AIBU to be annoyed when people ask when women will have babies?

[Runnersknee]

I know I’m not being unreasonable here but I need to vent - when will people stop asking women when they are going to have a baby?!? Surely everyone knows by now it’s insensitive and nosey.

It really does drive me mad & it’s not even me on the receiving end of it these days! But my sister got married last year and all I ever hear from people is ‘oh when’s your sister going to have a baby’.

It’s always other women asking and the worst offenders are a couple of friends who both had miscarriages so should know better. I just find it so awkward as I never know what to say as it’s really no one else’s business and ttc is hard enough without everyone else asking about it.

Excuse me? Who made you? How bizarre.

I had a female GP in Dubai circa 2010 tell me when I was in my early thirties that I’d have ‘Mong*loid’ (her word, not something that was even heard or said before in my prescence!!!) children. Seriously 🤯. Wtaf!

I think many people disingenuously just ask as an attempt at making social chit chat. If they drill down on the subject, then that's a different matter.

as a woman going through infertility it really is so upsetting to hear those words, especially when going through your own personal limbo every single day so its just another reminder. I just dont think people think before they speak sometimes. I just think until you go through trouble conceiving you think its easy for everyone.

Ok, maybe my reply was out of line. Apologies.
