Feeling blue...looking pregnant?
Laura, honey, you look FABULOUS, and you can't fix stupid. People speak before they think. So here are my thought-out responses to your situation.
I'm guessing that the people who have asked if you're pregnant know you? At least are aquainted with you? Perhaps they know how old your son is and are REALLY thinking "it's about time she poop out another baby!" None of their damn beeswax.
Could it be possible that you need to buy yourself some smaller, better fitting scrubs??? I know I avoid babydoll type tops, or overly baggy tops for that very reason. (Although as a side note, if anyone asked ME if I'm pregnant, I'd laugh so freakin' hard they'd walk away humiliated!)
As for the thought that you'll look sick, they don't know you as a "normal" size - or God forbid, "thin" - person! You're smaller than you've probably ever been in your adult life, and they can't get past how DIFFERENT that is! I think all you can do is have the confidence to say "Thanks for being concerned, but I'm quite healthy - healthier than I've been in a LONG TIME! My doctor and I will decide when I've lost enough."
And if all else fails, when you get those meat-head comments, borrow from our beloved Tracy L. and reply "Did that sound better in your head???"

Imperfect does not = unsuccessful
Poor thing!!! I would just use Tracy's line~~~
"Did that sound better in your head?"
You're doing great -- funny how people think it is okay to ask "how much more weight are you gonna lose? but no one asked you "how much more weight are you gonna gain". Why do they think it is different? Either way -- how rude!!!

First of all - I LOVE your new pic - FAB!!! Secondly, you are the absolute last person I would suspect is prego. Are you wearing clothes that are too big for you - could that be why people are asking?
Don't let it bug you - these are the people I refer to when I say the word STUPIDIOTIC!
Take care girlie - you're fabulous!
