I am 36 years old and I have had several ppl ask me if my pregnancy was planned. I think it is a completely rude and personal question to ask me, yet I don't know how to answer it without going off. I guess the Christian thing to say is that God planned this baby!
With my last baby (she's 18 months old) a coworker said to me, "This baby was accident, right? You had IUD, right?" Um, no. We tried for 2 years to conceive her and I have never had an IUD. I couldn't believe it. My OB asked me if this pregnancy was planned and looked surprised when I told her it was.
someone at church notice for the first time I am pregnant and caused a big scene. she was like oh no oh no Omg I would be so depressed if I were you. I'm looking at her like how ignorant can you be. I don't need your permission or your money to have as many babies as my husband and I want. this was by far the worst reaction I've had during my pregnancy. O did I mention she feel out on the chair all dramatic!
People have all kinds of rude questions and and comments for pregnant women. I have no idea why some people are so ridiculous. I got, "you want a 3rd??? Are you nuts???"

Oh no! That's terrible. I haven't announced it to the world yet. I've been pretty open with my friends and some coworkers about my fertility issues, so I don't think it will be a big surprise. I know I'll probably get some crappy comments though. I've had people give me a hard time for waiting until my age and imply that it was selfish of me. That always sets me off. DH was in law school and we were trying to get situated before. Plus, it's none of their business. It's a sore subject with me!

wow! so much rudeness.
and I must be the oddball - I would think that about a 21 or 22 year old woman, but NOT a 36 or 39 year old one!
I cringe at a young pregnancy (can they afford it, will the marriage last, did they finish college?) more than an older one.
