People thinking your pregnant when your not
I just had my 2nd baby 11 weeks ago. I was out with both my kids & husband during Memorial Day weekend. We run into someone my husband knew from his neighborhood growing up (I've met her before)
So she gets all excited hearing we had a new baby wanting to see him... Then she looks at my belly, POKES IT and says, "oh wow another one! Back to back, huh" 
I pretty much wanted to die, vomit and punch her in the face all at the same time lol. I don't understand whyyyyy people would just assume you are pregnant

Re: People thinking your pregnant when your not
I always say...unless you see the baby crowning, never, ever assume a woman is pregnant and say something about it to her.
People are ridiculous!!
And she's apparently not too smart either because for you to be pregnant and showing with another baby and your DC is only 11 weeks old woukd kind of mean you had to have gottwn pregnant while in labor or something!

She's obviously an idiot and I assume doesn't have kids. It doesn't matter, it hurts none the less.
I had two people make comments when DD was 3 days old! One shouted across a parking lot something about me possibly being in labor. The other could see that DD was brand new and still made a comment about how I was really having them close together. People really know how to upset a hormonal new mom.

Re: People thinking your pregnant when your not
She's just naiive.
I had a formal event I attended when my DS was about that age & people were asking me when I was due... I looked clearly pregnant (I'm decently thin) post-baby. Lots of people do. It's a fact, your uterus is still big (& it shows more on some people).
I'd smile & tell them that, in fact, people look about 6 months pregnant post baby.

Yeah I got that once too about 6wk PP. I went to an urgent care office for bronchitis, and the nurse goes, "well we need to see what's safe for you to take during pregnancy". I felt like such a dickk. Lol

Well this was my thing too.... Did she really think that was the case??? I just looked at her & said "no actually I'm still fat from my newest" 
And no she does not have kids

Re: People thinking your pregnant when your not
Yup, this happened to me three times after my 2nd kid.
The first one was when DD2 was about five weeks old; I went back to work for an end of year lunch and a male co-worker said something like, "Just wait until this baby's born..." I was like, "Ummm...do I really not look any different from five weeks ago? Really?"
The second time was when DD2 was six weeks old and I brought both girls to a kid's party. One of the other moms--who with FOUR kids of her own, mind you--congratulated me on my "pregnancy." It's like did you see my newborn I'm pushing in the snap & go?!  Didn't even apologize when I corrected her.
The last one was some random male acquaintance at a wedding eight weeks later.
The men I just chalked up as clueless. The woman...ugh. Even now, when in see her I get pissed all over again...seven years later.

This happened to my mom years and years ago and she was MORTIFIED. I think hearing the story growing up, I was always aware of what NOT to say to a woman, ever.

Re: People thinking your pregnant when your not
What an ASS! I got that several times when I went back to work after DD. I had to go back when she was only 8 weeks and it took my belly a long time to go down (hell, it's still not flat now). I had several coworkers ask me if I was pregnant again.
One was a woman, mother of two young kids herself, who decided to ask me in front of a group of about 10 coworkers. She decided to "call me out" and asked me if I was pregnant again. I laughed, made a face and said "Nope, just fat!" I hope she felt as bad as she should have.
I feel your pain.
