Then, I guess many Indian people have this part endearing and part infuriating habit of pointing you in the “good” direction, and these questions about babies are perhaps actually indirect questions about your married life. Just like a MIL may tell you to comb your hair because a nice appearance is a proof of a happy marriage, or a SIL may ask bluntly if her brother is treating you well (both things happened to me). As westerners we may feel insulted and reply snarkely, but I don’t think these comments are meant to embarass. It’s just like the small talk British people make about the weather. “It’s a bit chilly today, isn’t it ? Yes, and when is baby due ? After the rains, old chap” 🙂
