35 People Who Asked Such Uncomfortable Questions About Pregnancy, Women Just Had To Share Them In This Thread

Appropriately inappropriate. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Man, I wish I had thought of that while being manhandled by weirdo's - guys wife is a legend! Why do folk think it's ok to start touching a pregnant belly? I don't think I've ever met a single person who enjoyed strangers hands on their belly

Absolutely perfect!

This kind of thing happens way too often. I have no idea what it is about pregnancy that makes people suddenly think it's ok to touch a stranger's belly.

As funny as this seems, it’s really not. There is a massive difference between a belly being touched and a breast being grabbed. One is just harassment while the other is sexual harassment. NEITHER should be done.

Evil enough to think such things let alone say it openly.

Ah, yes, the fun of dis/ableism. I've been asked about my sex-life too, as if they were shocked I could have it or if anyone wanted to sleep with me. I've also had many people assume I can't have children because of my impariments. Actually, I can quite easily have children (or as easy as any woman might find it) but we simply don't want children.

That's just horrible!

Oh and if you have any obvious disability during pregnancy, they consider it carte blanche to ask it in public in the loudest tone possible! I was asked how I ever managed to have s e x ( it really was not difficult) I replied s e x swing!!!!

Man, I'm so sorry people are judging you. But good luck with the baby!

This is gross misconduct at any bank, checking someones banking records for your own purposes. I hope you told them why you closed your account, because SIL could be invading the privacy of anyone else who banks there.

I'm pretty sure that what she did is illegal. I would report her.

The checking to see if she changed her name yet would alone cause me to want to punch her. What a miserable shrew of a woman.

I certainly hope that she's a ex-sil now. I'm surprised that you didn't report her to her boss. Maybe getting fired would have gotten her out of your business.

I work for a bank and you are not allowed to look up accounts or even take a call from someone if you know them. She could absolutely be fired for this and while OP might not want to cause that kind of rift, she should make the SIL aware that she will report her if she ever does it again. All banks have tracking software and we can all search the 'activity' to see who is in an account at any given time and it will even tell you what they were doing. She can go any time to her branch and ask to find out. And I would seriously talk to your husband about changing banks. If my SIL was going through my private purchases without my permission there'd be hell to pay. She has no right to invade my privacy like that. There's sensitive info in a bank account, nevermind if there were purchases I wouldn't want her see. Or what if she had a private bank account she didn't want her husband to know about because he had a gambling problem or something? Ugh this infuriates me.

My lil brother and his wife have been together since high school, they both adore children, in my mind I always wondered how they do not have children yet, I assumed they wanted to be more financially stable, so I never asked, but later on in years, I found out they have been trying, she’s had 5 miscarriages, found out she can’t have kids, I’m glad I never asked, it wasn’t my business

Why are these friends so worried if his wife gets pregnant?

This topic comes up so often in my bubble that I really don't know how there are still people who don't realize how rude that is.

I was asked that question once. I looked at the woman (my husband's Aunt) and loudly asked her "How is that ANY of your business?" Crickets. His family quickly learned to respect my privacy.

I have the utmost respect and admiration for people that decide not to have children, and parents and others should mind their own business and not ask or tell them they should.

I heard this same nonsense from a priest. In church. YES CHURCH. He told my friend who was getting married in a few days that his method was proven to get women pregnant. Never went back to that church again.

"and then said that the position would decide the gender of the child" - so, like, the father's Y chromosome sperm has different density or something that his X chromosome sperm? Tell me more about the "science" of this, Kevin.

I actually gasped out loud at this one. Wishing a stillbirth because someone refused to answer quite possibly the most invasive and inappropriate question imaginable? GTFOH.

Ew. These questions are screwed up. She had the right not to answer them. Then they get mad and wish her baby dies?! I hope they know what they did wrong, and are guilty.

People are truly horrible. There is a special place in hell for a person who would do something like this.

I'm approaching the "old biddy" age. It wasn't fat shaming and it had nothing to do with hiding a pregnancy. In the 1950's - 1980's or so, prego styles were not form fitting, they were like smocks. For some reason, it wasn't proper to show the whole baby bump. I'm glad that it's changed, but that sense of "propriety" is so embedded in my brain, that it feels "improper" even though I know it's not! I'm glad that's changed, but I'm still

How long ago was this and how old were these women? I’m 61, and can tell you with authority that back in the seventies women's fashion started to turn away from designing maternity clothes that made you look like you weren’t pregnant. By the time I was in my twenties, especially once Princess Diana was pregnant, women started to very proudly show off their baby bumps. Additionally, through the eighties and into the nineties, it seemed like doctors were encouraging women to gain as much weight as they could, to have bigger babies—-regardless of the fact that it’s not healthy, there’s a greater risk of gestational diabetes or hypothyroidism, and the mother would still have to lose anywhere from 50 to 100 pounds after the baby was born (my mother had 5 babies between 1942 and 1960, and gained no more than 30 pounds with each of us—-and we were all between 7 and 8 pounds at birth—-which her doctor was really happy about)! So, if this was recent, and those women were my age, then they were unquestionably chock full of of the vilest and most hypocritical s h I t to talk that way.

Well, this isn't 1890 BC now is it?! Yeah, thought so. Now go back to drinking your wine you f*****g dinosaur (If only I could say this in real life)

"back in their day" women would get beaten up for accidentally putting an extra millilitre of milk in their husband's drink. People who are always like "blah blah back in my day blah blah" always had the worst days.

What's also bad is when someone looks at you, asks when you are due? B*tch...this is all me. And even if I was pregnant, how is my due date any of your damn business. I don't know you!

This question would have utterly floored a friend of mine who had wanted a big family but had to have an emergency hysterectomy after the birth of her first child. People really should learn to keep their yaps shut about stuff that's so personal.

When a couple asks when I'm getting married, I like to politely reply and ask when they're getting divorced.

Story of my life... I so feel for this women. My husband and I are in the same situation. We have our beautiful baby girl (18 months now) and have been asked by almost everyone when is baby number 2 coming. People just can't understand that we do not want another child. Both my daughter and I are absolutely lucky to be alive after the horrer pregnancy I had. As my doctor said "a miracle that we both live". And I have to explain on a regular basis the whole story so people would stop asking me how come I don't want a second child and what kind of a crazy person I am.

Ask them to be tenant mothers for all the little brothers they want you to have.
