I felt like this when my boss asked me - but no one else seems to understand why it was a totally inappropriate question! Same as no one understands that saying "ooh you're big for 7 months" can be upsetting...maybe it's just when you're pregnant you suddenly understand these things?

I had someone ask me if it was twins one time. But (aside from my brothers who I joke with) even before experiencing pregnancy I would never pass comment on a person's size whether or not they were pregnant.

Nearly everyone I told asked me If it was planned. I suppose they knew we wanted to stop at 2. I just got used to it. I always reply with 'no, but it's a happy surprise'.

Then they say I must be mad having 3 so close together. I think they are perfectly spaced and will be good ages to play with and look out for each other. I may decide I was mad to have another in April though lol.

I have just had my growth scan at 30+4 and baby is weighing in at 3lbs 7oz, he has quite a large head......may reconsider the homebirth, lol

I guess most people just think that cos me and OH aren't married then it isn't planned? I think more people 'expect' babies from married couples. Plus most people at work don't know I've been in a relationship for 5 years and I guess assume I'm not???

Either way it's bl00dy rude. Having said that, a colleague told me a few weeks ago she was PG and I straight away asked her if it was planned - I could've died........it was only cos she already has 2 and has always said it was enough for her so I was genuinely shocked when she told me. Plus we are close anyway so she wasn;t too offended but as soon as I asked her I could've kicked myself. She did plan it btw....ha ha

What are the age gaps?

I want to start trying for number 2 in January 2012.

My boss also asked me if it was planned and when I said yes he asked if we had used p1ss sticks????
I had to burst out laughing (we did use a CBFM) but he was so direct. He is a very tactless type of person anyway so he saw no problem in asking me and he always puts his foot in it.

I'm friends with his wife so when I told her what he had said and laughed about it, apparently she went home and gave him a good telling off. He came in the next day with his tail between his legs....ha ha ...

Hi Sequeena

and welcome, there is a thread also running for those less than 12 weeks pregnant. You will find some great support and advice from other ladies in the early days on there.

Of course, you are also more than welcome here

That's early - our first appointment is supposed to be at 8-10 weeks. (Or at least it was four years ago - I haven't checked to see if it's changed.)
