I agree that you should never ask someone if they're pregnant--if you're wrong, you'll just upset them, and if you're right, maybe they're not ready to share it. But the tweens that follow them don't understand that.
I was really bloated for a time from Crohn's, and a friend who hadn't seen me in a few months came up and gave me a big hug, and said, "Wow, you're pregnant! That's so great!" Nope. Just fat. Thanks.

I've had random people ask me before if I'm pregnant. Nope I'm just fat. Thanks.
but seriously ever since I got married everything I do has become a "pregnancy symptom". I'm tired = pregnant. I'm sick = pregnant. I'm hungry = pregnant. I can see why Missy and Ellie get so angry when they're constantly asked if they're pregnant because it's very very annoying. It's like your worth to your family (and your viewers) is tied to your ability to pop out children and it's frustrating. No one asks me about if I want to go back to school or how the job search is going or how I'm handling marriage, it's all about my plans for getting pregnant and if I am pregnant. It's a thousand times worse for Missy and Ellie when they do a Q&A video because they're not asked about their hobbies or their interests, but about the state of their bodies and their relationship with their children. And so in this regard I can sympathize with Missy and Ellie and a lot of female vloggers.
