  You don't tell your friends and family when you experience a life changing event? Just let everyone figure it out when you start showing up places with a baby?
context: You should make a big deal over it the next time someone says it to you.  Be the change you want to see in the world. >
  
  The average man gains 14 pounds during his partners pregnancy and can also experience ppd so 🤷‍♀️ >
  
  Confirmed. Gained 9. We had a lot of ice cream and treats in the house. I also experienced a huge loss in libido that my doctor expected. A man’s hormones do shift (temporarily) when they’re going to have a child. There’s very powerful pheromones that will affect your mood and brain when the pregnant woman is your mate. 
  Those men who haven’t yet become fathers or weren’t actively there for their wife/gf won’t ever understand it. It also won’t happen if she’s a sister or a cousin or otherwise not your partner. >
  
  If someone takes that expression literally they are either looking for something to be upset about or they may just be dumb. >
  
  Unless both people are actually pregnant >
  
  I agree, it's really cringe. >
  
  “We are expecting” always begs for a follow-up question ... What? A velociraptor? 
  I like to use “We” for everything. Even when I have no intention of doing anything. We will cleaning the basement (by we I mean my kids). We will be taking inventory today (be we my staff) ... I feel like it shows my supportive spirit! >
  
  As a father, I'm bemused to note that my wife insisted on that terminology during her pregnancy. I attempted a few objections, to no avail.
  Given that she was undoubtedly doing the work, I had to concede the definition to her. >
  
  I think announcing pregnancy in general is weird. Congrats on having unprotected sex?
