Don't Ask Me If I'm Pregnant: Why You Should Let ME Tell YOU When I'm Ready

I agree with this so much! There is another reason not to ask, as well. She might have just had a baby!!! Most women still look pregnant the first few (ok, in my case it was more like 6 weeks!) weeks after giving birth. I had someone congratulate me that I was "working on a sibling" for my baby when I was 6 weeks post partum. I was like, I'm not pregnant, this baby is 6 weeks old. It was awful. I went home and cried and didn't go out in public again for several days.

Good point! I knew I'd be missing some of the millions of reasons! You are so right. What is wrong with people? I really feel like it is a terrible idea to ever comment on a woman's body - or anyone's body. They're just our vehicles and we worry about them so much. But women especially are subject to so much curiosity and judgement. I'm so sorry you encountered such a clueless person at such a delicate time. ugh.
