Inappropriate pregnancy announcement reactions

[Snacks]

“Well that’s a very personal question, so tell me, when did you last have sex and what sort of contraception did you use?”

LOL, perfect.
Sorry that thoughtless people are getting you down, Rach. People suck. xx

OMG sarah that's one of the most offensive things I've ever heard

Sex is part and parcel of pregnancy announcements, sure. No argument there. The difference is that that's assumed knowledge and doesn't need to be elaborated on (unless the announcer particularly wants to I guess). I do think that if you ask for more details then that's prying. Some people are ok with it, I wouldn't be. Not even from my sister, my mother or my best friend. I might volunteer information but I'd think them insensitive if they asked me.
But there's difference also in the amount people are willing to share... I've a friend who shared WAY more than I was comfortable with when she was TTC. *shudder* Still trying to get over that one, LOL!

There's also a difference in how much people are willing to ask ... I have one friend who (in the middle of a dinner party, might I add) asked over the table (and no, she was not directly opposite me) with questions like, "Hey, peanutter, what's a plug?" etc ...

ah, the wonderfully inquisitive minds of my friends ...
