What if you ask a woman if she’s pregnant and she’s not?

If that happens you MUST give some sort of compliment to override the original pregnancy question. However DO NOT by any means overdo the compliments because then it would be obvious you are trying to cover something up!

Yes. I asked my sister in law!! oops!

I have asked… and I’ve been asked. Both horrible positions. :/

I’ve never done this but if it were to happen I guess just tuck your tail between your legs and prepare to be slapped.

If I did make a mistake and ask a non-pregnant woman how far along she is, I would back peddle by Lying. I would tell her that so and so (someone I did not care for) told me she was pregnant, but I didn’t think so because she looked too small 😉

yes, and at that point, the woman should realize obesity is unhealthy, and should maybe get a little bit more exercise

I’d try and play it off and say oh you are just glowing!!! Unless you touched the belly.. Then you’re screwed lol

No, I haven’t. I witnessed a non-pregnant coworker being asked this once, and I could tell she was mortified afterwards. My rule of thumb is don’t assume a woman is pregnant unless she tells you so, or she’s giving birth.

I would just say “Oh, sorry,” mutter something about my sister being pregnant, and I think it’s pretty, and leave.

I got asked if I was pregnant once by kids in church. I also got asked how come you’re not married by kids in church. I know that kids don’t have the mental capacity particularly young kids to realize that you don’t ask or give such statements to people. But that doesn’t mean that their parents couldn’t try and teach them to have a bit more tact around people.

I was embarrassed because it made me feel like the adults in church were talking behind my back and their kids were repeating what their parents were talking about.

rude much!

I did once and it was embarrassing when she said she isn’t…..I just diverted the convo.

Well, probably grin and say something like “It’s just that so many young beautiful women like yourself are pregnant these days!”

And walk away awkwardly.

Yes, God help me. I never did it again. I had just met my sister in law to be. My fiancee had been telling me about his family and that she and her husband were coming to his house for the barbeque we had planned. He talked about how much she was in love with her husband, blah, blah, blah, I must have misunderstood what he said, or he was putting me on, which he did a lot of the time, one of the reasons we are not married or together in anyway. I cannot remember what he said exactly, but it led me to believe his sister was pregnant. I was introduced and she was tall and slim, but a pretty large protruding belly. I asked her when the blessed event was. The look she gave me before she told me off, well, I wanted to crawl inside the wall, or run or something. carol a

it happened to me

Yes. At the Clothes Show live there is a section where u can buy prams and this lady was looking at a really cute pink one so i asked her when it was due.

she looked at me in disgrace and her husband just said, “she just needs to hit the gym”

No, but I almost did. I ran into an old friend I hadn’t seen for a couple of years and she looked very pregnant, round stomach, no apparent weight gain anywhere else. I was about to ask when she was due when she told me that a customer had asked her a few days before if she was having a boy or girl, and she said she wasn’t even pregnant. I dodged a bullet on that one!

I have and she was nice about it and told me no she was just fat! I felt sooo bad but in my defense everytime I had seen her before she had actually been pregnant. (She had her children back to back)

I’ve never asked that question, but someone asked my mum about me. I was suffering depression at the time, and gained quite a bit of weight, people thought I was pregnant…

Well if you a guy just follow it by. I love big woman.
If you a female just say your glowing that is why I had to ask.

A woman in a grocery store asked me that not long after having a baby. I replied, “No, I’m just fat.” I’d imagine she learned not to ask that question.

I’ve never made that mistake but if I had I’d probably just apologize profusely. Trying to talk my way out of it would just insult their intelligence as well, just making things worse.

RUN! Run like hell. Because your life is about to become pure HELL!

If you have someone next to you, just say: “I told you she wasn’t pregnant!”

Never presume that a woman is pregnant unless there is a baby actually coming out of her at that moment.

Guilty! ;P I’ve never actually said “Are you pregnant?!” to a person when they’re not, but I’ve said something like “Oh, when are you due?!” and they give me the weird look. OOPS! I’ll never do that again. 😉

then just say: Oh, i heard from ____ that you were and I just wanted to make sure.

19 years ago, about a year or two after my mom had my little sister ~ an old friend of hers was SO EXCITED, SURPRISED, AND SHOCKED…saying…”OH MY GOD YOU’RE HAVING ANOTHER ONE!?!!?!?” LOL my mom was sooooooooo embarrassed…!!! She hated her after that lol actually it was just a business person, they never had any real need to see each other again, but damn that sucked for my mom! I was only about 10 when I heard it. Sure enough…my mom lost the weight she had been procrastinating. Now she is slender sleek…! But how embarrassing…another difficult one is not knowing whether someone’s child is a BOY or a GIRL!! LOL….!!

I’ve never been stupid enough to ask a woman if she was pregnant for this very reason. I however once walked into a store 8 months pregnant to buy some clothes for my unborn son. I said something about it to the lady behind the counter and she was like “You’re pregnant?” I thought to myself, “This has to be one of three things 1) she’s stupid 2) she thought I was REALLY fat 3) she’s trying to get ‘brownie points’ so I’ll buy more stuff.” Needless to say, it didn’t go over too well.

I would tell her see should see a doctor because in her face she has the “GLOW” of a women expecting

When I was in college this happened to me with a professor.

My next question to her was “…well, do you want to be?”

She laughed….

Of course you don’t ask such a question in the first place, but if you do, apologize profusely and sincerely. I asked a co-worker who appeared pregnant if she was indeed pregnant. She said no, and I apologized on the spot as we were heading down an elevator. Another female co-worker was present and her response was “the last guy that asked that question was found face-down in a ditch”. LOL. I also apologized a couple of other times when I bumped into her over the next few work days. She was cool about it.

Yes i asked my mom once when she was pregnant with my sister.

If you were to ask a woman out of guessing then its like a gamble you might get a yes or you might get a slap in the face.
