Every bloody week there’s some comment about me getting pregnant or being pregnant. This week it was about DH and I going away on holiday by ourselves for the first time in 20 years “oh I bet you come back pregnant!” said a colleague. To which I replied very very unlikely at my age (almost 49). “Oh you never know”.
Last week I said I had a dodgy stomach, apparently that was me being pregnant too FFS. I’m peri menopausal and having a bloody hard time over it, I’ve had 4 DC the youngest of which is 14, I have shown no interest in having a baby (DH had a vasectomy after no4 was born) despite all this I keep getting told I’m flaming pregnant. Do you think they will stop when I’m 55?
AIBU?
about colleagues always going on about me getting pregnant ….. at age 48?

Yeah it’s a bit odd but not a reason to be REALLY PISSED OFF or anything. Slightly bemusing but hardly insulting or nasty.

The one who made the remark today is in her 50s, I have said don’t be so bloody stupid I’m almost 50 before “oh people have had babies at your age” I just found it totally bizarre to say that to someone when you find out they are going on holiday with just their DH! That would be your first thought!
Also very insensitive as there’s a woman at work who we all know has had failed IVF attempts and has resigned her self to be childless 🙁
