I was standing there as this happened to a lady at a bridal shower. She had her 4 month (!!) old daughter in her arms and the mother of the bride asked her when she was due. :/
The lady, god bless her, laughed and pointed to her daughter and then proceeded to say that she just takes awhile to lose the baby weight and her stomach is the last place for it to leave (she has an older child as well). The mother of the bride turned 12 shades of red. I just stood there with my mouth gaping open because I couldn't believe the whole scene.
I'm sorry that it happened to you. People can be quite insensitive.
That happened when Michael was 6 weeks old, at a party. DH was there, and said "She's not pregnant, but here is a photo of our 6 week old." Some people have no class. I had a coworker ask me if I knew what I was expecting last week, I had no idea what she was asking. She felt bad when I told her I am not pregnant, and it made me feel like crap that I look like I am big enough to be able to tell what sex a baby is! blah.
Oh no! This happens to my friend all.the.time and she's really fit. Once, the lady had the balls to tell her it must have been the way her dress was 'poufing'.

I had someone walk over to me (like, with purpose) while i was pushing my 2w old twins in a huge stroller in Ikea... ask "are they twins?"... and then say "OMG, don't tell me you are expecting again???"... I said "no, that is fat leftover from the twins- but thanks".
I mean really??? I have INFANTS in front of me - if by some miracle i was pregnant again, how could i even be that pregnant to have a huge belly??
and it was a woman - so NO excuse other than stupidity.
I had this happen to me at Target ON THE SAME DAY that a really sweet little old lady came up to me in the Pedi's parking lot and asked if DS was adopted, because there was NO WAY I had just had a baby.
PS DS was one week old and I was almost 200 lbs looked about 5 months pregnant. That little old lady made my day, The asshole at Target destroyed it.
