Seriously! I just snapped lol If one more person asks me if Im pregnant or having a baby soon, I am going to choke them.

I dont know whats going on but EVERYDAY this comes up. Cant a woman be married for 5 seconds without kids being brought up?

My ex just imed me (we're friendly, talk once in a blue) and immediately asked me if Im pregnant because according to him 'Im married now'

Re: I'M NOT PREGNANT!!

The comment I get and hate is 'Don't get pregnant!.' I know everyone does it with good intentions (Im in School), but I know I am well capable of being able to have a child and study at the same time. Your life does not stop just because you have a baby. One of the students in my class had a baby and the following week was right back to class. I am not planning to have any before I finish school (I just don't want a baby right now), but I don't want people looking down on me or as if I messed up my life if I were to get pregnant. Although I would prove everyone wrong!

I just hate the comments!!! I'm a bright girl and I'll chose to get pregnant when the time is right for me!

i think i'm too young (24) to be getting those comments from people, plus i'm still in school

that's so annoying though! you should turn around and say 'are you?' and pat them on the belly

This is a funny one. Have to try it

Re: I'M NOT PREGNANT!!

i dont get this that much so dont really deal with it haha. Im gonna be 29 in 4 months and dh will be 30 in 4 months, weird that we dont deal with it do ppl not want us to have a baby

if the topic comes up we discuss it, only one couple asked what our plans were but nobody has asked if i was pregnant at the moment. I would get annoyed by that.

Its also rude, how do you know somebody isn't trying and having a difficult time and this question can just make it worse for them to hear all the time. Don't ppl think first i think alot of our friends know somebody or have been in the situation of having a hard time to get pregnant and know not to ask such stupid questions.

Re: I'M NOT PREGNANT!!

LOL The minute I came back from my HM this is the most popular question I've received! In fact, I was at a bridal shower, downing a glass of wine and one of my bm's asked me if I'm pregnant. Yes, and I also am a huge supporter of fetal alcohol syndrome

Re: I'M NOT PREGNANT!!

BIL's got married for the second time last year and he's made it loud and clear that there will be an announcement very soon since the basis of divorce was that his first wife wanted to wait a few years.. so now eveyrone looks at DH and is like now he should have a cousin to play with.. NO people!! We have our own plans and when the time is right and when we do get preggers, we will make the announcement!!

Re: I'M NOT PREGNANT!!

ME EITHER!! I wish people would stop asking. I always say...no i'm not pregnant..but thanks for making me feel fat. That usually shuts them up!

Re: I'M NOT PREGNANT!!

this weekend my MIL was telling me how her co-worker is bragging to her that he's going to be a grandpa... and then she was like OH wait, but I'm not saying you should have a baby just because I want one!!

thanks ma, wasn't planning to. She definitely wants one badly but doesn't pester us.

but in general i haven't gotten it that much. 1. because i'm in school and 2. because i'm not very maternal and get this scared freaked out look when i'm surrounded by screaming little kids, so no one is thinking I want to pop one out anytime soon.

I can totally feel your pain. I left early yesterday at work, and my co-worker was asking if I was pregnant. Ummm...no!

That happened to me when I left work early because i was sick! toooo funny.

Re: I'M NOT PREGNANT!!

Re: I'M NOT PREGNANT!!

No one has really directly said this to me, but i would flip out if they did lol. People who know me well know better. I just think it's so incredibly inappropraite on so many levels.....it's such a personal thing, people who bring this up are way out of line, IMO!

Re: I'M NOT PREGNANT!!

i know! it's so frustrating! people need to mind their own business! and we're actually trying to get pregnant and no luck... so it just makes it worse!

Re: I'M NOT PREGNANT!!

i've had this at work too... it is very annoying! Along w/ MIL asking and Dh's cousins....people just don't get it.
