It's 2022, Stop Asking Women This Question

If you are or have ever been a woman aged anywhere between about 16 and 50, no doubt you will have been asked at some point whether you're pregnant, or when you're planning to have a baby, but why does anyone think it's their business to ask?

It can be not only incredibly annoying, but also upsetting if it impacts your body image, triggering if you have struggled with fertility, and just downright frustrating if you have zero interest in giving birth.

To find out why this is still such a common problem, The Quicky speaks to one of our own resident mums who has had a very complicated journey to parenthood, and knows first hand just how irritating it is for all women whether they want to become a parent or not.
