Optilady, I used to get asked if I was pregnant all the time, or when I was due, like literally at least once a month, and I weighed 115 pounds! I think people just want their lady opticians to be pregnant!
Funny thing is? Now I AM pregnant, and haven't been asked once since I have been!
A few years ago, I witnessed one such pregnancy dispute between two of my friends. The guy (admittedly an idiot...but we still love him anyway) asked to which my female friend replied no. She told me about it later at work. The guy came back over, so the three of us were there and the subject came back up. To defend his earlier question (this is where he displays how much of an idiot he is), he says. 'Well...' and makes an exaggerated big belly with his hand - with her right there! Yes she had a little (and I mean little) tiny bit of a belly, but I felt bad for her.
Since she was a very good friend, and we could say anything comfortably, I told her I just assumed she was preggers because her boobs were getting massive. That made her happy. :)
To the original poster, if your avatar is a picture of you - you are a fantastic looking woman and I'm sure you have nothing to worry about. :)

So I can now one up myself. Today I had a woman pat my stomach, and ask if I was expecting. So I said no...and then she said I should start working out.
Who wants to join me for a shot?
by the way, I've lost 40 pounds since I started this thread. :)
Congrats Slim!
Sometimes you just gotta wonder how all these people get through life blurting out things.
You are beautiful to all of us just the way you are.
I came, I saw, I left
(shaking my head) I really wonder about people.....I guess it is the overall lack of manners anymore.....and the rampant idea that everybody thinks that THEY are the ones that look at 'life' the RIGHT WAY! Lol! It's really too simple, but if we just used the idea, "would I want someone to do this to me" and use that as our guide.....I think we'd see a lot different behavior towards others!

Who the heck touches someone else without an invitation, especially in that area ?
Holy. Crap. I just cant....
Congratulations on the weight loss, but really? REALLY? And to touch you to boot!?
Speaking of abdominal areas....anyone tries that on me and I will eviscerate them.

She's actually still hung up about it! We called to let her know her glasses were done, and she told my female colleague to go out and get a life and start walking, thinking it was me! At this point it's so funny we just joke that I'm glowing with pregnancy. Thankfully I have tomorrow off and she's coming in so I don't have to deal with the old wacko.
I work in an office where most of our patients are over the age of 85... I get the same questions. I had one lady ask me if I was pregnant and when I said no she told me that I should stand straighter and wear better clothes. I blame it on the geriatric thing. They all become rude at that age.
