just fat, but thanks for reminding me!!!"  Like I said, i'm a huge smarta$$. 

     For others, I just say "why, do you want to babysit?" and laugh with a smile.

  • now, i know i am slightly overweight, but i would never in a million years describe myself as looking pregnant.  

    last summer i was working at a yoga festival with a friend.  and this random woman just asked me if i was pregnant.  i was so embarrased and said "no, im just fat" and then ran away, cried, and got ben and jerries.  

    i NEVER feel comfortable asking if someone is pregnant until they are CLEARLY like 8 months pregnant.  you never know!  they could have just HAD the baby and their stomach is still a little big (this happened to a woman in an exercise class i took--she walked in, the instructor asked when she was due, and she said "i had the baby 3 weeks ago...")  it is really rude to ask.  i am STILL scared by that woman asking me last summer. 

  • I would never ask someone if they were unless it was very obvious or I know them and I know they are pregnant. I am alittle overweight and very short 5'0 to be exact and I carry all my weight in my stomach so one time at my nail place (it was my first time going there) the nail lady said "when baby due?" I said "never...I'm not pregnant". Horrible, but if that's not motivation to loose weight, I don't know what is.

  • People are so rude.... I would punch someone if they said that to me.

    I read an article by Dave Barry once that basically said never ask a women if she's pregnant unless you see a baby coming out of her body.  Great rule to live by...

    I got asked in HS if I was pregnant.  Talk about morale booster.  Granted, I was wearing an apron over a baggy shirt, but biscuits and gravy, I was 15! Now I respond similary to moleson w/ thanks for reminding me that I need to lose weight...

  • I haven't had any adults ask if I was pregnant but the day I came back from the HM, half my kids asked if I was. A simple "no" worked just fine for them.

  • I've gotten asked this question in the past because I wasn't drinking. I just stopped drinking...sometimes I like to do that. Well, it got all my friends in an uproar of if I was pregnant or not...yikes!

    Anniversary
  • People can be so rude!  Sheesh!  I'm not looking forward to the holiday celebration with DH's family.  Everyone comes in from all over the U.S. and I know there will be many questions about when we're going to have a baby.  I've yet to come up with a good response other than "we're never going to have children".  I had a hysterectomy because of health issues (Stage IV Endometriosis) a few years ago (forced...definitely NOT wanted).  Ughhhhhhhhhh

    If someone asks me if I AM pregnant, I may just go off!  Although, tears and a "No' would probably suffice!  LOL

  • Aside from people saying, "Maybe you're pregnant" if I complain about being sick or moody or something, I've only had one person ask me if I'm pregnant.  I was wearing a babydoll-type sweater and I honestly didn't think I looked pregnant in it, but I wanted to cry, then go home and change.  Instead I was stuck at work all day wondering if everyone else thought I looked pregnant.  It was a really nice sweater, and I liked it a lot, but I haven't worn it since.

    When the guy asked, I couldn't be rude because he was an older gentleman, so I just smiled and said no.

  • Haven't been asked yet but I know a few of the note cards we received in our basket at our dinner asked "so, are kids, next?"...."hope you and James have babies". Hello, we want babies but don't give my uterus a schedule.

  • When I was pregnant and showing--I was working at the firm at that time and I was just a few weeks from maternity leave, the Fed Ex guy came in and was like-- "Oh you're having a baby?!" and I came back with "nope, just got hungry and ate up a basketball. Here's your sign."

     

    it was a good moment in history.
