    I was talking with a personal trainer at my gym when a young lady walked by whom the PT knew. The PT goes "Ohmygosh I haven't seen you in ages! When are you due?". Okay. This chick DID NOT look pregnant to me. She was skinny but all her fat was in her middle area (belly) but not even close to looking pregnant. Needless to say the PT looked like this :blushing: when the girl adamantly said "no!'. I felt bad for both parties. :ohwell:

    Just let it roll off your back. It's just one of those things that happen to the best of us and I'm sure the other person was mortified as well :laugh:

    It really is the most awkward situation! Don't people know to just not assume these things? I don't even ask, no matter how pregnant they look, I wait for them to say something

    I see that you have a wedding picture as your profile picture. Have you recently gotten married? This is more than likely why people are asking. They are expecting it and if they even remotely see a tiny belly that is what they will assume.

    Ya I got married in June. The funny thing is though, two were complete strangers!

    Interesting. Maybe it's they type of clothes you are wearing? Do you wear a lot of shirts/dresses with empire waists? It's commonly a cut for Maternity wear, but can cross over into plus size, etc.

    Hmm, that's quite possible. I do wear a few, just because they are comfy to me!

    Yup...that's what it is. A tummy disguised under an empire waist very much looks like pregnancy. So...married in June...when are you going to have some babies?

    you can also park closer at the mall. take advantage before it becomes super obvious you are not.

    now I'm pissed I have thunder thighs instead of a pregnancy belly :angry:

    Way back when I got the "when are you due?" question I really really, really wanted to say "no, I have a tumor" but I thought the Karma would come back to me :wink: , so I just told them the truth, "About 6 weeks ago".

    This. I got married in May, and I can't tell you how many people have asked if I'm pregnant. I think they see young + ring on a finger and think, "BABY." Or maybe it's marriage glow~*~*

    Plus, yeah, ditch the empire tops. I wore one of those empire waist short dresses once. I was borderline-underweight. Some old woman INSISTED I was pregnant; almost fought with me. "No, you're joking!" she said.

    I get they're comfy, I get they "hide" trouble areas... but never. again.

    I have a very strict rule that unless 1) I see actual protruding baby parts or 2) the woman says to me something very certain such as "I am pregnant", I will *not* even consider the remote possibility that she might be pregnant.

    Unfortunately, this rule was borne of violating this rule...several times. :embarassed:

    WHy is that? Why don't they just believe you when you say you aren't? Don't ask me if I'm sure, don't ask me how I know I'm not!

    LOL.

    You sure you're not pregnant?

    Haha, I was wondering how long that would take :laugh:

    Seriously though, what if you just don't know it yet? :wink:
