And still pregnant?

5 replies

I'm almost 24 weeks pregnant now, and it's such a welcome relief because it took us quite a while to conceive.

Now, here's the thing: I have a friend who has a husband and two kids of her own. At 9 weeks, 12 weeks, and now at 24 weeks, she keeps asking me the same question via the app: "Still pregnant?" It feels a bit weird to me. What do you all think about this?

    Ask her if she knows how long a human pregnancy lasts?

    So weird. And if she has kids herself, she should really know how long a pregnancy lasts.
    I think it's a weird question and inappropriate!

    Maybe it came across badly, but I didn't mean it that way. Sorry.

    I’ve already told her that I think it’s a weird question to ask, and that she’d be better off asking how the pregnancy is going instead of asking if I’m still pregnant. I found it really unfortunate because you never know how a pregnancy will turn out. She’s since clarified that she didn’t mean it that way, and things have cleared up a bit. But I do think such a question can come across as really inappropriate to some people.

    Good that you said something. And nice that it's out of the way now.
    Have a lovely pregnancy!!
