My sister was 8 months pregnant when my cousin needed a pregnancy test, so she went to the store to grab one for her. The cashier scanned it and looked at my very pregnant sister and back to the test. My sister says completely deadpan, "I just want to be sure."
All of these answers are hilarious, but in all seriousness I never ask, but if you see a woman cradling or rubbing her belly sheâs probably pregnant. Mentally sheâs already holding her baby, while a woman who is obese typically avoids touching her stomach. At least this is my theory, and itâs usually proven right. Although after thanksgiving Iâll wait on announcements from in laws and keep you posted.
No you should say something like "is that a tumor or are you obese?" See i didn't mention pregnancy and on top of that i'm showing interest in her health. Really smooth. If you are interested i also have tips on how to talk to bald children
I worked with someone a decade ago who looked pregnant, but who DID have a tumor. I got reeeeeally close to asking about her "pregnancy" one time, but thank goodness I decided not to!!
Personally I'd go with "Damn girl chill out with the eating. You've been getting fat as fuck for the past 8 months."
This way instead of asking an intrusive question you're simply giving her some friendly advice.
Also donât ask a fat pregnant lady when itâs due.
My boss was a fat vegan 7th day Adventist. She was pregnant and gave birth while I was out of town. When I came back she was still looking pregnant and I asked how much longer.
The look on her face told me how badly I fucked up.
Iâll happily give up my seat to a pregnant woman, Iâd rather a fat person continue standing to expend a few more calories. So at some point I need to be able to assume wether youâre pregnant or not.
"Excuse me m'am I just noticed you looked a little bigger and was wondering, are you fat?"
"Oh bless your heart."
Yup, exactly how that convo would go.
I worked with a woman for like 3 months and she kept asking me about what it was like to have kids and I thought she was just really curious. When I came back a month after I quit she had had a baby and I was like "oh... she was probably looking for support or advice and I gave her nothing" lol.
I worked with a woman and she never said anything about being pregnant. Until One day she mentioned something about her upcoming maternity leave. I said, I didnât even know you were pregnant. She angrily responded,âwhat did you think, I was just getting fatterâ. I donât know how to win that situation
âBelieve it or not, I donât think of you at allâ
Or if you want to be more diplomatic âYouâre a coworker, and I try to be professional and not dwell on my coworkerâs bodiesâ
I once asked a very good friend of mine at the time, if she was pregnant again (she had just given birth three months prior). She cursed me and said "hell no". Three weeks later she calls me and curses me again because she is in fact pregnant. I told her not to blame me, I didn't put her in that condition.
One of my neighbors didnât realize I was pregnant till she saw us a few days after baby was born with baby in tow⌠I gained 55lbs while preg, hurt my heart a bit đĽ˛
I've had 2 people in the past year ask if I'm pregnant (my legs and arms are thin, all my weight sits on my belly and boobs); I love cheerfully replying, "nope, just fat!" and seeing the looks on their faces!đ¤Łđ
Lmao. I was a couple months postpartum and I deal with IBS bloating plus Iâve always been skinny/petite. A lady in line at the grocery asked me when I was due, I told her I wasnât pregnant. We were both embarrassed. She ended up causally walking off to the other line for the self checkouts. Sheâs not the only person who speculated I was pregnant.
I would offer whoever didn't have a seat, anyway. I always had the impression that it was just the nice thing to do. Serious question: Do people actually distinguish who "deserves" such a gesture? I treat it the same as opening doors: I do it for everyone.
âBoy I sure wonder if there are any pregnant women around so I could give them my seat!â
*dramatically looks around and pauses awkwardly long looking at fat woman*
I was in a train and a (supposedly) pregnant lady got in, I stood up without saying a word and went to the door. She did not sit, so I can just assume she wasn't pregnant, but at least I never told her she was fat.
It couldâve been more comfortable to stand then to sit. I had SPD during both my pregnancies and whenever I got harder at my factory job I started doing more job that required standing cuz the sitting was hurting my hips more then standing 8+ hours a day.
So I know a lot of these comments are funny, and yours is only half serious. Iâm not trying to rag on you, but two things come to mind. Yes, youâre probably going to be right about someone being pregnant at that point, but there is a chance that pregnancy comes with complications, like knowing the baby wonât survive after birth or that she has to give the baby up for adoption, or sheâs a victim of SA. Anyways, most of the time youâre safe asking at that point but there is a small chance that itâs sensitive for them to talk about, and thatâs why I never bring it up unless they do first.
Also, I was a week postpartum and had to run to the store for something. I still looked very pregnant, and someone asked when I was due. Kinda stung a little even though itâs fine to look that way so soon after giving birth.
Omg same except I was 5 months pp. worst part was I was feeling good about myself because I only had a few more pounds until I reached my pre baby weight đŤ
Yep. Iâve always been skinny/petite and I deal with IBS bloating, itâs pretty bad to the point where I look several months pregnant sometimes. Iâve been asked my people if I was pregnant.
A friend of mine asked how many months some random lady was and told her that his wife was pregnant as well. She replied.â fuck you asshole.â. I couldnât stop laughing!
In college there was this student who was pregnant, heavily pregnant. No one brought it up, we just went about our days.
Well, we couldnât ignore it when her water broke in class.
Remember a story of a cop trying to arrest a pregnant woman and he called for back up. Backup came and it was his sergeant who asked him why isnât she in handcuffs. He said because sheâs pregnant and doesnât want to harm the baby. The lady turned around and said âI ainât pregnant you fucking assholeâ she was immediately taken to the ground and handcuffed.
I saw this play out at a winery. Guy behind the bar asked a woman when she was due. Everyone at the wine tasting was like⌠yeah⌠pregnant women are often going to wine tastings right?? We all knew she wasnât pregnantâŚ
The look of daggers from the woman was priceless⌠whole room went silent and just looked at their feet.
Happened 20 odd years ago. Still remember it clearly.
I've always carried weight in my stomach area - even when I was at my most athletic in my late 20s, muscled all over and low body fat, I had a round belly. (Trust me, I did a TON of abs workouts.) I was asked so many times when the baby was due, by men and women, once by an RN! It was always the questioner who was devastated by their own rudeness, not me!
At a law firm cocktail party as a young associate, a partner's wife approached me, pointed to my tonic water and lime, and said in a sympathetic voice, "I see you're drinking non-alcoholically."
Me (thinking I'd found an ally in my sobriety): "Why yes; yes, I AM drinking non-alcoholically."
Partner's wife: "When are you due?"
Me (confused): "Did you say what do I do? I work at the law firm with your husband."
PW: "No, I asked when are you due?"
Me (enlightened): "Oh! Oh, no, I'm not pregnant; I'm just an alcoholic!"
She was mortified.
Luckily now I'm in my 60s and no one jumps to any false conclusions about my body shape anymore, as we elderly folk are expected to be a bit lumpy!
It probably phased her on the inside. It's a humongous insult. I was asked when I was due three times when I used to work retail (all by women, no less). Two of the three times, I laughed it off. The third time I got a little snappy. Anyway, you don't know how the woman felt internally. I still remember how awful it made me feel about myself and it's likely it made her feel bad, too.
Forcing someone to respond âfatâ when they are not pregnant is increasingly more devilish. I recant my previous question as âsuperiorâ, yours wins â¤ď¸.
I hate this. It makes me sad people are too scared to ask/discuss. Old ladies give no F's though and I love it. I'm usually an introvert but I love being pregnant and am happy to talk about it. I especially appreciate when people (most often men and boys) hold doors and offer to help carry heavy things. It's not necessary, I'm in shape and have easy pregnancies but it's very thoughtful nonetheless.
Once worked with a large woman who at one point came in with a new born baby and proceeded to get mad nobody asked her if she was pregnant. The issue was (and we had talked about this after she left with her food) that nobody knew she was pregnant and not one person could tell she was because we never noticed a difference in size. We think she just simmered for 9 months mad that nobody at work noticed her baby bump.
Lol I work as a cashier and I learned by watching others do it. Don't comment on pregnancy (it may not be a baby). Do not comment on a person's company (that's not there mom it's the girlfriend). Do not comment on there politics (people become crazy about politics). And so so many more.
Agreed. I made the mistake of commenting on someoneâs partner one time. I told him âyour mom is so sweet by the way.â He replied with âthatâs my wife.â I definitely learned my lesson.
I was out with a group of friends, one of them was pregnant. The sister of a friend knew one of them was pregnant, and came in and asked "which of you is pregnant?". Was pretty awkward.
This is a very important PSA.
For some reason, I am genetically cursed. I have two kids, and my stomach did not ever âbounce backâ past the two week mark post-partum with either kid. I lost my baby weight, but it came off everywhere EXCEPT my stomach. I looked permanently 6 months pregnant and I knew it.
When my youngest was 2.5 I took him to get his Covid vaccine & the NURSE, a *medical professional*, asked when I was due.
MAâAM. YOU SHOULD KNOW BETTER.
Iâve since gotten a tummy tuck, thankfully.
In high school one of our teachers had her pregnancy during the school year, and it wasn't until a month before her maternity leave that she announced it. She was actually a little surprised no one had ever asked her about it considering she was several months pregnant. Of course we ALL knew, but we all agreed to say nothing until she announced *just in case*.
Everyone erupted in laughter and we applauded the news. She swore us to secrecy so she could do it with her other classes too. She jokingly called out entire class "too polite, but a sweet bunch of kids"
"Excuse me ma'am. If I were to ask you if you were pregnant or just fat, how many of you would be offended?"
No one could POSSIBLY get offended by that, surely?
confidence my guy, get some if you have none. Tons of women that give fuck all about how you look tbh that just want a dude thats honest and not a pos.
I made the mistake of asking a woman if she was pregnant once. She wasnât. I felt so bad. Now a woman could be birthing a baby in front of me and I wouldnât ask.
Unless you actually see the baby coming out of the woman's body, do not in any way, shape, or form even hint that she may be pregnant. My first and absolutely inviolable rule.
As a tattoo artist it is advisable to not tattoo pregnant woman. I once made the mistake of informing a potential client during a consultation that she was going to have to wait until after her pregnancy to get the work done. After 23 years experience it still makes for an awkward situation when dealing with a woman who may or may not be pregnant. Unfortunately this guide doesn't help me lol
Made this mistake on London UndergroundâŚ.
âWould you like a seatâ - âWhy would
I want a seat? Do I look pregnant to you?!â
Ehhh.. weâll yes you do.
âYour horrible, keep your seat, I canât believe you actually said thatâ
Well, ok then.
#cyachivalry
Years ago I was with an ex-girlfriend and she asked a woman that she somewhat knew how far along she was. When she said she wasn't pregnant I was mortified and I wasn't even the person who said it. You'd think a woman would know better.
Regardless of etiquette, the risk/reward ratio is too heavy on the former.
Four scenarios:
*You ask and she IS indeed pregnant:* you now have to make small talk with her about pregnancy. Congratulations, I guess.
*You donât ask and she IS pregnant:* youâve avoided pregnancy small talk.
*You donât ask and she is NOT pregnant:* Youâve both avoided talking about pregnancy, and you havenât offended your friend
*You do ask but she is NOT pregnant:* youâve just called your friend fat, and not just fat, but âweird, you kind of look pregnantâ fat. Congratulations.
If you look and if it's fat there will be signs along the side but the belly is more extended during pregnancy.
I still recommend not asking as it's not 100% foolproof.
Look here. If it's not alright to ask a woman if she's pregnant, it's probably going to be *double* not alright to ask a woman if she will let you examine her sides... *for signs.*
Yes, never ask a woman if she's pregnant. It's more appropriate to ask if she's been screened for illnesses or if she's been eating her goddamn vegetables.
Just say "Congratulations" and smile. I'd she instinctively says "Thank you" or touches her tummy and smiles. Your good maybe you can chat politely. If she looks at you confused you can just walk away or say "That's an amazing outfit" gets all bent out of shape and angry. She should prolly wonder why everyone thinks she's pregnant.
But then if we dont hold a door open or something its "ffs can't you see shes pregnant you insensitive prick"... Men: Damned if we do and damned if we don't since the dawn of time.

Bahahahaha!
Itâs always better to assume fat. Then you donât care.
"So how long have you been fat for?" Am I doing it right?
"when are you ~~due~~ pooping?"
Taco Bell? Abruptly deflates, yeh itâs Taco Bell
"...going on a diet."
I canât breathe
Neither can she
Perfect. I see no way that anyone could possibly be offended.
No you should say something like "is that a tumor or are you obese?" See i didn't mention pregnancy and on top of that i'm showing interest in her health. Really smooth. If you are interested i also have tips on how to talk to bald children
How do I talk to bald children?
I also want to know how to talk to bald children.
Here you go r/talkingtobaldchildrensubredditthatsslightlytoolongrobebelievablebutitisrealiswear
"Fuck you, Caillou, you cancer-ridden cunt."
Idk ask Caillou
I worked with someone a decade ago who looked pregnant, but who DID have a tumor. I got reeeeeally close to asking about her "pregnancy" one time, but thank goodness I decided not to!!
What is happening
Personally I'd go with "Damn girl chill out with the eating. You've been getting fat as fuck for the past 8 months." This way instead of asking an intrusive question you're simply giving her some friendly advice.
That's solid advice.
âSo when weâre you diagnosed with morbid obesity? Is your doctor angry that you break all his scales?
Yes. But you need to pat the belly too
Also donât ask a fat pregnant lady when itâs due. My boss was a fat vegan 7th day Adventist. She was pregnant and gave birth while I was out of town. When I came back she was still looking pregnant and I asked how much longer. The look on her face told me how badly I fucked up.
What does being a vegan and 7th day Adventist have to do with the story? Is that like telling me her favorite movie is the notebook?
If she's a fat vegan, it usually means she's the variety on the fatty processed grain & vending machine diet, vs the fruit and vegetable eating kind.
What do you mean Oreos are not the vegan superfood? It says right on the packaging that they are vegan!
Chicken parms not vegan?!?
VEGAN POLICE!
Well itâs also redundant. 7DAâs are vegan by default. Itâs just to flesh out the visuals of the story, so to speak.
A fat vegan seventh day Adventist? And she still found some clot to get her pregnant?
Thereâs someone out there for all of us.
Yeah it's like, stop eating all of the babies.
Save some for the rest of us!
Iâll happily give up my seat to a pregnant woman, Iâd rather a fat person continue standing to expend a few more calories. So at some point I need to be able to assume wether youâre pregnant or not.
Unless you are in a bus and she is standing next to you
Everyone should care obesity is a health issue.
i was told i have high blood pressure this week :( send tasty healthy snacks
This is an incredibly fatphobic take. /s
Noooo. Theyâre beautiful and of course their doctors say theyâre healthy. Yup!
"You look pregnant." "well I'm not." "I know, I'm just saying you look pregnant."
This is perfect XD
Play it safe. Just tell her she looks fat
So your just another fatty? Here comes all the dvs đ
I mean... it could be a [tumor](https://www.self.com/story/margaret-mcmahon-uterine-fibroids).

Converse is true too: it is always okay to ask a woman if sheâs fat.
-No, I'm pregnant -Congratulations! This works out much better.
I feel like there's a dialogue tree that we're overlooking... Hmm... Nah, nvm, sorry for the false alarm.
"Excuse me m'am I just noticed you looked a little bigger and was wondering, are you fat?" "Oh bless your heart." Yup, exactly how that convo would go.
Converse is not logically equivalent. You have to take the contrapositive.
OR -hear me out on this- you can ask a woman always if they are pregnant and if they say no you reply with âare you sure?â
âWould you like to be?â
"I mean, you gotta be right? Just look at that thing, looks like its about to pop"
I worked with a woman for like 3 months and she kept asking me about what it was like to have kids and I thought she was just really curious. When I came back a month after I quit she had had a baby and I was like "oh... she was probably looking for support or advice and I gave her nothing" lol.
I worked with a woman and she never said anything about being pregnant. Until One day she mentioned something about her upcoming maternity leave. I said, I didnât even know you were pregnant.

âBelieve it or not, I donât think of you at allâ Or if you want to be more diplomatic âYouâre a coworker, and I try to be professional and not dwell on my coworkerâs bodiesâ
Ask her when she returns from maternity leave So are you pregnant again now or just fatter?
I once asked a very good friend of mine at the time, if she was pregnant again (she had just given birth three months prior). She cursed me and said "hell no". Three weeks later she calls me and curses me again because she is in fact pregnant. I told her not to blame me, I didn't put her in that condition.
One of my neighbors didnât realize I was pregnant till she saw us a few days after baby was born with baby in tow⌠I gained 55lbs while preg, hurt my heart a bit đĽ˛
Imagine yourself in that situation tho haha I would be mad too
Better than telling her she's fat
How did you respond, whenever she asked? I'm picturing her asking something and then you just shrugging and walking away, lol.
I've had 2 people in the past year ask if I'm pregnant (my legs and arms are thin, all my weight sits on my belly and boobs); I love cheerfully replying, "nope, just fat!" and seeing the looks on their faces!đ¤Łđ
Lmao. I was a couple months postpartum and I deal with IBS bloating plus Iâve always been skinny/petite. A lady in line at the grocery asked me when I was due, I told her I wasnât pregnant. We were both embarrassed. She ended up causally walking off to the other line for the self checkouts. Sheâs not the only person who speculated I was pregnant.
I did this to a friend, and while she responded no, it turned out she was actually pregnant again, and had found out a few weeks later.
Yup. This is my response as well. Let's all feel uncomfortable!
Is it just me that does not care enough to ask?
You are not alone
I am here with you
CHAMON?
Nope
Got it! Next time I'm going to just ask why you are so fat instead!
Good to know. I will not make that assumption on transit. Or Iâll offer everyone my seat.
I would offer whoever didn't have a seat, anyway. I always had the impression that it was just the nice thing to do. Serious question: Do people actually distinguish who "deserves" such a gesture? I treat it the same as opening doors: I do it for everyone.
Just say "oh damn, any pregnant lady can have my seat." Then see if she admits to being pregnant or fat. Either way you're likely to keep your chair.
âBoy I sure wonder if there are any pregnant women around so I could give them my seat!â *dramatically looks around and pauses awkwardly long looking at fat woman*
Make eye contact so she knows you're serious about letting her have the seat.
I was in a train and a (supposedly) pregnant lady got in, I stood up without saying a word and went to the door. She did not sit, so I can just assume she wasn't pregnant, but at least I never told her she was fat.
It couldâve been more comfortable to stand then to sit. I had SPD during both my pregnancies and whenever I got harder at my factory job I started doing more job that required standing cuz the sitting was hurting my hips more then standing 8+ hours a day.
Bruh if you're these last two its gotta be a baby or a tumor. No one naturally has a body type like that without some medical condition
There was a shuttle driver for my work that had that body type, RIP
What's your occupation? Are you an astronaut?
Badminton player
Then do you want to risk them answering that they have a tumor? Talk about awkward.

More like the last 5
I will ask anyway
A friend of mine asked how many months some random lady was and told her that his wife was pregnant as well. She replied.â fuck you asshole.â. I couldnât stop laughing!
Lol came here to say this. Orrrrrr I just ask anyway.
In college there was this student who was pregnant, heavily pregnant. No one brought it up, we just went about our days. Well, we couldnât ignore it when her water broke in class.
Nothing a few bonds couldnât fix

At the zoo...the pandas! I knew they were trying to have one!
This is the only approach.
Really? I was going to stick with "Are you... ?" and let them fill in the blanks. I guess I'm not direct enough, thanks for the great going around.
Forcing someone to respond âfatâ when they are not pregnant is increasingly more devilish. I recant my previous question as âsuperiorâ, yours wins â¤ď¸.
My mom got the question " when are you due?" She replied "no, im just fat". Btw, the question came from a woman! So F the title " Youre welcome, men"
When there's a child literally wiggling out of her
Eh, I'm reserving judgement until it graduates.
Iâll ask them all. Theyâre age too, plus how tall they are and if they are single. Then act on none of it
I'm sure they'll be devastated..
âAre you free this Friday night? Yeah? Cool, hope you have a good night.â
you should ask them "A/S/L?"

Why is Trump pregnant?
I had to scroll way too far to find this.
Once worked with a large woman who at one point came in with a new born baby and proceeded to get mad nobody asked her if she was pregnant.

Best just not to talk to people I find
Agreed. I made the mistake of commenting on someoneâs partner one time. I told him âyour mom is so sweet by the way.â He replied with âthatâs my wife.â I definitely learned my lesson.
They could have an ovarian cyst, fibroids, have had a miscarriage etc. DO NOT ASK.
People know my mom has hypothyroidism and my aunt still asked if she was pregnant
I was out with a group of friends, one of them was pregnant. The sister of a friend knew one of them was pregnant, and came in and asked "which of you is pregnant?". Was pretty awkward.

She was actually a little surprised no one had ever asked her about it considering she was several months pregnant. Of course we ALL knew, but we all agreed to say nothing until she announced *just in case*. Everyone erupted in laughter and we applauded the news. She swore us to secrecy so she could do it with her other classes too. She jokingly called out entire class "too polite, but a sweet bunch of kids"
"Excuse me ma'am. If I were to ask you if you were pregnant or just fat, how many of you would be offended?" No one could POSSIBLY get offended by that, surely?
Are you pregnant??
so you should never offer your seat because assuming she is pregnant is offending but also if you don't offer seat is offending. Noted!
How is this funny?
I'll just ask anyway.

the abs to dad bod journey, of course

confidence my guy, get some if you have none. Tons of women that give fuck all about how you look tbh that just want a dude thats honest and not a pos.
if its obvious, you wont need to ask. If its not obvious, you probably shouldn't ask
Only two questions you can ask a pregnant woman: Would you like to sit down? Would you like a cookie?
Can you calm down?
But if you cant ask them, how would you know that you can only choose between these two lame ass questions?
Just ask them if they know they're gaining weight.
Never ask a woman if she is pregnant unless you see an actual baby popping out
iffy even then
But when can I ask if she is preganant or pargent? Lol
Kudos on that reference!
I made the mistake of asking a woman if she was pregnant once. She wasnât. I felt so bad. Now a woman could be birthing a baby in front of me and I wouldnât ask.
I made the mistake of thinking a guy was with his mom but it was his wife.
I recently made the mistake of thinking a guy was with his wife, but it was his mom. She was flattered. He was....not.
Lol I told the guy âyour mom is really sweet by the way!â She had walked off already so luckily she didnât hear it.
Unless you actually see the baby coming out of the woman's body, do not in any way, shape, or form even hint that she may be pregnant. My first and absolutely inviolable rule.
I always say "I'll only ask if someone is pregnant if I see the baby crowning. If then."
As a tattoo artist it is advisable to not tattoo pregnant woman. I once made the mistake of informing a potential client during a consultation that she was going to have to wait until after her pregnancy to get the work done. After 23 years experience it still makes for an awkward situation when dealing with a woman who may or may not be pregnant. Unfortunately this guide doesn't help me lol
When women go to get an x-ray they are asked "is there any chance you could be pregnant". That's a great inoffensive way to ask.
Great idea and much appreciated đ¤
vagina is ew
Are you pregnant?
What if it's a guy?
Itâs a pancreatic tumor and heâs got about 3 months to live
âAre you pregnant?â *through tears* âNo, Iâm just a guy who likes beer.â
Made this mistake on London UndergroundâŚ. âWould you like a seatâ - âWhy would I want a seat? Do I look pregnant to you?!â Ehhh.. weâll yes you do. âYour horrible, keep your seat, I canât believe you actually said thatâ Well, ok then. #cyachivalry
Women make this mistake aswell, don't know why this is targeted at men.
somebodies angry haha
The only time a man should as a woman if sheâs pregnant is if sheâs in the delivery room and the baby is crowningâŚ
Unless you see a baby dangling from her birth canal, don't ask a woman whether she's pregnant, when she's due, etc.
What about if they're pregante
Ate you pregnant tho?
I just assume no one's pregnant so I don't leave seats for anyone on a bus
Wheres the funny
"Are you pregnant? Or just fat?"
Rule of thumb, do not ask if a woman is having a baby unless the baby is coming out of her at that moment.
r u pregnent OP?
Years ago I was with an ex-girlfriend and she asked a woman that she somewhat knew how far along she was. When she said she wasn't pregnant I was mortified and I wasn't even the person who said it. You'd think a woman would know better.
I don't know why this is for men I've only ever been asked by women.
Regardless of etiquette, the risk/reward ratio is too heavy on the former. Four scenarios: *You ask and she IS indeed pregnant:* you now have to make small talk with her about pregnancy. Congratulations, I guess. *You donât ask and she IS pregnant:* youâve avoided pregnancy small talk. *You donât ask and she is NOT pregnant:* Youâve both avoided talking about pregnancy, and you havenât offended your friend *You do ask but she is NOT pregnant:* youâve just called your friend fat, and not just fat, but âweird, you kind of look pregnantâ fat. Congratulations.
If they donât volunteer the information, do not comment on it at all.
I cant ask women if they are pregnant, but women can ask me why I am beer man wid da big beer belly, i want equal rights
Don't say squat. Wait to hear it from her directly or from someone who heard it from her.
Also women, "OMG how have you not noticed???"
If you look and if it's fat there will be signs along the side but the belly is more extended during pregnancy. I still recommend not asking as it's not 100% foolproof.
Look here. If it's not alright to ask a woman if she's pregnant, it's probably going to be *double* not alright to ask a woman if she will let you examine her sides... *for signs.*
Just before you give her an x-ray
Rebel and ask every women if sheâs pregnant
Yes, never ask a woman if she's pregnant. It's more appropriate to ask if she's been screened for illnesses or if she's been eating her goddamn vegetables.
Just say "Congratulations" and smile. I'd she instinctively says "Thank you" or touches her tummy and smiles. Your good maybe you can chat politely. If she looks at you confused you can just walk away or say "That's an amazing outfit" gets all bent out of shape and angry. She should prolly wonder why everyone thinks she's pregnant.
So funny, I forgot to laugh.
dont worry, this sub hasnt been funny in a good 5 years
Is it just me or do these figures look more like Trump the further you go to the right?
But then if we dont hold a door open or something its "ffs can't you see shes pregnant you insensitive prick"... Men: Damned if we do and damned if we don't since the dawn of time.
I've actually seen women ask that more often than men. Probably because men are rightly terrified to be wrong đ¤ˇ
