People who say WE are pregnant.

[jellybaby25]

This really annoys me & smacks of smugness. Your husband cannot be pregnant along with you! Why not say I am pregnant?

Cyn that just smacks of wrong!

there's no we
how smugly mcsmug for this who have coupley shared email address

Cynner that in theory is correct
Pickles argh ding get me started on Facebook and mummy/ daddy accounts!!!!

Don't not ding, oops

Naming bumps isn't as weird as calling them it if you don't know the gender

@scottish ... cringey cringe! I just don't get joint email accounts

@Pickles .... that is awful!

What is this naming bumps thing? Like cyclops? Err..no..guess that would be for eye in middle of forehead...

Later on it got a 4d scan as profile photo.

It made me shudder.

Mine is called Clive McLumpity

Naming the bump or the baby to be? My bumps should have all been named Chubby Hubby then..

I got loudly corrected by my grumpy FIL for mentioning that my brother is expecting twins later this year. (Well they both are, aren't they?) Was I wrong then??

It's cringe.

We are going to be parents. Possibly, we are having a baby. But only she is pregnant.

Its a cringe from me. When I was spending most of my time with my head down the toilet in the early months, being kept awake from kicking in the later months, and screaming my head off in labour, I didn't notice that dh was particularly affected by any of that. Maybe its because it wasn't him who was pregnant.

I quite happily said 'we' were pregnant when I had the privilege of being able to tell my friends that my pregnancy test was positive so they were having a baby.

"We're pregnant" is better than "we're having a baby" because you're not taking for granted that it will have a positive outcome.

It's something Ross from friends would say very odd.

Yabu, although it is factually incorrect, it's a way to get the point across that the pregnancy and subsequent baby was jointly planned and should be the equal responsibility of both parents. I said ''we'" and it seems that I am one of only a few women, amongst my friends,
who shares the responsibility of parenthood equally with their partner.

YANBU. I hate it when people announce pregnancy this way.

I usually respond with "Really? Both at the same time??"

We are having a baby = ok
we are pregnant = not ok
my wife/partner is pregnant = ok
we are going to be parents = ok

Yanbu. Its not sweet, cute or anything positive, it's just incorrect, twee and makes you look like a massive twat. Seriously, the only people who think this phrase is ok are those that say it themselves, everyone else is laughing at you.

"We are expecting" is perfectly fine, why can't they just say that and save themselves the embarrassment?

I like to say "Look! we're pregnant!" to my Dh and then rub his big Buddha belly. Mine looks surprisingly like his right now. I often tell him that we have matching bumps!

he is horrified and cringes and tells me that he is a man and can't be pregnant!

oh, and we have named the fetus Cletus.

I know a we're pregnant couple.
It makes me clench my arse cheeks.

I keep thinking, there'll be no we're pregnant when those contractions ramp up and he's there, waving a flannel.
