Has anyone called you out?

I have had THREE people ask me if I'm pregnant or say 'You are totally pregnant.' Evidently it's my face that's giving me away?? WHAT? The first two were family so I forgave them but this last one was a girl I was friend's with in high school and we randomly FB chat. She sent me a private message asking 'Are you preggers????' Seriously. I've been very open about my m/c on FB so who in their right mind would message me to ask if I'm pregnant based on 'the glow on your face in the last picture your sister-in-law posted of you.' Seriously.

Oh make that FOUR people because I had someone ask me on a status if I had morning sickness after posting about my christmas day flu. If morning sickness includes fever and chills then yeah that's what I had. Again a person I don't speak to off FB.

So who else is getting called out left and right?? I haven't admitted to a single person on FB that I am indeed with child.

I "was on antibiotics" (so I couldn't drink alcohol) at my annual Christmas get-together with my girlfriends, and one of them said, "I don't think you had strep, I think you are pregnant". I laughed it off and said, "Oh yeah, I forgot to mention, it's twins!" She laughed too, but she still gave me the side eye. No one else really mentioned anything though. 

Other than that, no one has mentioned anything, thank God.

I just can't imagine ever calling someone out even if it was pretty obvious. ESPECIALLY if I knew they had had a fairly recent M/C or a M/C ever. I feel like it's rude.

My step son called us out, in front of a room of people we weren't going to tell until the 2nd trimester. 

Said he knew a 'rumour' and of course everyone pressed him to say what it was.

Once he did, I could hardly lie and say he was wrong, and then announce in 4 weeks time. Plus I just can't lie.

So we got outed by my 8 year old step son.

Was not happy.

I don't understand how people can be so insensitive.  I knew a friend of mine was pregnant but kept my mouth shut because she obviously wasn't ready to tell.  She told me a month later and explained that she was high risk and terrified of a miscarriage.  

 A coworker asked me if I was pregnant a few weeks ago because I was considering switching insurance. I was only 4 weeks and wasn't ready to tell anyone, so I totally lied.

A friend's 4 year old daughter asked if I had a baby in my belly.  When I lied and told her no she said, "Well, it looks like you do."  Thanks you little brat.  I think some of my friends are starting to suspect but they're all too polite to ask.

We went to dinner at my aunt and uncle's and she took one look at my glass of water and was like, oh, is there anything we should know? It didn't bother me much because I was going to tell them anyway. They suffered a couple losses and I knew they would understand keeping quiet.

The next night, at dinner with my aunt, her partner and my brother and SIL, I totally got called out. I said I wasn't drinking because I was DD, which was partly true. It was a German place and DH loves the beer, so I would probably have been DD anyway. And when they asked if that was the only reason I said yes, and they wouldn't let it drop. And I wasn't expecting anyone to call me out so I was totally unprepared to lie. I wasn't too happy.

Not yet, but I don't know how much longer we can hide it out.

Not this time, but the first time around, I totally got called out right at about 8 weeks. My boobs went from a 34B to a 34D pretty much immediately, and they completely gave me away! I couldn't hide them. A girl at work was like, "geez! Where'd those come from? wait, are you pregnant?!?!?" We lied and said no.. and then told them all a month later.

If people call you out, I think that is just rude. Unless you're really close, then you would tell them anyway.

No one has really done it yet, but I been on winter break from school for two weeks. I go back on Wednesday and I am almost sure I am going to get the "anything interesting over vacation?!?"

CaliforniaDream87

Nope.

Honestly, I have kept my distance from people lately especially because I've been so sick. I also am not on FB like I used to be.

One of my friends asked if I was (or rather, said "well, you're pregnant") based on a few pins I made on pinterest.  I have ALWAYS kept a baby board where I pin things, and just because I added to it, I got called out.  Luckily it wasn't someone I see all the time.  Now I'm all self conscious about pinterest.

Use the secret board!

My husband and I decided to tell our families last week (8 1/2 weeks) while we were home for Christmas since we live on the opposite side of the country and wanted to do it in person. Both my parents and a couple of my siblings said they thought I was just gaining weight. I think they're the only people who could get away with comments like that! In their defense, I started showing right away (I have a short torso, so the only way for it to go is out). I'm trying to wear loose fitting shirts, but it's just so obvious!

Yup....and if you saw me you'd know why...I'm huge! Actually they didn't say anything to my face but a few coworkers were all speculating about a week or two ago.  I've been on vacation for a week so I'm sure when I get back they'll be talking again.  Definitely not happy about it bc I had a loss in August and they we talking right in front of my building principal.

YES! It's driving me crazy. I haven't gained any weight, but I am bloated. I had to tell my boss early I was pregnant because I'm PGaL and seeing a specialist weekly. When I told her, she said she thought I was but didn't want to ask. I didn't drink at my Christmas party, but I did have a bad cold so I was trying to use that as an excuse. My co-workers are discussing it amongst themselves and I'm trying not pretend not to notice. At Christmas my grandmom asked my mom if I was. She tried to avoid the question but by not answering she basically confirmed it. We went to a party on Saturday and someone straight out asked if I was and I couldn't lie. DH and I stayed home from a party yesterday sick to try and avoid more questions. I am honestly still sick and I don't want to take anything if I don't have to.  I just don't understand what they are seeing/sensing!

Not yet, thankfully, but I have a feeling my students will comment when we start back to school next Monday. 

 

Also avoiding a NYE party tonight so we don't have to explain the no-alcohol thing.

A patient at work today did... She asked me when I was due. I must have turned 8 shades of red, since I KNOW I'm not showing- I'm only 7 weeks! It's a good thing I really am pregnant or I would have been SUPER offended. Instead I'm only sort of offended. 

katiedid0907

Yes I have! It's so annoying especially since I'm a really bad liar.

I got called out by my BFF via text. But it was for all the wrong reasons! My BFF who's always been a baby pusher texted me frantic because "there's all these pictures of babies on my Facebook page." Yes, I did post a picture of my husband holding a 4 month old on Christmas, but it was the most awkward picture ever. He looked uncomfortable and so did the baby! He doesn't hold children often. Yet. I asked her what other pictures and she said there was one of my husband and I with a doll. A freaking doll! It was Christmas morning and my 3 yr old niece was sharing all her toys with us. There was also a stuffed cat on my husband, but apparently this was lost on my BFF. It's really unreal the things you get called out on. If anyone says anything to me about my stomach when I start to show or bloat, they better be prepared for a rude response!
