Most people would be more embarrassed if the wife is clearly pregnant and nobody thinks they “did it”.

I remember reading about something like that in a book, think they were called Mary & Joseph.

Haha, yes, for the same reason it used to be rude to ask "when are you expecting?", especially if newly married

"Still practicing" is as good an answer as any

(too late to edit...) P.S. Not in the sense of "when will you have a baby", in the sense of "was the baby conceived before the marriage"

That reminds me of my early twenties being embarrassed when my wife told her parents we are trying to get pregnant.

When people would ask us, “when will you have a second baby?” we started to answer, “oh, we figured out what causes it!” which usually shut down that line of questioning.

The alternative sounds worse, no?
