What to say when someone says do you know what causes that when you’re pregnant

People think they are being incredibly witty when they ask a pregnant woman, “Do you know what causes that?” The question gets pretty old fast, especially when you are asked the same question three times every outing.

Mothers of large families have heard it all before, maybe folks are trying to be friendly, and want to start up a conversation but it gets incredibly annoying after a while.

In large centers with an expensive cost of living, women are having fewer children at a later age. Large families aren’t very common anymore, they are in fact are a novelty.

Back in the late 1800s, it would be common to have 9 children, can you imagine having that many kids today with the expectations of parents! No wonder there weren’t any helicopter parents in the 1800s, how could you micromanage 8 kids?

Here are some fun things you can say to play along next time someone asks if you know what causes that.

How to respond when you're asked if you are your child's grandparent

With the cost of living becoming so expensive and new technology options, people are choosing to have children at a much later age.

Older mothers are becoming the new normal, if you chose to have children later in life it may not come as a surprise to be asked the dreaded question, “Are you the grandmother?” Most people who ask this question will be mortified when you answer, and they realize what they have just said. Some women are new moms at 40 others are grandmas at 42.

Kathy was unable to have a child, when a new technology was available she tried it out and became an older mother at 43. She was blessed with a wonderful daughter who is her pride and joy.

When her daughter started school, one of her young friends would continually ask if she was the Grandmother. It was embarrassing in front of some of the younger moms and other parents. Just know that you are not alone, Kelly Preston announced her pregnancy when she was 47.
