Top Four Questions I Am Asked by Random Strangers:
1. When are you due?
2. Boy or a girl?
3. Is it your first?
4. Do you have a name picked out?
Usually in that order. Seriously, I have completed this survey dozens of times now. We need some new personal questions to ask pregnant women.
1. Do you know who the father is?
2. Was it an “accident”?
3. Are you getting a c-section?
4. Are you getting a nanny?
5. How old are you, anyway?
6. How much weight have you gained?
7. You’re still drinking coffee??
8. Are you having twins?
9. Are you going to quit your job?
10. Are you going to keep your cats?
I’ve been asked several of those questions, too.
Thankfully, only close friends and relatives (and medical professionals) have touched my belly, and a few of them have even asked first. I pity the fool who doesn’t know me and dares put a hand on my bump.
I worked with someone who had twins, a boy and girl. She gets, “Are they identical?” all the time. Also many nosy questions about if they were conceived naturally.
I’m glad you haven’t lost your sense of humor!
You should experiment by spending some time in a bar (with a suspicious looking glass of water, with a lime in it!) and see what happens then.
