It is only the female of the human species that can become pregnant so what is it with people speaking about "we are pregnant"

OK speak about "we are expecting a baby" because you clearly are BOTH expecting a baby, but this whole "we're pregnant" thing really gets on my nerves!!! Is it yet another Americanism?

Pedant? me?

Quite possibly Grin

YANBU, I really hate "we are pregnant" I would have decked my husband if he had said this, I didn't notice him having to push out an 8lb baby, it was definitely only me that was pregnant. Going off on a tangent slightly, why has Denise Van Outen written a baby book, she is a rather crap telly presenter who has had one baby, since when does that make you an authority on baby care Hmm.

Heidikit, I think that was why I was so bugged about it this morning! (still bugs me tonight though)

until WE stop drinking for 9 months and WE put on weight and WE get piles and WE cannot wear any of our normal clothes and WE have a million people stare up our va-jay-jays as WE push out something similar to a watermelon in size WE WILL NEVER BE PREGNANT.

I started a thread saying exactly the same thing a couple of months ago. A real bug-bear of mine. Grrrrr.
