My cousin looks like she might be expecting but she hasnt told anyone and i dont want to assume or make it awkward. How do u even bring it up politely without offending? Need some wording help.
Honestly ask about how she's feeling and if she needs any help, that's more useful than 20 questions. When I was pregnant and working, the friend who just said tell me if u need anything was my fav.
Just keep it light and warm yaar, something like how are u feeling these days? Dont go straight into when is the due date and all if they havent shared much. Let them open up at their pace.
Be gentle and dont assume. If someone hasnt told u directly, dont ask outright if they're pregnant, that can be awkward. A simple how are u doing lately is the kindest way.
I totally understand wanting to show u care. I loved when people asked me softly how I was feeling rather than firing questions. Just ask with love and really listen, that means everything.
