So I have decided that there are either some brave people out there or others are just more confident in themselves than I am. Strangers have been asking me when I am due and what I am having and all kinds of other pregnancy-related questions for a while now. The first time a stranger asked me when I was due I was so taken off guard that I just kind of stared at her for a second. She then followed up the silence by adding that she figured I was pregnant anyway because I am thin everywhere else. While it was a nice compliment, I thought it was still a risky comment- I mean, what if I just have a disproportionate fat roll? What if I had a strange growth? What if my outfit was just that unflattering? I was very tempted to respond that it was a tumor that the doctor was trying to figure out how to remove. That would have been a good reaction to watch... but it didn't mess with her after all.
I wonder how many people have mistakenly asked a non-pregnant woman about her expectant state...yikes.

I hear you on this one. My biggest issue is when complete strangers feel your belly. What are they thinking?
