Comments on: One Question Not to Ask

My natural shape is an hourglass and I always had a really flat belly. So the first time someone congratulated me on my “pregnancy” (a complete stranger – I was working in a service industry), it felt like a bucket full of ice water had just been poured over me. Since then it’s happened to me a few times, and of course it’s really hurtful, considering that I’m infertile.

Diane, I have to admit that I have asked that question to a non-pregnant lady before. After she explained to me that her baby was X months old, I vowed to never ask that question again unless I was absolutely certain the lady was pregnant.

I’ve been asked that before also, and it’s a horrible feeling to be sure.

Thanks for reminding us to remember why we’re working on loseing weight and maintaining a healthier lifestyle.

Thank you. You’re right. I need to not forget all the embarrassing moments I’ve had. I need to not forget the reason I’m doing this.

Everytime I see a jumper, I think of you and how sad you seem when you write about it. (

I never was asked this question thank goodness, but I am surprised it never happened. I just cannot believe that people even ask that question. Unless you see a baby actually crowning, you should never assume a woman is pregnant.

Such a bad question that should never be asked! Even if I know the woman is pregnant, I don’t comment on her pregnancy until SHE (or her husband) tells me the news herself. Otherwise, I keep my mouth SHUT!
