It is nobody's business at all and like you say what if it is can't rather than anything else? There are many reasons why I don't want children and having to explain myself over and over again is very frustrating. I can only imagine how it is when people are asking about further off spring but I would imagine that it is similar in many ways and you have my sympathy.

(I mean to ask her in the interview, not if she plans to give birth right there, unless perhaps she is vastly pregnant and undergoing contractions, in which case I can see why an interviewer might be curious.) It's also one of the great unthinking smalltalk questions, like "why aren't you married?" and "how do you like your job?" All you can do is give a glib response and seethe for the rest of the day.
