So I’m on the train. Normal morning commute to work. Luckily it’s not as crowded as normal so I get a seat and an empty seat next to me. At the next stop a woman gets on and sits next to me. It seemed to me like she was struggling to sit in a comfortable way and she her stomach was very round and protruding out of her dress. (It was some kind of form-hugging sweater dress so it was fairly noticeable). 

I also should point out that I am 7 months pregnant myself! I thought we had something in common so I smiled at her and said “when are you due?” She then furrows her eyebrows at me and goes “Pardon me?” 

That’s when I thought maybe she took offense because she doesn’t know me so I was like “oh sorry it’s none of my business.” 

That’s when she narrowed her eyes and said in a snappy way “I’m not pregnant.” Obviously I’m mortified but I kind of froze up and didn’t know what to say so I think I just said “oh”. 

She then gets up and walks to the whole other side of the train even though that meant she had to stand until we got to her stop. So clearly my comment really bothered her :/

I am obviously embarrassed now by the whole thing. But I truly didn’t have any ill intent. 

(I actually texted my husband about this whole situation when I got to work. But his reaction to stuff like this is generally just to make jokes to make me feel better which isn’t always super helpful...)
