Never ask a woman if she's pregnant |

After a rather heated discussion with my boyfriend on this topic, I just wanted to put my 2 cents in.
I believe you should never ask a woman if she's pregnant - even if she looks like she's about to pop - because:
- You could be wrong,
and you're basically just calling her fat.
- You could be right and she doesn't want to tell anyone yet.
- She may have been pregnant and already had the baby. Again, you're just calling her fat.
- She may have been pregnant and lost the baby. Now you're calling her fat and bringing up a traumatic issue.
- She may just want one day in her life where she doesn't have to discuss pregnancy and birth.
- If you're a family member or friend who wants her to have children, you're putting undue pressure on if you're wrong.
- If you're the 5th person to ask that question that day, I'll bet she's sick of answering it. Whether she is or not.
If someone's pregnant, they will share it with you if they want to. Then you can talk about it to your heart's desire. But if they don't tell you, then don't bring it up. You might just manage to avoid that really awkward pause where she looks at her feet and says "No..."
