    It's typically women who say this, so here is the proper response, it'll get you a laugh and turn the tables.

    Pretend you didn't quite hear what they said, smile really big, reach for her belly with both hands and say this. "Oh my God! You're pregnant? Congratulations! I thought you had just put on a few extra pounds."

    :laugh: Love that response.

    The only safe time to ask if one is expecting without previous input is if there is a baby actually being birthed at that moment.

    Throat punch.

    You stole my response. That was exactly what I was going to say. Throat punch, followed by "Oh sorry! Pregnancy hormones..."

    You should never say anything to a woman that even remotely suggests you think she's pregnant unless you can see an actual baby emerging from her at that moment.
