I had a friend who had liver damage that was so severe she looked a full 9 months pregnant from the fluid backing up. She was an alcoholic and refused to see a Dr until it was too late to save herself. She wouldn't leave her house the last few months before she died because she knew she'd be asked if she was pregnant every time. She was very skinny otherwise.

There are many reasons not to ask a woman about it. She may have a medical problem and doesn't want to have to explain it. She may have just had a miscarriage or have found out that the baby's life isn't viable. It totally outweighs any benefit of asking without knowing the situation ahead of time.

I had a similar shirt and was wearing it BOTH times when I was asked. I carry a lot of my weight in the torso and thought that style of shirt was a fix for my problem. One of those times I was target shooting at an outdoor gun range with a male friend and this redneck woman collecting people's brass asked me if I was pregnant. I said No. Then she said: Well, did you USED to be pregnant? I'd been was reloading when she'd walked up and I looked at my friend and joked "Accidents happen". The woman finally got the point and scurried back up to the long gun range, lol.

Not to the letter, no, but using contextual clues and critical thinking, I can identify the OP's intent, and I translated it to the correct spelling and grammar so that you would understand.

You seem to have forgotten that not everyone on the internet writes perfect english... not even me.

But then again, maybe I'm wrong, and the OP can step in if they so choose.
