Yeah I've heard that one before, but there's a difference between overweight and pregnant, it's very obvious. You'd have to be a real idiot to mistake fat with pregnant.
Overweight people do not put all their weight on their stomach, it gets distributed around the limbs and the neck and the upper torso as well.
It's still best not to bring it up. I've known folks that, due to series of miscarriages, didn't talk about it until like month 6 or 7. For similar reasons some cultures are different about it. My Russian friend talked about hers, but said in Russia you really don't. Like a family will put together a nursery but not really discuss it until after the baby is born. That was one person for the record, I don't know a ton of Russians, but it kinda indicated different people do it differently.
Actually, people carry weight in different ways. I tend to gain most of my weight in my gut, I have to gain a lot of weight before it becomes noticeable elsewhere.
In high school every one thought the one teacher was pregnant. Nope just getting fat.
You've clearly never seen my father.
Can't be sure, could be a hernia
