2nd Trimester
Do you get asked "When is your due date?"...
So, I work by myself in a boutique...and random ladies every now and then will ask when I'm due.
Some women will ask and then I say February, then they are like "Oh, what is it?" "A girl." Then they will talk about it and they talk about their kids, and say congrats...but some will do this...
Customer: "When is your due date?"
Me: "Oh, February."
Customer: "Oh."
and then there is this awkward silence, they don't say anything at all....lol. Why ask when my due date is? I'm not even that big yet, so they have some balls for asking...one time I was asked when I was due, and I wasnt :-( Lol, I think people are just curious and nosy.
I won't even ask a 9 month pregnant woman when her due date is because I'm scared she might not be, or might have just had her baby lol....Just thought I'd share...people crack me up

Re: Do you get asked "When is your due date?"...
i've started getting asked quite a bit...but it's baby #2 and i'm probably a lot bigger than the normal 22ish weeker! i'm visibly pregnant and haven't been surprised that i've started getting asked. with DS, it didn't happen until i was in the 30+weeks.
i answer the same way whether they ask when i'm due or what my due date is - i always say mid-february.
DD - February 2011
About 5 days after Bug was born, DH and I were leaving our apartment to go to the NICU to visit him. Our complex's head maintenance guy - who I saw almost daily, and would ask about my pregnancy, etc, goes "Oh, is it time to have the baby today?!" Talk about deflating my ego - I thought I looked GREAT haha.?
I get asked sometimes but not too often yet, even though it's usually obvious I'm pregnant.
It seems to be so common that people have a certain idea of exactly how big you should be based on how far along you are and they're so off-base.
It also seems like everyone thinks any date in 2011 is sooo far away. Some guys asked me when I was due and I said January, he says "wow, is that even within 9 months?" Um yeah, moron, it's three months away..
DD (5 years old) from IUI in 2012
TTC 3rd and final!: IUI #1 in progress!
Lol....
I was at a bon fire last week and one of my husbands friends wife asked me "Are you sure your not having twins?" (Granted she doesnt have kids yet, maybe shes not around pg woman much)
and in the same night someone told me I didn't even look 3 months pregnant lol...
People are funny...
I've only gotten it from people who know that I'm pregnant and they are just making conversation so I don't really find it weird. Although the other day I did get asked, "do you know when your due date is yet?", which I thought was kind of strange like I had just found out that I was pregnant 20 minutes earlier or something.
I guess I am pretty big for 20 weeks. People are always making comments that I still have a long way to go. Today my mom told me that a girl we know who is a few weeks ahead of me is barely showing.
So I have been very self conscious of how big my belly is getting all day today. Thanks for posting this, I'm glad I'm not alone.
I keep getting the WOW, You are going to be REALLY HUGE!!!
I also have a lot of people that ask if I am pregnant, and I tell them that I am just fat, because the ones that do that, know that I have lost a WHOLE LOT of weight, and I know they are thinking I am regaining it. I also got someone asking if I had a hernia!! LMAO!!!
i have gotten it quite a bit. it is annoying, to a point. i guess the question isn't bad, it is the comments and questions that follow. when i was 20 weeks, i saw my son's teacher from last year. she stopped me and asked how i was and she noticed my bump. she said that austin had told her that i was pregnant but she didn't know how far or anything. so she asked how far i was... i told her 20 weeks. she tells me how good i look and how she looked like crap at 20 weeks... and on she went. For like a week after, everytime i saw someone and told them i was 20 weeks, they complimented me.
WELL, in the last couple weeks, I have popped again. i am huge and no one compliments me.... i think its is funny now. People just don't get it.
Not only do I not ask people when their baby is due, I DO NOT ASK HOW THEY ARE FEELING EARLY ON BEFORE THEY START SHOWING! I had asked my boss one week.... she was about 8 weeks and she looked like crap because her morning sickness was so bad. The next week, I asked her again and she lost the baby. No one told me and she just said that she was tired. She didn't tell me. I was talking with someone about how bad her morning sickness was the week before and SHE told me that my boss miscarried! I felt terrible!
EDD 1/31/13, MC May 17. EDD 3/31/13, MC July 26. I miss you so much already my angel loves
I havent had people ask.
And Im ALL baby. I think ts quite obvious Im pregnant and actually get kinda sad people dont ask... 
Heres a story for yall- this was right after I had my dd, she was about 2 weeks old, we were at the mall and she was in a sling. This guy was asking Oh how old is she? So cute! So I see youve already got another one baking! Umm, no. *insert wierd facial expression here* "oh. So you just havent lost the weight yet?" And I just walked away. Seriously how freaking rude can you get. It wasnt even like my stomach was huge! It just wasnt totally deflated! And the way the sling was pulling at my shirt, it wasnt loose at my stomach. But seriously, i waned to SOCK HIM.
Yesterday we were picking up the crib from the store, and the lady asked when I was due. When I told her, she said, "Oh, because you don't LOOK pregnant."
Thanks.
It is really strange what people will say to a pregnant woman...I had a friend say "You don't LOOK like you've gained that much weight" and kind of patted her face...I was like, how much does she think I've gained, and hopefully my face isn't bigger at all!? And I had to say um, thanks...because she totally meant it as a compliment.
Now I'm pretty self-conscious..but I already was to begin with. I have always tried to compliment pregnant women (hell, all women) with something heartfelt and honest. Even if it's "nice earrings"
Tact peoople, that's what it's called! I only get asked my due date by people who know I'm pregnant, though...can't wait till strangers start chiming in...
