...and don't want to tell people just yet.
Today I was at lunch with about 10 co-workers and sitting next to my boss. I said "I think I want something fried" and my co-worker just blurts out - are you pregnant???
I have been hiding it well (I thinnk). I am 11 weeks tomorrow. I was really annoyed. I think I was pretty defensive and said Why- because I want fried food that means I'm pregnant???
Any way, note to self I am never asking someone that in front of a large group of people. Obnoxious!
Re: What do you say if someone asks you if you're pregnant?
I just lie and say no. Just dont over play it. I figure they are being rude enough to ask a question that is none of their business then I can be rude and lie right to their faces. You do not owe them the truth. This is YOUR pregnancy and you will tell when you are ready! OMG stuff like this really gets me annoyed!!
On a semi related note... I also hate when people play the "do you think so and so is pregnant" game. People, a pregnancy is not juicy gossip... its a BABY! these things are fragile and will come out when it is time not just because you felt it was your right and civic responsibility to play detective... Rant over.....
My Ovulation Chart
I was asked this once before I was pregnant. A co-worker said my face looked fuller and asked. I looked at her and said "I have my period, thanks for pointing out my bloat." Inappropriate question calls for inappropriate answer.
I have thought about this now though since it is the real deal and decided I will say, "Isn't that one on the list of things you should never ask a woman?"
Uhg!!! This happened to me and it was so frustrating and rude! It was also in front of a student and his Mom...not really wanting to tel anyone let alone them! I kind of got wishy washy about it and then told her later that I'm still keeping it a secret for a couple more weeks.
The same day a friend who knows said someone asked her directly and she just didn't give them a straight answer because she didn't want to lie...I wish she just would have told them.."I don't know, why don't you ask her?"
I would never ask someone unless they were very big and obviously pregnant..People are unbelievable!
I either just say no. Or I say, "No. Are you?".
