Ladies: Ever been asked "When are you due?" when you're NOT PREGNANT?

Wow....knock on wood that has never happened to me.

I will personally never, ever, ever ask someone if they're pregnant because one time when I was about 14-15 I asked a lady in line at McDonald's when she was due. Big mistake---that's one of those mistakes you never ever forget especially since she yelled really loudly that she wasn't pregnant and that I shouldn't be so rude. :eek:

So for all the idiots out there who have to learn the hard way----we are all majorly sorry and yes, we still cringe about our stupidity. Sorry!
 
That reminds me! When I was 18, I was 160, and in a burger king with my friend in san fransisco and some bum walked up to me and asked me when I was due. I started crying, and these two ladies started yelling at him. I locked myself in the bathroom of a starbucks for like an hour while I talked to my cousin. I was only 160 too!!! ugh!!! And my cousin and friend were so baffled that he would say that, so baffled that I would be upset about it because it was so ridiculous, but it was SO freaking hurtful!
 
I have been asked this several times as some of the most comfy clothes make me look like i was about 5 or 6 months preggo. I had one guy actually come up and touch my belly and ask so when's the little one due. I was like get your hand off of me before I kick your ass and by the way I"m not pregnant. and He was like OMG I'm so sorry.. I was like you should really think about keeping your hands to yourself before you just go up to someone you don't know and touch them or ask them such a personal question.

I bet he really felt like a dumbass then.. anyways now I just tell people if I can tell they wonder bout it no i'm not preggo just fat.. ask my hubby he would wonder how i got preggo if he's been away for the last 10 months... lol then they kinda shut up really fast..

I have had this happen as well when I used to work with young children. It happened a lot and I really don't think they meant anything by it.

What did bother me was this:
In the summer I usually work a part time job along with my full time job. I have worked in the same place for the past couple of years. Last year, the owners son, who is 13, kept asking me why I am so FAT. It wasn't like he only asked once, but instead he followed me around asking until his mother finally told him to stop. Everyone I worked with heard him and that made it really embarrassing.

UGH! It still bothers me just typing about it.

I know how that feels! My friend's son, who is about 5 years old, saw a very overweight lady and he told me, "I don't like fat people . . . except you, you're pretty!" I didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Kids say the darndest things, don't they?!? LOL
 
Oh yes that has happened to me, I guess it was probably sometime last year I had to go to the ER for a migraine and the woman at registration had asked me if my water had broke! I was humiliated and wanted to run and hide. I don't think I'll ever get that out of my head.
 
Ugh!! This question is so horrible!! This has happened to me twice. Once right after I got married. I was wearing a big puffy vest with a sweatshirt under it (it was in Alaska) and a lady in my classed rubbed my belly and was said "you having a baby?"

Then... again last year (after loosing 10lbs) a different lady (different progam) in my class asked me if I was pregnant. The kicker is someone else (on the same day) commented on my weight loss. I have to say it was one of the strangest days I have ever had.
 
When I was in second grade I asked my teacher if she was pregnant. She wasn't even overweight... her belly just stuck out a little. She got mad at me.

ROFL at your reply. The second comment she made was even MORE out of line than the first one!!

Someone did ask me when I was due, just after I joined this forum and started feeling confident that I had finally cracked the secret of turning things around.

I didn't know her. I was just collecting a parcel from a store.

Actually I didn't feel all that bad. I just thought:
- oh she is going to feel so bad that she asked that. (Cause other people I know have told me about times when they made that mistake and they still felt like crawling under a rock days later.)
- I do look like I'm about to explode.
- I should feel ashamed, and I do a smidge, but not much, cause I am unfastening this fat suit!

good for you!
 
Has anyone else ever been asked when the baby's due when ur NOT pregnant?!

i feel like im alone on this...it would be good to know that i'm not.

You see, I was out with my best friend of six years [and future boyfriend] about a month ago. We went to the mall and went into a baby clothing store so I could buy a gift for my neice who was turning 1. When I went in, the woman workign there saw us together and touched my belly and asked when the baby was due...It was one of the MOST EMBERASSING things in the world to have to tell her i wasnt pregnant and that i was shopping for my neice...

This wasn't even the first time I was confused for being pregnant either!! Am I alone on this or do some of u get asked the same?
 
A couple of nights ago I took my son to get his hair cut. I looked at the girl cutting his hair and decided to go for it. I asked her when she was due she said "December" I actually was positive she was pregnant... ok there was a small amount of fear in the very back of my mind. The funny thing was my 8 year old son.. When we were walking to the car he said... "Why did you ask that lady when she was due" ? "What if she wouldn't have been pregnant " ??!!! Ha! I guess my son has already passed me up in the smarts department.
 
I had a woman tell her teenage son to get up and let the pregnant lady have a seat. I looked around to see whom she was referring to, and she touches my arm, and says "You sit down, dear. It's not good for the baby with the bus being so bumpy." I looked at her said thank you, and told her there was no need, as I was getting off at the next stop. Very humiliating.
 
I had that happening to me as well, but actually, I didn't care. It was on a bus as well, and I was standing there with some shopping bags, and some guy got up and came over and offered me his seat, then helped me with my bags. I didn't point out that I wasn't pregnant, I was glad to get the seat and some idiot to carry my bags for me! *lol*

Seriously though, I totally understand what such a question can do for somebody's self-confidence, and how embarrassing it can be. I would never in a million years ask such a question, simply because it's not my business. But what I hate more is people who can't keep their hands to themselves...I had a girlfriend about....uhm....15 years back, and she ended up pregnant (long, weird story, don't ask), and it drove me demented that total strangers would just come over and touch her belly. What gives them the right to invade somebody's privacy like that?? *grrrrrrrr*
 
5 times!

I was asked 4 times within 2wks back in July, thats when I started really posting in here and getting more serious about my weight.

Even though I have lost 10lbs so far, I was asked again a couple weeks ago by this lady that is new, when I said no she said sorry and that she only asked because someone said someone on the floor was pregnant.

Well I guess seeing as there are only two of us within childbearing age and the other lady is a very young, kinda skinny girl (not showing yet), the new lady just assumed it was me. After her explanation I didnt feel too bad, plus I know I'm being proactive about losing the weight. I'll show them all one day muuuhahahahah :reddevil:
 
I've never been asked and I'm surprised honestly. Just the way I'm shaped, I gain most of my weight in my stomach. But I'd probably cry if someone asked me or if it was a kid/little old lady I might be like "no" and walk off horrified.
 
yep I've been asked it on several occassions when I'm due or referenced to that I was pregnant. And each and every one of them I wanted to poke the persons eyes out I was so pissed. If I wasn't in such shock from the embarassment and shame of feeling like a fat cow I'd answer with the response "the baby isn't due for another 3yrs." and then pray that they feel like the biggest peice of shit ever for opening their mouth. People are so f'ing rude....there is NO excuse....not even the "old people are just like that" excuse...BS they should for sure know better then!!!
 
oh yeah! Just 2 weeks ago actually!

My sister just gave birth and had a massage, the lady performing the massage asked my mum when I will be due!
 
Yeah, I recall one time.

I think it was the type of clothing I was wearing. It was a bit baggy, so it could have looked like I was pregnant. Most of the time I surprise people. They are so use to me wearing baggy clothes that when I'm wearing something a little tighter, they are shocked of how small I am under the extra layers of clothings.

I still think of that moment when someone asked. I think it's motivation for me more than embarrassment or insult.
 
Not quite. I was asked if I had ever had a kid (because of the fat, it was a direct conversation) and I said nope, I'm just fat. And you know...I wasn't embarassed to say at all. I've come to terms with my fat now and it's not like they can't see that I'm fat I feel alright with it all.
