Why do married men/women sometimes say "we're pregnant" when ONLY the woman is actually pregnant?

    Because they are trying to be cute.  It makes me throwup in my mouth a little when I hear that.

    Yes, both parents contribute to the conception, but this is just too cutsey for me and it makes me hate men who try and please women by acting like they are women too. 

    STUPID.

    I suppose I'll have to take all this back the day the medical science finds a way for men to get pregnant.

    Somewhere along the line, there is always a "we" involved to get the total number of chromosomes necessary..

      That still doesn't make up for the sickening "we're pregnant" phrase.

    As you wish.

    Not all pregnant women have morning sickness.

      I'm not referring even in the least to pregnant women's morning sickness.

    The use of cutesy phrases such as "we're expecting" of demasculinating phrases, sickens me. That's what I meant with the photo I posted, not anything about pregnant women having morning sickness.
