To find it wierd when couples announce ''We are pregnant!''?

[poshsinglemum]

No- you the woman are pregnant.

I am being pernickity tonight.

it is schlocky coupley.she is pg - he isnt

I hate this too. I alwasy want to say are they both going to give birth too? Why don't they just say we are having a baby.

I've never announced we were ttc - thank God. One close friend knew because I had a mc two years ago and she knew about that and knew we were trying afterwards and my mum also knew but only from this summer when I had related health niggles. I think you're just putting stress on yourself and it's also a personal thing isn't it.

revealing ttc is like saying shagging with no contraception.too much information

A friend went to a dinner party hosted by a couple, the main purpose of the evening turned out to be that they had decided to ttc the following year.

Weirdness.

The purpose being to announce it, I should say.

lol.imagine scene."we are ttc boffing like rabbits"

very nice creme brulee dear

"preg⋅nant
1  /ˈprɛgnənt/ Show Spelled Pronunciation [preg-nuhnt]
?adjective

1. having a child or other offspring developing in the body; with child or young, as a woman or female mammal"

(from an online dictionary)

On the other hand, I can sympathise with wickedwitch, both in the sense of struggling to conceive and in the sense that such intense 'situations' for want of a better word it feels so much like a joint experience almost literally - so I will talk about "us" having appointments with this consultant and that consultant (for dh's chronic illness) - yes I am present but they are dh's appointments and I am not the one living with chronic pain.

I still wouldn't say "we are pregnant" though. Ick.

I hate it and think its weird.

It doesnt make any sense either.

I agree. "We are pregnant" is biologically impossible, except for lesbian couples both pregnant at the same time. Nobody else should say it. Ever.

do they also say we are menstruating/lactating/in labour. sharing the female experience

Having a dinner party to announce you're ttc is just beyond strange.

yanbu
hideous, smug expression

er yes, those are precisely the words I'll use to sum up the sheer indescribable joy I will be feeling when we are I am () pregnant
hideous and smug
ABSOLUTELY

hehe I told everyone we're going to TTC on our honeymoon, suffer hahaha

Well, we won't actually suffer, will we.

I hope it happens quickly for you anonymous. Some people are just going to keep asking if you're pregnant now.

No you wont lucky you

I fell at the honeymoon 20 weeks now, both really wanted a honeymoon baby

Didn't really think of other people cringing at the time lol

Aaaargh hate the 'We are pregnant' thing. Makes me feel queasy.

Also dislike anyone else knowing we are ttc. Apart from on here only 1 v good friend knows. Even DH asked me if I was 'still off the pill' the other day There was me thinking we had had a discussion about trying for another baby..

If you know someone is ttc you feel compelled to ask them if they're pg all the time or you feel rude.

I don't mind it - they just mean they're in it together and both excited!
Agree announcing you're ttc is odd, I only ever discussed it with friends who had a child of the same age and were probably ttc themselves! Also told my mum last time at Christmas as I didn't fancy being offered a drink at the dinner table- luckily I got a positive test a few days later, I didn't fancy giving her updates

"we're pregnant" wants to make me vomit.

And agree announcing we're TTC is waaaaaaaaaaaaaay to much info.

Mind I'm a grumpy cow who is just about sick of being asked if we're ttc!

Congratulations anonymous

Can we add to the list people who think they're very clever for getting pregnant quickly.

Disagree Stealth- 'WE are expecting a baby' 'OUR baby is due on xyz day' yes.

WE are NOT pregnant SHE is.
WE are equally not going to spend the next 9 months drinking/smoking/eating pate.

We are pregnant is just incorrect and wierd.

i know it's incorrect but just think it's sweet
I wouldn't say it (technicallity as 'we' are planning never to be pg again )

eugh how nauseating. I'm pg but I wouldn't go around announcing to friends and family 'we're pregnant!' it just sounds so wrong. since when did the man fall pregnant?? I got a text of a mum friend last year when she announced 'we're pregnant!'. I just cringed, happy for her, but really cringed.

YA definately NBU.
