“We’re pregnant” ick

It doesn't bother me. Half the time I say "he is pregnant" when talking about a couple that I'm closer to the guy. Then I correct myself but it's what pops in my head first It only bothers me when the guy is constantly saying we're pregnant and acting like he is doing the heavy lifting

Yeah it just hits the ear wrong! 😅 *’we’re having a baby!’ works

We are having a baby but I’m the pregnant one

Doesn’t bother me if other people say it about themselves but if my husband was to say we’re pregnant it would 😅.

Not at all. For us we did the pregnancy together. I was quite unwell and my husband did everything. I didn't cook a meal or do more or less any chore. So he was being super supportive and putting in a lot of work. So we were pregnant together 😊

It doesn’t bother me but I see it both ways. I sometimes said we but sometimes said I or me. Like we’re both going through the pregnancy journey but I’m very different ways, we both had the worries, I had the symptoms and my husband had to deal with my hormones and supporting me but at the same time I’m the one being poked and have to push baby out. I think it depends on the day as well, if I was annoyed then I was pregnant 😂

@Hanna-Sofia no babe he wasn’t. He didn’t carry the baby for 9 months, he didn’t birth him/her. And after all you’ve gonna through, I think cooking is the minimum he could do. So no, you weren’t pregnant together, you had a baby together which is completely different

I commented on a FB post recently that a male actor had just had a baby, and a woman replied "no he hasn't, his wife has"' .... that gave me more of an ick, like obviously the woman birthed the baby but the couple have had a baby together 🙄

@Natalie yeah that was an obvious one 😂 she was just being annoying

I guess I never gave it much thought. But I would say we're having a baby rather than we're pregnant

It doesn’t really bother me, especially if it’s a couple that have been trying for a while. It takes 2 to get pregnant whether you are doing it alone or not it still takes both the parents participating to get pregnant. And to say we are pregnant has nothing to do with birth. It’s not like they say we gave birth.

@Savannah but it’s not like the man is carrying a baby is it? So your logic makes no sense 😂

So even if a couple is trying for ages to start a family and they are both equally excited when it happens for them they can’t say “we are pregnant”?

Either way if your not one of the people in the couple it shouldn’t really bother you. It’s between the 2 that have got pregnant what they want to say. If it was me I would say we are pregnant/we are expecting because whether planned or not it was a joint effort lol. Not like I can get myself pregnant without help 😂😂😂

I really do not care. In the slightest. I don’t tell people until they ask, but regardless.. it doesn’t matter it’s just a sentence to announce a baby on the way, why not focus on being happy they’re expecting and excited than finding something to be negative about?

@Bella facts!
