To utterly despise every man who ever said...

[ApocalypseThen]

"We're pregnant".

YANBU It sounds silly to me. 'We are going to be parents' is perfectly ok but 'We are pregnant' sounds daft.

Unless he's making medical history.

Well a little to be honest 'cause I know what they mean. They too are going to be a parent soon. It actually took a second for me to write that second sentence because he's not "having a baby" or "pregnant".

Technically he can't say "Sykadelic and I are having a baby!" NOPE, WRONG, she is, you aren't.

If someone said to me "my wife is pregnant" and excludes himself from the equation, can't help but wonder if he's the dad.

Maybe I should tell my DH to run around town yelling "I impregnated my wife!"

I'd take it over "We don't want pain relief" any day of the week.

YANBU. Hideous.

I am, however, now considering keeping DP home from football today because "we" have such bad period pains....

yy sykadelic

Someone should invent a new phrase to mean "we've made a baby"

Oh - maybe "We've created a baby"

"I've impregnated my wife" makes it all about him

A lad who I work with wrote on his facebook page 'My balls work we're aving a kid'
Nice

When my SIL was in labour, my BIL texted me saying 'We're 7cm dilated.'

Wow, a psychologist's field day...

my DP said this!

I quickly reminded him that no, I'M pregnant.

When I worked on the maternity ward there was a very strange couple, think Roy Cropper and Bonnie Tyler
I walked in on them at her bedside, she was sat on a chair and he was sat on the floor between her legs, I kid you not, hand expressing milk from her breasts while she just sat there
I didn't know where to put myself, I was traumatised for days!
"We are expressing"

Yanbu ....just no....can't bare it from either parent to be.

YY to rhubarb and "bean". I hate hate it. Also "the bump" especially when signed in cards. Grrr.

However I made the fatal mistake of telly DP this and although in complete agreement with me he's been using bean ever since to wind me up

YANBU. Can't stand this phrase.

I don't see anything wrong with "We are having a baby," though. It doesn't mean, "We are giving birth" IMO. It means, "Our baby is going to be born" or "We will soon have a baby in the family." Which is fair enough.

I can't stick it. It is just ridiculous.

I was pregnant with our three daughters. My husband wasn't, and he wouldn't have wanted to be thought of as such.

I guess it is some sort of media invention, though I don't really know where it actually came from.

YANBU. I can't abide "we're pregnant" coming from men or women.

Oh thank god I've found this thread! Thought it was just me who felt so irrationally strongly about the whole 'we're pregnant' thing! Vomit inducing

"My sperm found her egg and cells are dividing!"

I didn't realise I was so easy going, before I found mumsnet

"We're expecting a baby" or "she is pregnant".

THIS DRIVES ME MAD.

Whoever started this should have a growing / moving fist shoved up their anus for nine months and then be kicked in the ball sack repeatedly whilst coughing the fist out of their stupid, inaccurate, mouth!

Perhaps a bit unreasonable...
