Me and some other family members think my cousin in-law is pregnant because everytime we see her, her belly looks bigger. She has a two year old and has been with her boyfriend (my cousin) for about three years, so it is very likely that they are sexually active. What are some signs to know if someone is pregnant? Oh yeah, and I don't think she is just gaining weight because she eats pretty healthy.

If there is one thing I've learned, you never ask a woman if she is pregnant. Never. If she doesn't tell you on her on own, she either isn't ready to, or it's none of your business.
If you are really curious here are some tips:
You should know that every woman and every pregnancy is different.
Watch her body language. Does she move any differently? Watch for her to touch her belly.
She may complain of ligament pains in the sides of her abdomen. She may get sick often, have a decrease of appetite in early stages or increase at about 4 months.
If she has been pregnant before, her uterus will expand and pregnancy hormones will develop quicker. If she is pregnant her belly will expand in height not width meaning it will be more like a arch from her pubic bone to abdomen. Also it isn't just your belly that indicates pregnancy. Look for extra roundness in her face, breasts, and just an all over changing shape. Things really shift when a woman is pregnant.
Anyway, I hoped this helped.

Is there a reason your family doesn't ask her if she's pregnant? Some people gain weight after having a child their metabolism goes crazy. If you are afraid of insulting her by asking, just casually mention when are they planning on having another one not that their little one is growing up. That usually does the trick. But a couple signs are always sleepy, very moody, definitely watch what they eat, rub their belly alot, and the infamous pregnant waddle. Good Luck, I would just casually ask when are they going to have another one, that way if she is pregnant she will say so.

The BEST way is to just ask her because sometimes just because they have a belly and eating habits that does NOT always mean that they are. Some people hide it VERY well. I did with 2 of my pregnancy's! I just was scared something was going to happen like my stillborn and I didn't want people to question me about it! After I got to my 5-6 month THEN I told every one! So just take a deep breath and ask her all she can do is say yes or no! BEST WISHES!

There are a few early subtle physical signs, skin softer, more susceptible to sun IE better tan, a darkness on cheeks called Chloasma and of course the usual morning sickness, odd cravings....
Other things are those checked for by a Dr, although a swollen abdomen may or may not indicate an ongoing pregnancy. You really need to check with a pregnancy test with urine or a blood sample to check hormone of pregnancy levels.

well snoopy, why dont you ask her? Yeah, u right it is quite a shameful thing to ask. O well, wait a few months (usually 9) and you will see.
Make a bigger *** of her by taking bets with your family members in the meanwhile

They become increasingly more round, also moody. Also after about nine months they will have a child..this is a fairly good indicator because it has become increasingly difficult to have a child without first becoming pregnant. However luckly our government is working on this issue.

Have you asked her if she's pregnant? Because that seems like the easiest way to me.
Also, if she hasn't told you anything, she either isn't pregnant, or figures it's none of your business.

Low energy, moody, back pain. Look for these signs. If I were you I would just ask her.
