I admit that in a couple of cases I've cautiously asked as to whether or not it's good news when I couldn't tell from the way the pregnant person told me. I don't want to offer congratulations to somebody when they think it's the worst thing that could have happened. Or sympathy when they think it's the best.

But yeah, people do ask incredibly intrusive questions sometimes. For some reason that tendancy seems to get so much worse around pregnancy. (And let's not even go into the inappropriate touching.)
