Well, this may be worth a chuckle or make you feel less alone! I was in the elevator with a male colleague who had a pot belly. The 4 year old visiting the office in the elevator with his pg mom, pointed at this MAN and said, look mommy - he has a baby in his belly too!!! Totally innocent, but I was mortified, and quickly filled the gap by launching into a business problem I needed his advice on. So, ladies, it does get worse........at least we are not men!

My belly really stretched out with my last pregnancy, and no matter how much I've gained or lost, my proportions spell "pregnant". Occasionally I still get asked, or even get my belly patted for good luck, by well-meaning strangers. I hate to embarass them, can still remember when I asked someone wrongly 20+ yrs ago. I usually say "I've been in my 8th month for the past 15 yrs!" and assure them I get asked all the time. Hey, I'm in my fifties - it's also quite a compliment! But yes, the first few times were mortifying, both for me and for the other person.

I like your way of thinking!

I had the same thing happen to me!
 

I was at work one day and a woman came in and said "Oh when are you due?" I was mortified and I didn't know what to say, so I just said "I am just fat" the lady said sorry and I felt like such a heffer! I don't think I have recovered from that comment yet! I just know that I have to lose weight, because I don't want to be asked that question unless I really am pregnant! What makes it worse is that I have been trying to get prego for about 2 years and it hasn't happened yet! Oh well, life goes on!

Sorry that the same comment was made to you. I feel your pain:(

Sorry that happened to you. Drag!

This reminds me of a comedian several years ago (I cannot remember who)..."NEVER make a comment to a woman about pregnancy unless you actually see the child emerging from her at that very moment." :D

I think my "when are you due?" encounters are up to 3 now. I know EXACTLY how you feel. My comments are alwatys vague and I never let the person know they were wrong (they were always brief encounters). I just didn't want to make it worse by saying I wasn't pregnant.

Just know that you are not alone!!
