Techinically, it's only the woman who is pregnant so there's no 'we' in the pregnancy equation.
So why do couples call me up and say "we're pregnant"....I hate that...I work at a baby clothing store and I get that line all the time...
To whoever says that
I hope your baby turns into a cannibal while still in your womb and tears you up from the inside.
LOL!

YES! I never allowed my husband to say that! The woman goes through all the pain and hell, not the man!

He'll yeah. It's so annoying. Yes the man's life will change to but he is NOT pregnant. I'm the ******* pregnant one. It's just an annoying thing to say.

Yeah, that's rather harsh and with an opinion like that I would recommend a career change. Saying "we" are pregnant is a result of the acceptance of the fact that a man's life also changes dramatically with the coming of his child. And if he's any kind of partner, he's experiencing many things at least to some degree that the woman is going through. He's the one running to store at all hours, he's at the brunt of her mood swings, he gets to do the heavy lifting, the list goes on. Some men even get sympathy pains, morning sickness, etc. in addition to or instead of the woman.

i wager this is because they're saying that as a pair.. In different words, they're anticipating. HE were given her pregnant! I supppose I comprehend the position it comes from yet really the girl IS pregnant! "ALL you want is LOVE" The B E A T L E S!!! Vincent Reagan Hawkeye :) ;)

There's the joke about the Lone Ranger and Tonto. They're trotting along the open plain, when suddenly they're being chased by a thousand screaming Indians, who chase the dynamic duo into a box canyon. As they round the corner, they come to a dead end - no way out.
The Lone Ranger turns to Tonto and says "Well, old buddy, looks like we're dead!"
Tonto replies "What you mean 'WE', Paleface?"

Well, what's the guy supposed to say?
"She's pregnant." Sounds like he had nothing to do with it.
What's the girl supposed to say?
"I'm pregnant." Same problem.
They're in it together. In fact, a father undergoes hormonal and neurological changes during his partner's pregnancy: he becomes more even-tempered and nurturing, and actually gets smarter. Plus, he's undertaking to feed, clothe, shelter, and educate the adorable parasite. Why shouldn't they say, "We're pregnant"?

I can agree with the "we're pregnant" bit. I understand why people say it (I think) and maybe it's to involve the male?? It rubs me the wrong way though because I want to just start rubbing the man's stomach and say, "Twins?"

Actually NO that doesn't bother me. Being almost 10 weeks pregnant, I have other things I can concern myself with.
