"Are you pregnant? =w=;" "OMG! NO! O.O"
Have anyone ever mistaken someone to being pregnant when they actually not?
Okay, I haven't been to my old public school since I went to high school. When I came back to help volunteer for my sister's teacher, one of my old teacher's room is besides her. So I said hi, talked for a bit. And I wondered, Maybe she is married now? Because she is in her mid-thirties, possibly going to forty soon. Now she is a plump women. Not fat, no. From her neck to her hips, she is round as a plum. Her legs though are stick thin. So imagine a fat lollipop on a stick. I mean, it wouldn't hurt if I asked right? She still looked the same but possibly I have mistaken and her tummy got rounder. So it went: Me: So miss, are you pregnant? =w=;; Her: Oh dear god no! O_O I am still Ms. (insert last name here) She literally went O_O on me like it was the most shocking thing she heard of the day. (Which likely was. ><;; ) So, I would love to hear stories. xD |
I don't ask girls if they're pregnant- It's kind of the rule for girls my age and up, you just don't ask if you put out to the extent of getting knocked up. Sometimes I'll ask a boy if he's gotten anyone pregnant, but I'm usually met with insistent denial or they turn red.
|
Ohmigod. xDDD I would never ask someone that in all seriousness unless I already knew them well or that they want a kid and look...rounder. x___x;; Embarrassing situations are just not for me... haha... I do remember that kids in 5th and 6th grade were immature enough to fling insults at each other by accusing them of being pregnant... that always bothered me when it was meant to be insulting and not a joke. |
my mum frequently asks me if I'm pregnant.... Apparently it's because I eat enough for two and have wierd cravings. Not because I'm fat :P If anyone else did it I'd give them a black eye. That's just beyond rude.
|
Ooh, I have known people who asked that question all-too often at my school. Not that I was one getting the questions.
But anyways... The Spanish teacher at my school looks like she's pregnant and every time you see her you just can't help but wonder if she is or isn't. Turns out, after many people in the grade below me asking, she isn't. >3< |
I think Jimmy Carr probably explained it best: "I've gotten to a point in my life where I'd rather see a pregnant woman standing on a bus, than a fat girl sitting down and crying." :)

I remember that when I was pregnant with my daughter, about 7 months along, I got heartily sick of strangers coming up to he and wanting to touch my stomach with the question 'when are you due' falling out of their mouths. So I started telling them that I wasn't pregnant, and watching their faces fall off in shame. Cruel, yes, but I was hormonal and irritable.
|
@Arkeyla: Poor you, it must be annoying to have random strangers coming up to you. DD: There are many times that I see pregnant women in the malls and I want to congratulate them but I stop myself before I made that mistake again. xDD;

I probably could have lived with it if they didn't feel like they had a right to touch my tummy. It's MY tummy, thankyou! Maybe I should have gone one further and put my hand on their forehead checking for brain activity. Oh well, I will remember it if I ever have another child.

Omgawsh, I was mistaken for pregnant once.
Though it may have been a joke put over a speaker. |

Back in high school, people would ask my friend if she was pregnant. Though, I think they did it just to be mean, which I never understood. Yeah, she's overweight, but it's really not that bad compared to what you see every day. I think it was just because she dresses so confidently, wearing cute skirts and tang tops instead of trying to hide her body.
Anyways, I was sitting with her one time when two girls approached her. Girl: OMG. Are you, like, pregnant or something?" my friend: "No, I'm just fat. Thanks for asking though!" The two girls exchanged really confused glances before shuffling away and me and my friend just started laughing hysterically. |
I'm the only person in my family that is of reasonable wight but my sister is working to change that. One day when she and I and my mom were out shopping (I hate shopping). Any way, my mom was looking at some cloth, my sister was criticizing them (but unless my sister says 'put it back' she does not mean it.) I was looking at the hats because I had already finished looking at the clothing when this woman walked up and said, giggling, "I'm sorry but I just have to ask, when are you do." to my sister.
Now my sister is working really hard at losing wight, but she's not the kind of person to blow up, but on the way home she asked if we could get some cake. My mom made her one instead. |
Arg I hate that question. I once had a guy spread a rumor that I was pregnant. I had just finished rowing a little while ago so I had a little belly and instead of asking he just started telling everyone. I was very pissed since I didn't even have a boy friend at the time and I was one of those quiet people who you wouldn't pick to sleep around.

Wow, you should NEVER ever ask someone if they are pregnant unless you are ABSOLUTELY sure they are. But then asking then, is like being captain obvious anyways. It can get in you into so much trouble. Especially if they are overweight because that is a big no-no. Basically if you are wrong you just told them you think they are fat and even if they are, you still insulted them. Most people will tell you if they are pregnant if they know you and want you to know, otherwise just let it go. Really the only time you can tell someone is pregnant just buy looking at them is if they are a thinner person and have that obvious "rounded tummy" look but no weight anywhere else. Someone asked me once if I was pregnant and I immediately thought they thought I was fat but it turned out they just saw my touching my stomach and thought because of that. But still its never a good idea to ask anyone, even if you know them.

I did ask some one once if they were pregnant, in high school and yeah she was. A baby boy I believe, her grand mother and mom were going to take care of it so she could finish high school. ^.^
made me happy, a lot of girls dropped out because of babies in my high school. |
No but my GF thought that she was pregnant once, FREAKED ME THE FUCK OUT!! @[email protected] But then I was like."Wait, we haven't done it..Who did you cheat with me on?!?!" an she said that she was a virgin, she honestly thought that she had gotten pregnant w/o havening sex, lol I just laughed after that.

Once upon a time ago, my home room teacher was pregnant, and starting to show.
She had a bunch of students asking her if she was pregnant. At one point, she told someone no, and they went dead silent. My teacher is mean! She said they just walked away, they didn't say anything after that, they just left. I thought that was so cruel. X3 From that point on, I have been scared to ask people, just in case. O.o |
There was this girl it my school who pretended she was pregnant because she started gaining weight.
We all believed her until she called us saying the baby died (she said she was 6 months), and that the doctor aborted it, then she came back to school and looked just as fat as ever. We were freshmen back then, so we didn't know anything about pregnancies. |
Hehe
There was this one time me and my boyfriend skipped class. He took me to subway and i got full on a foot sub so my tummy was sticking out. Not im really skinny but when ever i have a big belly i loke put my hand over it liek im pregnant >.D anyways we went to a pawn shop because i wanted to check ouyt the dvd's and while i was paying for one my boyfriend was with me. It went like this. Boyfriend: Should be a good movie..heard about it... Me: Yeah, i might not watch it though, i've been tired latley...-puts hand on tummy for a SPLIT second- Man: Miss...are you pregnant? Boyfriend: -blinks and looks at me" Me: uh no...I just ate alot for Lunch... Boyfriend: -sighs in relief- It was funny but still i couldnt help but feel abit fat.... But then we went to DQ and got a whole icecream sheet cake, took it to his house watched the movie and ate it It took us 2.5 hours to eat teh cake ^^ |
That actually happened yesterday!
I was hanging out with my friends, and one of the guys I know was like "You guys know Megan [last name]? I think she's pregnant! I saw her a few weeks ago, and she looked really pregnant. Like, six months along." Then another of my friends leaned over to him and was like "Dude, Megan's a lesbian...." and the first guy was like "Oh.... Oh yeah, I forgot.... Nevermind, then." As others have said, you definitely can't say "are you pregnant?" to someone. But if you think they are, you can hint around it to try to get them to say it themselves. Like, "so are you and [boyfriend/fiance/husband] planning on having any kids?", "Anything big happen to you lately?" and stuff like that. If they don't mention it, they're probably not pregnant. |
How embarrassing!
People often suggest to me that I might be pregnant. Not because I'm chubby or anything, though. I'm married, so most people assume we're trying for a baby right away... which we're not just yet! I'm often nauseous, and I throw up really easily (due to both having a naturlly weak stomach and also really bad anaemia) so people often see me pale-faced and rushing off to the bathroom to throw up, and the automatic reaction is always; "Oooh! *squeal* What if you're pregnant?" It's like they've all somehow forgotten that I was exactly the same BEFORE we got married, too. :roll: |
When I think people are pregnant and I don't really know I just don't even ask because I don't want to feel rude if they aren't. XD I'm pregnant right now!!
|
I really wanna say that to one of my newly wed teachers, just for kicks.
