WE are pregnant. AIBU to think this the most cringe making statement in the world?

[beammeupscotty]

We are having a baby, we have a baby - but WE ARE PREGNANT. OMG It makes me want to curl my toes in embarrassment. Its bad enough when the mother says it but when the man as well !!! Of course men share in the ups and downs of pregnancy and support and care for their partners, but never, never are they pregnant too!!

actually I think 'we gave birth' or similar is worse

YANBU. Makes me cringe and think of Margaret Thatcher. Always a nauseating proposition.

Personally "we had a third degree tear and stitches" makes me want to commit violence!

YANBU. Very irritating.

However I also hate the phrase fall/fell pregnant. Where does the fall come into it.

yanbu it is horrid, I hate it most when women say it

YANBU - it would make medical history if they both actually were! (OK, so I'd allow an exception for a lesbian couple who were both pregnant at the same time, but I imagine they'd say "we're both pregnant, anyway)

"We" are having a baby/going to have a baby/ expecting

"I" am pregnant/ "She" is pregnant

YANBU

YANBU.

I hate it. Passionately.

yanbu.

Oh so we are BOTH going to feel sick and bloated, give up drinking, soft cheese etc. grow to the size of a house, get piles, have someone furkle around our bits at the drop of a hat for the next God knows how long, go into labour (don't even get me started) have an emergency c-section/ventouse/forceps delivery, ache like a bugger for weeks, have leaky boobs and all the associated glamour are we?

Pisses me right off that phrase.....

It doesn't bother me in the slightest. I'd just assume the couple were over excited about the shared news, that's all.

Not something I said/would say. I did say we are having a baby I should think.

But def nothing I can get worked up or bothered by.

YANBU. It was all ME, ME, ME!!!!!

One of my friend's DHs once told me "we won't be having an epidural". She did, indeed, end up having an epidural. Why he thought he had a say in it is beyond me.

We, for example, are a twat.

LOL, Chickens!

My DH would never have done the 'we' bit - he's still pleased that he wasn't the one who had to have the babies.

Fox - well technically he was correct - WE didn't have an epi - SHE did!

DH was very disappointed, however, that he didn't get a go on the gas'n'air. He could have had it, for all the good it did me....

agree with hulababy - i just think it indicates that he's as excited and pleased as she is.
we won't be having an epidural - ha! speak for yourself dear

If my DH ever says that, I'll have his balls. Maybe then he'll be halfway justified in saying "we".

My Dh bought a book title 'he's having a baby' Really? medical first then. He never read it though, must have been put off by the thought of where it could possibly come out of?

It makes me want to slap the offending person around the chops with a lochia-stained sanitary towel. So. Fucking. Wrong.

YANBU
fucking hate this phrase

YANBU

Let it join the phrase "We're trying for a baby." Bleuurgh. Please don't invade my mind's eye with images of the dh in loose boxer shorts performing to order.

YANBU
I did all the hard work
