Pregnancy and April fools!?

Question

So I've been seeing many women post that they don't want to see the overused April fools joke claiming that a woman is pregnant, but it's only a joke. They say that it's offensive to women. Am I the only one who agrees that the joke is overused, but it's not offensive? It's not even funny anymore, but is it really okay to upset about this? Thoughts, anyone?

Answer

To be honest I do take it offensive, but only because I do believe people joke about it way too much. I have a sister in law who is not able to have kids, but would do anything to be able to. She's tried fertility treatments, but nothing has worked. When she gets enough money saved, she is supposed to be adopting, but I don't know, maybe it's just me, or maybe it's because I actually have someone I'm close to that can't have kids. I just feel like it's not something to joke about. There's a lot of people who try and try for years to get pregnant and just can't.

Answer

I think some people need to take a chill pill ✌

Answer

I think the women that get really upset with it are suffering from infertility. It's a rough thing to deal with.

Answer

I did it to my mom once. I thought it was hilarious. I was 20 and my daughter was a couple months old. She was freaking out and it was glorious.

Answer

If you want to play it in some family that's one thing. But to throw it out in social media where you don't know everyone super well can be hurtful. You never know. Someone could have just had a miscarriage and you are over here laughing about how awful it would be if you really were pregnant. How would you like it if someone said they were diagnosed with cancer. April fools!! And someone you knew just died from cancer. It's not very funny to make up things like that. Usually anything medical shouldn't be joked about in my opinion.

Answer

I don't think it's funny at all, it may be a joke to you, but to other women it's definitely not.. Some Women have a very hard time getting pregnant, and seeing someone taking everything as a joke hurts them because couples really want to get pregnant, and others joke about it thinking it's funny, but it's definitely not funny at all. Just my OPINION. No hate, if you don't like the comment, please don't comment and waste time.

Answer

Personally, I think its offensive to men who truly want to have kids. Some men have gotten really hurt over the trickery of their kids lives. To lie to someone and say that the life that they helped make is growing inside of you, and then to say just kidding, is just cruel in my opinion. Just my thoughts :)

Answer

Yea it's overused but I don't think it's that big of a deal. Some people are just super sensitive about things that don't even have anything to do with them.

Answer

My cousin kinda did. She told her husband on April fools that she was pregnant. But she really was. She told him that day knowing he would think it was a joke but nope she then showed test and was like no. Not April fools. I'm really pregnant. It was funny and cute

Answer
