"we're pregnant".

Post Reply New Topic

Why do people object to "we're pregnant"? Isn't it really any different than saying "we drove to the store"? Both people obviously didn't drive the car, but no one objects to saying it that way. Why is "we're pregnant" different?

Who knows? At least with pregnancy both people played a part in it.

My impression is that couples like to share the experience together these days. It takes two to tangle, so both parties like to celebrate.

I once saw a card in a store that said "We're going to have a baby!" and then inside it said "Well, one of us is. The other is just going to stand there and try not to pass out".

Even so, "We're having a baby" makes much more sense than "We're pregnant". The father isn't going to spend the next nine months going through horrors such as being violently sick every morning, growing to the size of a whale with a glandular problem, and then finally the fabulous and fun-filled excruciating agony of pushing something the size of a watermelon through an opening in your body the size of a dime. Men sure have got it easy.
