There's a joke about that. It's not a very good joke, but it goes like this:

A young woman had just gotten married. She and her husband went off on a wonderful honeymoon in Europe, then came home and settled down into married life. It happened that they lived very close to the woman's parents, who'd be over for dinner at least once a week.

Now, one day a couple of years after the wedding, the woman was having coffee with some friends, and one of them asked her if she and her husband were planning on having children. She replied that they would love to have children, but she was afraid they couldn't have their own. They would have to adopt. This was the first her friends had heard of it, and they were full of sympathy.

"You both always seemed so healthy!" one of the friends said.

"Oh, it's nothing wrong with me or my husband," the woman assured her. "It's just that... well, mother's always over for supper and if I were pregnant, she'd know we'd been up to something!"
