    I think it was Dave Barry who said "Do not ask if a woman is pregnant unless there is a baby emerging from her at that moment."

    Ha ha you beat me to it!

    Note to others: Never, I repeat NEVER ask a woman when she is due unless you KNOW she is pregnant. End of story!

    Ok, vent over, lol, but seriously....Im a fairly tall woman, almost 5'10, and unfortunately I carry most of my excess weight right where I dont want it...right around my lower ab section and hips....Ive always been "curvy" with a small waist and large hips...its just my shape and that cannot be changed...but whats up with my belly?! I cant tell you how long Ive had the pregnant appearance! Certainly long after my 3 children have come along (24, 16 and 12) ....am I just destined to have a preggo belly forever? Ive lost 5 lbs so far and Im so proud of myself :o) however....it sure as hell didnt come off my stomach! LOL...not really sure where it came off of....

    Hang in there, and congrats on the five pounds! (and yes, I've had people ask me if I was pregnant)

    I feel ya. I put on about 70 lbs shortly after high school (and 50 more since). I ran into someone the following year in a public place and they looked at me and carried on excitedly about me expecting, and wondered how far along I was. I was so embarrassed both for myself and for them, that my answer was, "Oh, 6 months..give or take." To this day I have no children, and I sincerely hope I never run into them again and have to explain that one!

    Weird. I've done the opposite. I thought a woman had gotten fat, no I didn't say it her, and when I asked a mutual what happened to her, the mutual started laughing. She told the woman and she sweetly said, you thought I just let myself go, I'm pregnant.

    I say nothing to no one when anyone gets fat anymore. They may actually be pregnant.

    Baaahahahahaaaaaaaaaaa! I love these. I'm also one that when I get heavy - it hits the mid section pretty hard.

    Funniest thing that ever happened was I went out to dinner with my boyfriend (now husband and father of my unborn child), and I wore one of those empress waist dresses and it was kinda poofy in the front. I'll admit it; I was a bit heavier and it probably did look like I was pregnant... So while waiting to be seated; a nice older lady walked by me and very sweetly asked me "What was I having?".

    My response: "I dunno, we haven't gotten to see a menu yet".

    And then we both looked down, realized WHAT she was actually asking, and she booked it to the bathroom after whispering "oh, sorry...".

    Ahahaha.... It's cool. I was quite the fatty. I find it really funny now.

    I don't know if this will make you feel any better (probably not) but I am currently 20 lbs lighter than I have EVER been in my life (including teen years). I have two kids (the youngest will be two in a few months) and if I so much as eat an extra pancake I look about 5 months pregnant and have been asked that on numerous occasions. I was never asked that before having kids. Some things are just never the same....my belly and jumping on a trampoline......<sigh>

    Shortly after my friend had her last child I went to visit her. I hadn't seen her or her other children for a while because I live in another state now. First thing her oldest daughter asks? "When are you going to have a baby?"
    I had to explain that when kids and grownups didn't eat their vegetables and didn't go out and play often enough they got fat and looked pregnant. Not totally elegant, but it worked.
    My poor friend was so mortified. I thought it was pretty funny.
