Being asked if I'm pregnant.. when I'm not

[Wond]

So yesterday I took my baby for his 8 week injections. After the injections, the nurse looked at me and said 'are you expecting again?' Hmm.. no, it's only been 8 WEEKS!!
When I said no, I'm not, she said 'well, it does take a while to lose the baby weight'!

I have a small bump left, but wasn't self conscious about it.. until now! I left the surgery really angry... the more I think about it, the more annoyed I get and wonder whether I should complain. It's surely not expected by healthcare professionals that you go back to your original size in 8 weeks?? This is my first baby. Would you complain to the surgery?

I would complain. This is so unprofessional and could have a serious impact on someone's mental health.

I would. At my 6 week check up I didn't get asked if I was pregnant again, and I put more weight on rather than losing it.

She shouldn’t have said, but I wouldn’t complain.

I remember taking my 3 month old to work round and showing him off. My boss said to me “oh so you won’t be back for long when you return from mat leave” (looking at my stomach). I wasn’t pregnant.

If your baby is only 8 weeks and you were pregnant you wouldn't be showing anyway?! Its like she was being purposely nasty...

Sounds really strange. It's not as if the nurse is clueless about pregnancy and how it would affect your body. Why would she assume you were pregnant again?

I would have that investigated because it's not as if it was a mistake, so it must have been malicious.

Sounds intentionally nasty to me. You wouldn't be showing at less than 8 weeks anyway, and she's a nurse so she would surely know about your belly taking a while to go down. Also, you just don't say stuff like that to people, especially when you're at work in a public facing role.

Definitely make a complaint. She needs to be taught how to deal with people properly.

Complain, she should know better in she position ffs

What an arsehole.
So unprofessional and could cause real damage.

That’s really shit. Did she look like Claudia Schiffer to be judging your body?

Don’t feel bad about yourself, you just created a whole human being, and I’m sure you look beautiful.

Sounds like she’s got some sort of issue and it’s no reflection on you at all.

No one should EVER ask if someone else is pregnant. It’s far too personal and bloody rude. I was pissed off enough when a colleague asked me when I was pregnant but not ready to tell anyone yet.

Even if you don’t officially ‘complain’, this needs to be fed back as an inappropriate comment.

She’s an idiot but who cares! You’ve a big tummy at the moment. Welcome to our very big club! Shake it off and don’t waste your time on it.

I remember some 26 years ago when my DD was 8 months old having a stand-off with a customer I was serving about whether I was pregnant or not. She wouldn't believe I wasn't. Bitch. Wish I was the person I am now cos I would have told her to fuck off, instead of being a 19 year old push over.
