I will be telling my work soon that I'm pregnant, it's a mostly male environment. A girl from our office down south is expecting too; she announced hers a few weeks back.

The thing is that the guys round here are generally ok, a bit twattish but generally quite a good laugh. I already know the types of comments I will get once they find out. (I had it all before when I was pregnant with my 5yo DS). It'll be stuff like:

"whose is it?"
"does your DH know?"
"how did that happen then?"
"was it planned?"

All whilst thinking they're hilarious and guffawing with laughter. I usually would just roll my eyes and ignore but really want some good one-liners to respond with, other than "fuck right off".

How about making some idiot cards with responses on from this thread. Then whenever someone makes a 'witty' comment, just hold up the appropriate card....
