Has anyone asked if you are pregnant yet?

I am just over 19 weeks and until yesterday hadn't told anyone I was expecting. I've put on about 15 lbs but to me I just look fat not pregnant.  Well yesterday my boss (who has been out of the office for the past month and 1/2) asked.  Some people are so brave - I would never have the nerve to ask even if it was completely obvious.  So now my boss knows.  Guess I will have to tell the family (even though they may be wondering already) but not until after the holidays.  No WAY do I want to spend an entire weekend with my in-laws (both sides DH parents are divorced) answering a million questions and hearing their unsolicited advice.  So my question to you ladies is how many of you are noticably pregnant to people that know you? And has anyone that you haven't told had the nerve to ask?

    I'm actually so huge people don't have to ask if I'm pregnant, they come out and ask when I'm due, or if I know if it's a boy or girl yet lol. Or if it's twins!!!

    I just started getting asked last week, but even then I've only been asked twice.

    I can hide it under hoodies, but if I wear a t-shirt or anything else...it shows.  I told at 11 weeks, but I really don't like a lot of attention so I haven't been wearing my maternity shirts to work.  I have been visibily pregnant since 17 weeks.

    I didn't think it was noticeable yet, but a couple weeks ago an older man (a stranger) was chatting away at the pharmacy when he saw me out of the corner of his eye and said "Oh my! Yay for you! When is baby coming?"

    Yep, a few strangers have asked.  I think it's really ballsy- I would never do that unless the woman was skinny all over and visibly 40 weeks and rubbing her belly or something and there was no questioning it. 

    DH has a mean sense of humor.. I've had to stop him from saying, "OMG what are you calling my wife fat??  She's not pregnant!". Lol....

    I had my first person ask me last week when I was at the pet store! It put such a hugh smile on my face because I knew that I was offially showing and not just looking thick around the middle =)

    I called H as soon as I left the store and told him, he just started laughing and said it was cute I was so excited about that. haha!

    I've told everybody by now, but I haven't had any strangers ask yet. I think it's because I've been wearing bulky clothes due to the cold so I probably just look fat!

    I've been asked only once, by the cashier at JC Penney.....It made me smile! Big Smile

    Everyone who knows me says it's obvious but if we'd never met, you'd just think I have a little food belly.

    No one asks so much as just touches my stomach or asks questions about new baby. This is round two for me and it is very obvious I am pregnant.

    I have had 2 strangers ask when my baby was due. I think 1 was because I was rubbing my stomach while walking around her little pottery store shopping.  The other lady was our waitress at IHOP.  I don't know if it was the maternity shirt that accents the bump or the fact that I ordered like 5 different things off the menu and had a panic attack when I worried I would get the wrong type of chocolate chip pancakes haha.

    No one has asked me yet and only my sister knows I'm pregnant. Waiting until christmas to tell them via holiday cards/finding Isaac a big brother shirt (difficult to find one under 3T for those that want their kids close in age).

    You haven't told ANYONE?! Wow. I kinda considered doing that next time around haha 

    No one is asking me if I'm pregnant yet. Unless someone else says something about my pregnancy. Then they go "YOU'RE PREGNANT?!" because they don't notice my bump. (sad face because I love my little bump)

    YES! My husbands older brother.. I haven't gained any weight so far. I am over weight and somehow maintaining the same pre pregnancy weight. I am currently 18w3d pregnant. I have little to do with my husbands family, so it was a rare occassion that I was at my mother in laws house to even begin with. Out of nowhere and off topic, My brother in law says "So I thought you were suppost to be pregnant?" I was shocked! I could only respond with a dirty look & a simple "I am!" Really tho who the heck asks? Personally NOT ME.. If that person wanted me to know  then they would personally tell me, right?

    I am due May 1st so I am almost 21 weeks.  I havent had anybody ask me if I am pregnant yet.  Depending on what I wear, most days I just look fat.
