Rude reactions when you say you’re pregnant

Is it just me or does anyone else hate when people say they “knew” you were pregnant when you tell them, and not in a fun “oh I wondered that’s great news!” But in face in a really rude way? SIL really upset me by telling me how obvious it was when it was being kept quiet and that there was no need to have said when she’d worked it all out. Made me feel so bad!

'Are you going to keep it?' (My nan, with baby number 3)

'Oh' (my Nan with baby number 4)

My mother in law asked her stepdaughter, in front of us, who the father was. She has a long-term boyfriend... I try to remember that when I get cross about the stupid things she has said to me.
My step father in law ( I know, fucking complicated family) asked me if I was sure of my dates and maybe it would come out Maori (I had been travelling in NZ shortly before conceiving).
Jaw on the floor.

I have a lot of issues with FIL, but when me and DH announced we were having a baby at 20 in front of all the family FIL’s response was ‘and you’re not getting a termination?’.

When we told DH's grandmother we were having our third she turned to DH and said "you need to learn to keep it in your pants". I was aghast and literally said "did you mean to be so rude". She didn't know what to say then.

My managers response was "well it'll be fun trying to redistribute your complex cases" Hmm given that she was off on mat leave for the first year I worked there, not sure she had a leg to stand on!
