I want your "are you pregnant?" stories

I was at Tim Horton's a few weeks ago and the cashier asked me when I was due.
Considering I am 5 foot 7 and 126lbs, I can't for the life of me figure out why she would ask that...
Totally paranoid now though

My belly swells up pretty bad when I eat, no joke. I also rub it a lot when it's that swollen. When I weighed 130 (I'm 5'8") I got asked twice when I was due because of my "food babies."

I'm also a jerk ... When I was 160 and just started dating my husband, we were dating long distance and it had been about 3 months since we had seen each other. I had a massive food baby so I took a picture of me in profile and sent it to him with the message "We need to talk." He did NOT find it as funny as I did.

A guy I worked with asked me if was pregnant once. I think mostly just because his gf was newly preggers and he was excited so he just thought about it all the time? Not sure.

He was just so excited...bizarre.

When I was 9 months pregnant with my oldest child I was in the mall walking and a lady came up, put her hand on my abdomen and asked "When are you due". Since touching me without permission is one of my pet peeves I replied sarcastically "I'm not pregnant, I'm just fat". :bigsmile:

You should have seen the horrified look on her face; and boy did she snatch her hand back like I'd just bit her.

That was the only time that ever happened. I think I project an aura of F@#K off, so most people leave me alone.

I keep telling people when I get knocked up I'm going to just tell people I'm fat, it just seems easier that way hahahahaha...

I've got to think this is one of the most horrible things a woman can go through (even if they laugh it off) .. brutal.

it was last witer snow on the ground .
i suffer with back problems ad id gone to the shop to get some stuff and whilst standig i line my back twiged so i was rubbing my back where it hurt this little old lady (bless her) said be carefull when yo go outside in them heels yo dont wanna fall over in your condition.
i was in complete shock and wouldnt of minded bt the shop was full of people :noway: when i said i weren't pregnant she appologised ad left very quickly.

Was never asked if I was pregnant but I did go to a garage sale to find baby clothes for some friends who did just have a baby and the lady asked how old my daughter was. I think that's when I knew I REALLY needed to start losing weight.

No one's ever asked me, but I have a few expereinces of the other end...

My mum once asked someone when her baby was due in Tesco; she wasn't pregnant, but she'd had it the day before so it wasn't that bad!

I was waiting for a bus once, and this woman came over who was really thin apart from her stomach; she looked about 6 months pregnant. the bus station was shut so i was sat on my suitcase, and i stood up to talk to her. I was going to offer her it to sit on because the bus didn't come for a while; luckily she started talking about her pensioner's bus pass and how active she was so I didn't! She looked nowhere near 55, and had some of the coolest stories to tell. She travelled round the world to understand historical controversies, researching them for authors and theatre companies.

Once, at a company BBQ, the guy operating the smoothy booth said "well, you're eating for two" when he handed me two....I was wearing an empire waist dress. It was so upsetting. And I was on my way to the gym. Then another time, my lovely DH told me that I should not wear a certain sweater as it made me look bigger than I was. Now, he NEVER says anything about my weight. Not even when I was 260 lbs preggo with our second kid - he loves me all the time and is always after my *kitten*. So when he said that, I got rid of all my baggy clothes and bought more tight-fitting clothes. I started to work out and eat better and EVERYONE started to comment how great I was looking. I'm continuing on this journey and the moral is, do NOT wear baggy clothes - they make you look bigger than you are, no matter what size you are. Right now I'm a size 8/10 and weigh 175 lbs-ish.

This happened to me and this was actually the defining moment that promted me to lose weight. I was at the nail salon with my regualar nail tech. He didn't speak english all that well but well enough to make conversation. So he says "You have baby?" and motioned to my stomach. I said no and in disbelief he says "But big belly" while he motions to what a big belly that could only be the result of a pregnancy looked like so I would understand. I said "No, that's just too many cupcakes." He wasn't trying to be malicious actually but boy was I embarrased. I started dieting and excersing shortly after that.

I had two women I was training with approach me during a break and ask me if I was pregnant because they thought maybe I was but they just couldn't tell. I was 30 weeks, so it was a little weird that they couldn't tell.

I have two "are you pregnant?" stories.

First one was about a year after I got married. I had not seen my parents in months, and had put on maybe 10 pounds since the wedding. I got into a hot tub with my mom and she said I should get out of the hot tub. I asked her why and she responded, "But pregnant women shouldn't be in hot tubs!" I went back to my hotel room and cried.

Second was when I actually was pregnant a few years later. I didn't ever get really big with my first baby, and never really showed. When my baby shower invites went out to a bunch of co-workers, a few called the hostess asking if it was a joke. I was 7 months along, thought I was huge, and people didn't even think I looked pregnant. I had to bring my ultra-sound pics to the shower to prove that I was actually having a baby.

A couple of years ago a little girl at my son's daycare asked me if I was having a baby, right in front of everyone....I just told her "nope, I just like candy" and laughed it off....but man was that embarrassing

I was pregnant with the baby hes is 3 now and at out nieces 1st b-day party and one of my sister in laws boy friends family thought I was really fat. I was talking to them and started telling them I was due in December and told her I was around 6 months and she was like I didn't realize you were pregnant.. I have never met this person and I'm short.. maybe 5'1 (as I'm getting older I seam to be getting shorter or maybe I was never any taller...lol ) but anyway I was like Yea I'm pregnant I'm only ever this big when I am.. I tend to carry all in the front.. as all women do.. some high some low.. me all front.. I don't remember my weight but I remember being really insulted and them suddenly really insecure about being there, went and found my hubby and told him and we laughed it off. But seriouly people who cant tell you are pregnant or just over weight need to have there eyes checked..there are clues the pregnant woman gives off.. and to those who just ask hey are you pregnant and your are not.. they should just get the f* off award and who asks that anyway.. that's just really wrong to ask someone. well vent over.. and there was my story.. have a good day all.

When I was actually smaller than I am now, I was picking up sushi for dinner, and had some lady tell me that she didn't think you were supposed to eat that when you are pregnant. :-/ I guess another reason I don't intend to have children!!
