WE are pregnant.

[bridgetreilly]

No. No you aren't.

SHE is pregnant and HE is not pregnant. It's not a joint enterprise. You are both expecting a baby, fine. But unless you are the one with the baby growing inside you, you are not pregnant. Not even a little bit.

we had no pain relief in labour

I'm not sure I would have had the restraint not to punch him.

I don't get offended when people use it, but it makes me twitch - like when people say "pacifically". Irrationally irritating.

("it" being "we're pregnant" of course, not that pain relief bollocks)

YAFNBU

SHE is pregnant.
Jeeeeez you guys claimed credit for everything else in the world, so just give the lady credit where credit is due for creating a human being inside herself.

Never hear anyone saying "we have terrible bleeding piles" once the baby is born.

@OldAndWornOut 😂😂😂😂😂😂

Yanbu. At all. Vomit making. No, the male in this situation isn't pregnant!

YADNBU! It's on par with gender reveals, naming ceremonies and baby showers. 💩

(Also - I like to talk about the Specific Ocean to even out all the people saying pacifically)

YABU to seriously get worked up about it. To me, it is the same as using 'less' when you mean 'fewer'.

Exactly. Both equally incorrect.

She is pregnant, he helped get her pregnant.

I know several women that have said "We are pregnant" and it irrationally makes me seethe quietly...No, he's not pregnant!

I hate that.

Anyone who says it goes right down in my estimation.

It's so wanky.

YANBU to dislike this. There's a lot more to it than simply a poor choice of words.

Did "we" ejaculate? No, absolutely not. She ovulated. Often menstruated. But not this time. Now get her a cup of tea!

Annoys me too. "We're expecting/going to have a baby"-fine. "We're pregnant"-no only one of you is

Oh it makes me SICKKKKKKK

@RandomUsernameHere care to elaborate?

The only possible excuse for using 'we are pregnant' would be if both partners were female. And both pregnant.

Totally agree. We are pregnant makes me cringe. My sister said it as a big announcement. Vom.

YADNBU! It's on par with gender reveals, naming ceremonies and baby showers

This! This! This! Honest to Christ, the amount of people who asked me why I was not having a baby shower was unreal. I felt like telling every one of them to go and get fucked.

I know someone who was sick every morning with "morning sickness" when his wife was pregnant. No. You vomited. You did not have the same pregnancy-induced morning sickness that your wife had. He had "labour pains" during her labour too. I do not doubt that he had (psychosomatic) pain but whenever I point out that it was NOT his uterus contracting and therefore not labour, they both get offended. They like to reminisce about when they were pregnant and it makes me want to scream.

It's not just words. It's appropriative. It's claiming that his experience is equivalent to hers. It's claiming that what's happening to her body is his.

^ This. As for we had no pain relief in labour I suppose he could be referring to when his infuriated wife kicked him in the bollocks for saying such stupid stuff.

YANBU. So cringeworthy

Ugh, YANBU. It is wrong and barf-inducing.

I told DH before we TTC never to refer to "us" as being pregnant. I also told him if he were to do a FB announcement he was not to say "welcome to the world baby X".

Fine if those are the terms you want to use but not for me.

(X being the baby name - not what DD is called)

I hate it.
