A man is not pregnant.Why do we need to have a mna at the top of everything that is designed for the woman? Everything is not about the man/husbands. Please allow the woman to get her autonomy, foe once. He drives the car when their families go somewhere, and we always people always speak of the man as the provider. Now for once, let the woman have a piece fo the pie!!!!! | |

| Mar 13, 2013 at 16:56 | comment | added | user38984 | I love that phrase, it makes it sound like it might not be a baby "Were expecting a baby, but it might be a velociraptor" | |
| Mar 13, 2013 at 14:11 | comment | added | Tim Lymington | As GEdgar said, anybody can expect a baby, just as anybody can expect a rainshower. Parents, unsurprisingly, use the phrase most often. Dan was correct, but could have explained better. | |
| Mar 13, 2013 at 14:04 | comment | added | DCS | @TimLymington: But you agree with Dan that "we are expecting a baby" is not considered funny to say for a man, or have accepted prematurely? | |
| Mar 13, 2013 at 14:01 | comment | added | Tim Lymington | @tchrist: have you not encountered proud fathers-to-be who say "We're pregnant"? Being polite, I try not to laugh out loud. | |
