Frustrated Rant

How do you deal with those people that are pregnant or wanting to be pregnant so badly that they are convinced everyone else is pregnant?

Two female acquaintance of mine are convince that EVERY woman they are encounter is pregnant, especially since they both announce they pregnant. It always been annoying, but lately it getting worse. It could be I'm just more sensitive since I got injured and decide to wait on TTC, but their insistence on my being pregnant has had me near tears several times the last couple days. I know I'm not and that I won't be pregnant anytime soon, by choice, but I still wish I was pregnant a lot of the time. I wish I avoid them, but that mean avoid my doctor office and that not possible if I want to heal.

Anyone have suggestions on how to deal with them?

I told one woman who kept asking me if I was pregnant that all I had was an empty womb, and thanks for bringing it up.
She never asked again.

Punch them in the throat then walk away

I like where KarliQ's head is, but I'm not sure that will help. I'd go br0co1ii's route. If they still persist, then throat punch them.

Who does that to people? They sound awful. I'd probably make some remark like @br0co1ii and hopefully that'd get them to shut up. If it didn't I'd get harsher until they felt really awful about themselves. You shouldn't have to put up with that!

I work with 4 pregnant women. I've been getting this same thing, and they mean well, but have no idea how much it bothers me when they make those comments. I like the first advice you received and may use it myself.

Thank you for all for the wonderful advice. While no punching happened, the advice helped and they have stopped.
