People are so rude....

So I am 26 weeks 6 days pregnant and yesterday 5 random people throughout my work ( I work at a hospital) asked me if I was pregnant. ... after the 3rd one I just started telling them " no im just really fat" then I walked away the look of embarrassment on their faces was priceless. .. isnt there like a rule of thumb if you can't tell dont ask, everyone of my friends I have told said that its just rude to ask question and you can clearly tell I am pregnant I have a very round belly lol.... has anyone else had this happen where people just are rude or blunt?

When I wasn't pregnant some lady asked how far along I was I started crying and told her I wasn't pregnant. Hopefully she never does that again. But now I actually am pregnant with a little belly and nothing yet

Students and teachers at my school asked. It was non of their business but I told them yes to be nice. I felt bad for them asking because I was under 20 weeks when my whole school knew. People I didn't even know knew or asked.

I don't think they were rude. Those poor people were probably just trying to start a conversation.

Yes agree^^^
I could understand maybe if you dont get along with those people. But sometimes people want to start a nice conversation or maybe want to be happy with you or maybe have helpful pregnancy stories to tell about themeselves. Dont stress hun its not good for u and baby:)

When I gave birth, approximately a month after I went to Wal-Mart with my husband to buy diapers and the woman ay the cash register seen all the baby stuff and asked how far along I was lol I felt so weird at the spot but her face reaction when I said I gave birth about a month ago was priceless lol haha that's why i never ask any woman if they are pregnant or not cause I wouldn't want someone to do that to me when I wasn't like the Wal-Mart situation lol

I'm 35 weeks and people ask me that. I haven't gained weight anywhere except my stomach, so you'd think it would be obvious by now. I understand why you are annoyed. We already feel big as mommies because this is far from our normal shape, so it isn't nice to have someone question if you're actually pregnant. I told someone yesterday I was just hiding a basketball.

People are deffinatly rude. My nurse at work was training someone, when my nurse came to twll me something this lady burst out with "OMG, you are really pregnant! " I dont think I have  ever been so annoyed in my life. And to make it worse she keeps asking personal questions and I don't know her so I dont answer her.
