  Im sure she has just got lucky. Have you told anyone else at work in confidence and they have spilled the beans (thats what happened to me and I was furious).
  
  Some women do glow in pregnancy so maybe you look a bit different, especially to women who have had children already.

  My mum can sometimes tell just to look at people. When I first was pregnant she asked me when I was only six weeks gone- it wasn't nice coz I wasn't ready to tell her but as it was my mum I didn't want to lie so just said yes!!
  
  Also a couple of years ago my mum said she thot our next door neighbour might be pegnant- I asked her why she thot this and she couldn't give any real reason- about two weeks later our neighbour told us she was pregnant.
  
  She is a freaky woman

  I would be a bit annoyed if someone asked me that before I was ready to announce it - am I just being a hormonal grump? Some people really do have a bit of an intuition for that sort of thing, you should just lie until you are ready to tell everyone.

  I've had this happen to me but I wasn't pregnant (but at the time was hoping I was) a work colleague asked me if i was as I looked really serene! whatever that meant but I wasn't. I've also had people blab - a few years ago I found out i was pg, told MIL and she blabbed, a few wks later I miscarried and the people she blabbed to came up to congratulate me - I was soooo upset! Nx time will only tell my mum and manager until im at least 12wks!

  I had this I told a friend in confidence she told her bf who told everyone then I was in agony thought I was miscarryng turned into a complete wreak and it took me months to forgive her I am now 32 wks but it really took the joy out of it for me as I wanted to tell people when I was ready and when I was in such pain and people kept saying I hear you are pregnant it was horrible as I thought I was losing him. I wouldn't have minded if someone had guessed but I was furious my friend let me down like that and really hurt as I thoght I could trust her - she know I had m/c before so know why I wanted it kept quiet until I was sure all ok.

  Is it an older women? They are often very good at telling by the changes in your face. It's odd but it works.

  Its so rude and annoying when people just ask you! If I'd wanted everyone to know in the early stages you'd tell them! I had people gossiping behind my back at work cause clearly wearing (non maternity) smock tops must mean I'm pregnant!! They hadn't noticed the maternity pants... just the fact that I got new tops!
  
  Have you changed any habits at all that might give people a clue? When the girl I work with was pregnant, she started eating loads...me being oblivious joked that she had worms!! Someone else at work put that together with her not drinking on a night out and switching to decaf tea and coffee and guessed - but didn't ask! Also anything as simple as a doctors appointment can make people suspicious if they are like that!
  
  My ex-boss used to ask me if I was pregnant any time I mentioned feeling sick or having a docs appt!
  
  I think its just people gossiping tbh - rather than some mysterious way of knowing!

  Hi girls
  
  People were like that at my work too - constantly asking me questions like had i been to the pub at the weekend and another asked if i celebrated my 30th by having a few drinks and i just said no i hadnt (which i suppose gave it away) and then another colleague got suspicious as i had my booking in appointment and she wondered why i was at the 'dentist' so long. Then other colleagues were guessing as they said i kept going to the loo (which tbh didnt go any more frequently than i usually did!). After i announced it officially at around 13 weeks one colleague said to me 'well i thought you were pregnant coz you are starting to show' which i didnt think i was at all and think i have only just started to show these last few weeks (at around 18 - 19 wks)

  Girls from my work knew for weeks before i told them, but they didn't want to mention it incase i took it the worng way and felt insulted! I thought it was kinda sweet as they were keeping an eye on my and i didn't know.

  Whilst we were on holiday in Oct 07 a lady we had never met asked us if we had any babies, we replied "no" (as we don't yet) she said "you will have very soon". A week after we returned I found out I was pregnant! Some people can just tell!! I must have only been about 2 weeks when she said this to me.
