I would flat out ask them why they would ask a question like that. People have no bountries when it comes to pregnant people.

Re: How would you respond to this?

We waited a long time to have our first LO and for a time I was on the fence about even having one, so now that I'm pregnant, I've actually had a few people ask me if it was planned.

I'm very outspoken, but I just say yes, it was planned, because anything else would just come out way too nasty.

I'm floored by the stupidity and/or the nerve of people.

Re: How would you respond to this?

I read everyone's responses...people are just so disgusting Chat Icon Anyway, this pregnancy was planned...we did whatever happens, happens and it happened however when people ask me that question, I cant even bring myself to tell them yes because I don't want to give them the satisfaction of an answer Chat Icon It just amazes me what information people think that they are entitled to Chat Icon

We got pg with DD (INTENTIONALLY) 2 months after we got married. We both have good paying, stable jobs and owned a home. I was shocked when people were asking us if this was "planned"!

Now that DD is 16 months and I'm telling people that we've expecting #2 (again, intentionally) I've had some ask if it was planned. I think some people are just beyond nosey and have no clue as to what is an acceptable and polite question.Chat Icon

My FIL asked me this (and this is only our second). I told him that it wasn't, but I've heard a lot of sad stories in the past few years, and I feel lucky to have one healthy DD and another one on the way. It shut him up pretty effectively.

I HATE this question... but have a couple of answers if you're in a b!tchy mood:

1) No. Are you going to take back your congratulations now?

2) Yes, it was... by G-d.

3) Yes. After a few more, we want our own reality show!

I can't take credit for #2 and 3... other friends of ours came up with those. I totally admit to using #3 on a Target cashier recently though.

Re: How would you respond to this?

Not mr, but my dh's cousin got pg with #2. It was soon after their first, but I never said a word about her.

Her mil, dh's aunt, told everyone that it was an "oops baby.". Chat Icon I thought that was the rudest thing. I would never ask anybody if they were having an "oops baby."
