How do you handle it if someone asks if you're pregnant before you are "out"?
Has anyone had to face this? I am honestly shocked at the gall of some people. I am currently about 6.5/7 weeks pregnant with #3. I have had at least 4-5 people (mostly coworkers) already ask me flat out if I am pregnant, for varying reasons. I feel really uncomfortable saying no for some reason- it feels weird. But, we haven't even told our families yet, so I am certainly not going to admit it to them. I try to find some way to make them believe I am saying no without really saying no. Am I the only weirdo who has this issue?  For example, I was at a bridal shower a couple weeks ago and, after I went to the bathroom for the second time (which I really didn't think was crazy in like a 4 hour period!), my friend said, "Geez you're peeing a lot- are you pregnant??" So I just laughed and said, "Oh, I've always been a frequent pee-er." Anyone else have creative answers??

A simple "are you?" Always works.

when i was pregnant with DD, i would just look at my outfit and say "ugh i knew i looked fat in this" or to make them uncomfortable, say "Why, do i look fat in this???"

I guess a few people have commented to one co-worker I am close to, but no one has said anything to my face. They are curious because I have no been running. That is not really due to being pregnant though, it is due to infertility treatments.

Same exact boat here. IT has happened three times in the last 2 weeks and I am about 6.5/ 7 weeks pregnant! Havent even gone to the OB yet to confirm. Anyway.. each time I have been so caught by surprise and just automatically said "no" .. although I feel weird about it too. I just haven't been able to t hink quickly enough to say anything else!

I couldn't bring myself to lie, like it was a bad omen or something.
So I wound up giving in. Luckily it happened only once and it was while I was out of town at a friends wedding so it wasn't anyone that knew my family. I told my family and close friends when we got back lol

Someone ask me if I was pregnant at six weeks. I told them no I'm just fat. That shut them up real quick. I totally think it's rude to ask especially as early as I was.

I had a friend ask me and I told her. She knew we were trying- I asked her not to say anything since it was very early.

Sad smile.
"That's a really terrible question to ask someone."
