Last year, I overheard my students talking about me, trying to figure out if I was pregnant. It was a bit of a downer
I had the opposite happen yesterday, I was walking by two of my former students and heard one ask the other if I had a baby (assuming that I was pregnant when I was their teacher last year). Then he said, "she looks so different it's crazy."
I'm much happier with them thinking I had a baby than thinking that I am currently pregnant. . . But it's still weird. And I will never get over how much they talk about me when I am standing right there. I love how teenagers think you can't hear things

I would totally take that as a NSV!!! It sucks when people think you are preggers and you are not, but when a teenager actually notices a change especially when you have lost.....a sign you are doing something right
I'm a social worker, and I've had a client ask me if I'm pregnant. I thought it was kind of silly, because my fat isn't solely focused in my belly.
It actually didn't bother me as much as I would have thought, and I still don't know why that is. Probably because knowing this person, it wasn't meant to be mean-spirited. But still, I'm not sure why you'd actually say that to someone. I never, ever assume someone is pregnant, even if it's very obvious...just because goodness knows, the one time I do I'll be wrong :P
I've only had this happen once, and whats horrible is I was about 13 or 14 at the time. I went to have some bloodwork done and as the woman was drawing my blood she asks me, when is the baby due?
Yeah, I was crushed. She got all flustered when I told her I wasn't pregnant, I was just fat...
Had this happen probably about 6 months ago when I was at my HW of 285. I carry ALL of my weight in my tummy. I have PCOS and Diabetes and that tends to not help the matters of tummy fat. I know I look pregnant and am surprised I haven't been asked that before.
I was wearing a shirt that tied right under the boobs so I think it accented my tummy even more. I liked it... I threw it out that night though!
Oh and I just told her that I wasn't and moved on. =) It is definitely not fun to hear though.
I've never been mistaken for being pregnant but once when I was out on a date (and I weighed a much healthier weight at the time, though still a bit "thick") the guy and I were at a little late night diner place after a midnight movie we attended. I ordered a club sandwich and a coke. The waitress says "diet coke?" and I said "No, just coke." and then when she brought the food she put my plate down and says "club sandwich...light on the mayo" and he and I both thought it was way rude to decide my order for me...diet pop, light mayo... so we left her no tip.
i am an x-ray tech, and i've had nurses ask me before if i have a safe job for my "condition." it's so difficult to keep your cool in a work environment like that.
i've had people approach me at church, asking if i was excited... and of course i ask, "for what?" and then promptly tell them.. "nope. just fat."
i NEVER assume... i have to ask ppl all the time at work "if there's any chance they might be pregnant" and generally, ppl just say, "nope, had a tubal!" but that is SO different than just approaching someone and asking IF they're pregnant!

The whole diet coke thing has happened to me several times! I don't drink soda on a regular basis, it's a treat, and I HATE diet coke so when I ask for a coke I damn well better get a coke. I have had several people ask me if I meant diet coke OR they will get me diet coke....like I am not going to notice it's diet!
