It's a phrase that every pregnant woman is familiar with: Is the baby here yet?
If your pregnancy goes to term, or perhaps even over, you'll be hearing this (increasingly annoying) question from all sides several times a day.
We're provided some snappy answers to keep prying (and well meaning) friends and family at bay until you can answer in the affirmative.
A good way to start is with this website:
www.haveyouhadthatbabyyet.com
The answer is clear:
NOPE
But in case that doesn't work for you, here are our favourite ways to reply to "Did you have the baby yet?":

"Yes, but he wasn't ready, so we put him back in."
"Nope, still not here yet."

"Wait, you thought I was pregnant? I'm not pregnant! RUDE."

"No baby yet."

"Yes, I did. And I told everyone except you."
"One.More.Time."
"Stop pestering me!"
"Let me know..."
In the end: "A baby is never late. Everyone else is just early."

Do you have a snappy comeback? Let us know!
