"We're pregnant"

[IngridBurger]

I hate it so much. No he isn't pregnant. Not even a bit. Yes he's going to he a father. He's expecting a baby. His partner is pregnant. How lovely that he's excited about it. What an amazing dad he's sure to be, but he is absolutely not pregnant!

I'm as grumpy as a middle-aged woman can get but this one really pisses me off. Pregnancy is a uniquely female experience. Why the fuck do men need to lay claim to it?

Do they experience morning sickness? Worry about the effects of the pregnancy on their career and earning potential? Be judged by all and sundry if they decide to have a thimbleful of wine or a slice of smoked salmon? Go through the risks and pain of childbirth?

Is it just me? (I expect so!!)

I put this on here a few months ago. It makes me cringe. Apparently it’s so the men don’t feel left out 😂😂😂

Why is she a childless old bat?

But he isn’t pregnant. He isn’t growing a child inside his body. You are both expecting a baby but he most certainly is not pregnant!

I agree, it's so cringey and I'm not normally one to get worked up about statements! If you're not having major surgery to have a baby or pushing it out your vagina, you're not pregnant!

Poor lambs. See, I actually find that far more offensive to men, giving them a pretend role in something they cannot do, than acknowledging facts whilst expecting them to step up as equal parents later on.

Love it lol x

Not the same thing. Heavily pregnant is perfectly descriptive of being within a few weeks of giving birth, while a little bit pregnant doesn't exist.

Ooh, so nearly a post!

Yes. The ‘communication’ piece is that they try to predict. IRL the poor child spent about 50% of its time over a potty. In baby group.

Kid would be 15 now. I wonder how it’s doing…

Oh my god stop!! 😂😂(That said you could try Dragons' Den!)
