I was just kind of curious what kinds of questions people ask you while you are/were pregnant. Here are some i have been asked lately and answers that make me laugh.

Do you know how it happened? *No, i dont have a clue what happened. Can you tell me.

Do you know what you're having?  *Yes, it is definitely a baby.

Did you have the baby yet? *this answer will depend on if you still are huge and obviously still pregnant or you are carrying a carseat or pushing a stroller. lol

What are questions you have been asked?

With my daughter I was asked a lot if I was going to keep it (what I jerky question to ask someone), if I was still with the father (again WTF kind of question is that), and if I was having twins or if I was ready to pop any day (are you trying to call me fat?). With this baby I've been asked if I we were trying to get pregnant (is that any of your buisness?), if I realise what birth control is for (Duh! we were trying but even if I wasn't I won't take birth control cause it makes me horribly sick), and how much weight I've gained (please never ask a woman about her weight). I can't believe the questions people all of a sudden think they can ask you just because you're pregnant. Oh and with this baby I also got asked if me and my fiance were still planning our wedding for next year or if we were calling it off. Why in the world would us purposefully adding a new addition into our family stop us from getting married?

 I've been asked:
"Do you know what you're having?"  At 7 weeks.
"Aren't you young?"/ "Why aren't you married"  Well I'm 23, and I didn't realize you needed a marriage license to concieve.
"Are you going to keep it?"  Um, yea, if I'm excited enough to tell you with a big smile on my face...I'm probably going to keep the little one.
"Are you going to breast feed?"  My boobies and how I use them are my business
"Aren't you too fat to get pregnant?"  Yes, I'm heavy.  Yes, I gained almost 40 lbs before I got pregnant due to a medical/ medicine issue....but the last time I checked, I still menstrate.
"You realize you don't have a job?"  Nooooo that escaped my mind! 
"Are you having twins?"  No.  And that question is especially hard on you when your own mother asks.
"You just lost a baby...that was God's way of saying "you're not ready."  Not a question...but it's hurtful.

"Wow.  You're due in August!?!  You're going to be huge!"  It's not a question again...but I started showing early...around 10 weeks...and I look like I'm about to pop already.  Don't comment on my weight.  It only leads to me crying for hours and hating the person who said it.

When we first found out & would tell people (smiling & obviously excited...) They would say, "Oh... is that a good thing?" And my Grandma, God bless her, actually asked me when I was close to my due date, "Well when are you going to go to the hospital?" Um, whenever he decides to come out? LOL...
