[QUOTE="Jenny15, post: 1809112, member: 196992"] I have been asked if I am pregnant a few times over my life. Now that I'm nearly 50 I hope it stops. It's an extremely rude question to ask a stranger, an acquaintance or a patient. It's tantamount to saying "I think you look fat and I want to discuss that with you for some reason." And if a nurse must ask a patient, he or she should phrase it differently. Like "is there a chance you could be pregnant" while not looking at your belly, in the way radiographers ask every woman before taking x-rays. I started responding to people with "no, why do you ask?" They seemed to clam up at that point.;) [/QUOTE]
