“We’re pregnant” ick

It doesn't bother me. Half the time I say "he is pregnant" when talking about a couple that I'm closer to the guy. Then I correct myself but it's what pops in my head first It only bothers me when the guy is constantly saying we're pregnant and acting like he is doing the heavy lifting

Yeah it just hits the ear wrong! 😅 *’we’re having a baby!’ works

We are having a baby but I’m the pregnant one

Doesn’t bother me if other people say it about themselves but if my husband was to say we’re pregnant it would 😅.

Not at all. For us we did the pregnancy together. I was quite unwell and my husband did everything. I didn't cook a meal or do more or less any chore. So he was being super supportive and putting in a lot of work. So we were pregnant together 😊

It doesn’t bother me but I see it both ways. I sometimes said we but sometimes said I or me. Like we’re both going through the pregnancy journey but in very different ways, we both had the worries, I had the symptoms and my husband had to deal with my hormones and supporting me but at the same time I’m the one being poked and have to push baby out. I think it depends on the day as well, if I was annoyed then I was pregnant 😂

@Hanna-Sofia no babe he wasn’t. He didn’t carry the baby for 9 months, he didn’t birth him/her. And after all you’ve gonna through, I think cooking is the minimum he could do. So no, you weren’t pregnant together, you had a baby together which is completely different

I commented on a FB post recently that a male actor had just had a baby, and a woman replied "no he hasn't, his wife has"' .... that gave me more of an ick, like obviously the woman birthed the baby but the couple have had a baby together 🙄

@Natalie yeah that was an obvious one 😂 she was just being annoying

I guess I never gave it much thought. But I would say we're having a baby rather than we're pregnant

It doesn’t really bother me, especially if it’s a couple that have been trying for a while. It takes 2 to get pregnant whether you are doing it alone or not it still takes both the parents participating to get pregnant. And to say we are pregnant has nothing to do with birth. It’s not like they say we gave birth.

@Savannah but it’s not like the man is carrying a baby is it? So your logic makes no sense 😂

So even if a couple is trying for ages to start a family and they are both equally excited when it happens for them they can’t say “we are pregnant”?

Either way if your not one of the people in the couple it shouldn’t really bother you. It’s between the 2 that have got pregnant what they want to say. If it was me I would say we are pregnant/we are expecting because whether planned or not it was a joint effort lol. Not like I can get myself pregnant without help 😂😂😂

I really do not care. In the slightest. I don’t tell people until they ask, but regardless.. It doesn’t matter, it’s just a sentence to announce a baby on the way. Why not focus on being happy they’re expecting and excited than finding something to be negative about?

@Bella facts!

😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😑

It doesn’t bother me I don’t get mad at others peoples form of expressing their excitement… like who’s upset at the way someone gets happy ?

I don’t like it lol

Guys I think this post is meant to be lighthearted! Of course we’re still happy for couples who say WE’RE pregnant but also get the ick 😂

@Sorrel right lol it’s not that deep!

My husband announced to his friend that I was pregnant and I found it so cringe, sounded like a teenager 😅 I would have preferred if he said we’re having a baby! Not Kim’s pregnant 😂

Omg why is everything a motive to argue in this bloody app? Grow upppp it’s not that deep

It takes two to make a baby so it doesn’t bother me at all honestly

I think I have more of an ick to the fact that there’s so much care and opinion placed around someone else’s happiness about it. Even though my man isn’t physically pregnant with me, I can count on him to be physically supporting me while we’re BOTH going through this journey. And realistically, just like most things regarding a mom’s pregnancy, it’s not really someone else’s place to inject their opinion on it. Like if it made my heart happy to hear that, why do you think I’m going to care about someone being a hater? Lol

@Kiana like I said above, ANYTHING is a motive to argue on this app. The post was lighthearted and these kind of comments just ruin the mood. I don’t care, it’s not that deep

So basically any opinion that doesn’t agree with yours is not that deep and an argument? You didn’t say anything to anyone agreeing with you and are disregarding the people disagreeing with you. It’s literally a poll of differing opinions, especially regarding someone’s partner, of course there’s going to be some back and forth.

@Kiana your comment made it seem like I’m ruining lives by saying this gives me the ick. You’re clearly part of the percentage who says “we’re pregnant” and that’s okay cause guess what? Idgaf 😂

lol and you’re comment made it seem like every pregnancy isn’t its own journey 💁🏽‍♀️. If you dgaf, quit your animosity lol. You made a post asking for opinions, expect there to be people that disagree and want to give there opinion 🤣

@Kiana and I respect that, opinion is like an a** everyone has their own. But it was the tone and “aggressiveness” of your comment that rubbed me the wrong way and a few comments above as well. Have a good day 😊

Aggressiveness is crazy, seeing as you are going back and forth with people disagreeing with you, and your replies are high-handed at that. If you can’t have a healthy discourse with someone, probably don’t make polls on opinion. Enjoy your time 🤙🏼

@Kiana hence why the use of parentheses but let’s just ignore that shall we? 😂 Wishing you a lovely day and may the shampoo never goes in your eyes during a shower 🙏🏼

They are quotation marks, meaning you meant it exactly as stated🤭 thanks for proving a point though, love that for you. 🥹🫶🏼

@Kiana still going? 😂 it’s not that deep 😘

Oh, I’m sorry, you want the last sarcastic word? Got it, it’s yours sis 😉

@Kiana thank you lovely

I think it bothers me because it reminds me of the influence of the patriarchy lol 🤷‍♀️

I don’t care what people say, we always said “we’re expecting “ because we were both expecting to be parents to a baby. I put it in the same category as people who get the ick over someone saying 24 months instead of 2 years old. Everyone is different, someone said that’s icky when I told them we were expecting and so I told them congrats that’s a you problem 😂 they didn’t comment again haha

It doesn’t give me ick but I think it’s weird👀

I feel strongly about this. Definitely gives me the ick. I AM pregnant. But sure, WE are having a baby lol

It doesn't give me the ick, but I'd definitely never say that because my husband WAS NOT pregnant with me 😒 sometimes I wish I could give him some of the symptoms and pains of pregnancy and childbirth though 😂

@Grace completely unrelated but cute new profile pic!

@Victoria haha thank you!!! Just took it last night, my old one didn't include my daughter, so needed an upgrade!

Doesn’t give me the ick but I don’t say that because my husband thinks it’s weird😂 whenever someone else says it i don’t think they’re saying he’s going to give birth too but more so that he’s being a very supportive partner.

I think it’s sweet because it means the dad is stepping up. Shows some interest and dedication to the baby.

Some partners are extremely involved in pregnancy, would stay awake catering to the pregnant woman when she feels unwell, fulfil her all sorts of cravings and cheer her up in her mood swings, do whatever he can tk help in contractions like massaging back,preparing baths. Etc so they can say we are pregnant because both are sharing the experience in the way that is natural. Saying that will never confuse someone into thinking that the guy will be hoinginto labour...

I never said we are pregnant but I did say we are expecting or I am pregnant.
