22+ Funny Responses to “Are You Pregnant?” (From Polite to Blunt)

Whether you are pregnant or not, being asked if you’re pregnant rarely feels good, does it?

If you’re not pregnant, it can be quite offensive and insulting. If you are pregnant, you know you’re pregnant and you don’t need people asking you or reminding you every day.

It’s up to you how you choose to answer this question. If you want to avoid upsetting someone, however, it’s best to bite your lip if you’re getting frustrated.

Instead, responding with a funny or sarcastic remark is the best way to get the point across that you don’t want to talk about it – without offending anyone (hopefully).

To help you arm yourself with some funny responses to “are you pregnant?” here are some of the things you can say:

Blunt Responses to Stop Someone Asking if You’re Pregnant

If being asked if you’re pregnant or when you’re going to have kids is really getting on your nerves, you could try these blunt responses:

• I have no idea, and if I did I probably wouldn’t be announcing it to you first.
• It’s really none of your business and I could do without you asking that, thanks.

Some Tips for Dealing With Unwanted Questions

Having a funny or quick-witted response ready is great and it’s going to help a lot, but I thought I’d share some additional tips to help you deal with unwanted questions in general.

Some of the best tried and tested ways to deal with unwanted questions without making the situation any more awkward than it needs to be are:

Having an answer ready – This is what we’ve covered in this post. Being able to fire off an answer helps avoid awkward stuttering, pausing, and anxiety.

If you’re opting to use humor, that’s great. Humor is one of the best ways to divert attention away from you, just make sure it’s appropriate for the person you’re speaking to.

Change the subject – If you don’t want to answer a question but you don’t want to come across as rude, simply change the subject with your reply.

You can either be completely obvious about doing this if you think the person needs a strong hint, or you can do it subtly.

Be direct about your feelings – No matter who is asking you a question; friends, family members, etc. you have the right to tell them you don’t want to answer.

Too many people feel obliged to answer personal questions – but you should never feel like this.

If you don’t want to answer a question, telling the person asking the question by saying something like “I really don’t feel comfortable answering that” is perfectly fine.

Be ambiguous with your answer – If you find it hard to be direct or tell someone you don’t want to answer them, you can always try and be ambiguous with your answer.

This isn’t always easy to do, and it will cause some curious people to ask even more questions and probe even deeper.

But it’s the right thing to do in some situations. It’s a great way to avoid telling a lie or not answering at all.

Stall on them – some questions you want to hear, but they’ve just come a little bit too soon.

Like when you’re asked if you’re pregnant, you may want to tell the person, and lying about it will cause a problem – but you want to tell other people first.

In this case, you need to prepare a way to stall answering. Just simply saying, “I’m actually waiting on the results/test” might do the trick.

The key is being prepared – I wish you good luck!
