Pregnancy and Miscellaneous: And I oop

And I oop

Today, I met one of my fiancé's coworkers. Normally I'd never ask how far along someone's pregnancy is without being 100% sure they're not just fat, but she seemed fit. Well, I now know that virtually all the fat in some people's bodies can go straight to their gut and nowhere else. FML

Today, at school, one of my students confidently told me that I "wasn't hiding my baby bump very well anymore." I'm not pregnant. Just fat, apparently. FML

Today, I bumped into an old school friend. I'd heard she was pregnant so the first thing I did was congratulate her. Not only was she not pregnant, but the reason she managed to get so fat was because of comfort eating due to her miscarriage last month. FML

Today, I attended my husband's holiday brunch at a company I also used to work for. I was excited to see former coworkers until one raced up, grabbed my belly, and in front of a crowded room, exclaimed, "You're pregnant!" Nope, just older and a bit fatter. FML

Body double

Today, I realised that my friend and I have the same cute, round belly. The problem is that she’s seven months pregnant and I’ve been on a diet with an intensive gym program since January. FML

Today, I was proudly telling my husband that I only gained 8 lbs throughout the pregnancy thus far. I usually obsess over my weight, so it was a great accomplishment for me. He then turned and pinched my arms, saying, "Well, looks like all the fat migrated to your arms." FML

Today, I dragged my son along with me to a work party because I didn't want him home by himself. Halfway through, he stood up and made an announcement about my pregnancy. I had to explain to all my coworkers and my boss that I'm not pregnant, I'm just fat. FML

Big announcement?

Today, I met my SO's best friend for the first time. He gave us both a big smile and hug, and congratulated us on the pregnancy. Except… I'm just overweight, not pregnant. The entire two hour drive to his house was spent with me trying to hold back tears, and a very awkward silence between them. FML

Today, after losing five pounds from being sick, my first customer at work greeted me with, “Aaaahhhh, you’re expecting!” I’m not pregnant. I guess I didn’t lose my gut. FML

Even if the person seems fit, you still NEVER ask, as bodies can be very deceiving. You should have listened to your own rule.

I just follow the rule of never EVER asking ANY woman if she's pregnant unless the words "I am pregnant" come out of her mouth.

Okay, so it sucks that it happened, but your username is pretty offensive considering that I'm torn on whether or not it's an FYL or a YDI. Porkers gonna pork?

Never understood how anyone can make that mistake. Even if all the fat went to the stomach the shape of a pregnant stomach and a fat stomach are totally different.

Remember, unless you can see the baby crowning, you never ask anyone whether they are pregnant or how far along are they.

When I was a teenager, a friend, Steve, had a mother barely 40. One day Steve and I were leaving their house (mom was just outside the door and we were next to Steve's car) and I asked Steve discretely if his mother was pregnant..Steve looked curious for a moment, turned to his mother, "Hey Mom! unclewilly wants to know if you're pregnant!" "No, unclewilly, I'm just fat!" she replied. So I never mention it to anyone anymore. As a postscript, within a year she was back to fighting weight and looked pretty good.

That'd be what they call an apple shaped body. FYL but now you know

It doesn't really seem like you feel bad about it, given your username. So that combined with your decision not to follow your own rule means YDI.

To quote the wise comedian Brian Reagan, "don't guess at that ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever."

Women with IBS - Inflamed Bowel Syndrome can really look pregnant. One more reason not to ask, as nobody wants to have to explain that they are either fat or having a medical condition, which btw happens to be linked to huge amount of stress.
