Is it rude ??

This is my first baby im almost 19 weeks & i hate when people ask me how far along i am. So i always answer with "i dont want to tell anyone yet" alot of people get upset or feel uncomfortable & i feel bad but i still dont want to tell anyone. Just family.

I would say rude too. Makes you sound terribly irritating. But it's all personal choice, you really don't have to tell anyone.

Yeah i would say rude. I feel bad for that guy that you freaked on that was probably just trying to make small talk. I know we have hormones but i think some women take advantage of that fact. Even if someone does say "wow are you having twins" it's not like they're calling you fat. there's a baby in there and pregnant women get big. This is my second baby and I have 9 days left. I'm uncomfortable and irritated at this stage but I'm not going to take it on people just trying to make conversation.

I don't like telling certain people anything concerning my pregnancy. If they ask I'll totally ignore them bcus some people will smile & pretend that they're happy for you but on the inside they wish bad upon you

I think its kinda rude to. I don't see why you would want to hide it from other people... I tell everyone, and post on Facebook about it.. Idc I'm proud to be pregnant.

I think it is kind of rude. They are just asking a question . its better than them asking if you're having twins .

this is my third baby and with all my children I loved talking to people about my babies, I loved it when they asked me how far along I am, what I am craving, if it is a boy or girl.... and all questions related to the baby...
