Yup, this seriously just happened. And the frustrating thing? I'd just spent an hour working out to my Davina DVD.

To make matters worse, he then tried to justify his comment with 'well maybe you are pregnant and you just don't know it'? Which means that he also thinks I'm stupid enough to have got so far along that I'm 'showing' and not realise that I'm pregnant.

He probably asked in all innocence and with no malice, but ffs!!!!!! I mean, FFS!!!!! I am big, and yes, my tummy is the largest part of me and I really really want to get rid of it. But jesus cripes, how dare he?!!

    Ugh, I am so sorry. That just stinks. I had that happen at work once and when I said I wasn't pregnant the woman said "Well maybe if you lost weight you could get pregnant." Nice.

    I've had this happen to me... from an old college buddy who noticed I didn't have my rock solid abs from when we were in college :/

    I don't even look big. Most people think I'm skinny enough. We were both horribly embarrassed.

    Not an issue with overweight guys. Everyone knows you just eat too much.

    Some people have no tact. Write him off and keep at it.

    If it ever happens again, let your face fall and look really upset. Tell them you just lost the baby. Mean? Probably. But I bet the person will NEVER say anything to another woman again about when their "baby" is due!

    Well, maybe you ARE the Dragonborn and you just don't know it yet.

    Wait, pregnancy. Uuuuh.

    Say you are and do a shot of tequila right in front of them.

    So rude! I just can't wrap my head around the way total strangers feel it's ok to walk up to someone and comment on a very personal thing, be it pregnancy, weight or anything else. Getting a little dizzy from shaking my head. :confounded:

    I had the opposite problem: I WAS pregnant (4 or 5 months), wearing a figure hugging dress. I had an old man tell me, 'you really shouldn't wear that dress, it makes you look thick waisted'. *Head desk*

    A female friend next to me (who I hadn't seen in a while, and I hadn't had a chance to mention to her yet that I was pregnant) told him how rude he was. I said, 'it's ok, I am thick waisted'. Lady friend recoiled, and did the, 'no, you're not!' and I said, I was, but that was because I was pregnant.

    But it did annoy me, because who does anyone think they are, telling another person what they should or should not wear? Whether pregnant or not? Or to point out to someone a perceived 'flaw' they observed in their body? If I weren't pregnant and the same thing had happened, I'm sure my response would not have been so calm.
