Don’t ask intrusive questions about someone’s personal life. If someone wants you to know something personal, they’ll tell you. More often than not, you’ll wish they hadn’t. But you really don't have a right to know anything that you are mildly curious about. Sometimes, people like to keep things to themselves, and that's OK. When they like to share, that's OK, too. (Oversharing, of course, is another issue entirely.)
If you absolutely cannot resist asking a horribly rude question, and the other person refuses to answer, don’t act like he’s the one being an asshole. He isn’t.
While we're talking about intrusive and inappropriate behaviors - people, please, keep your hands off the pregnant ladies. It is so, so, so very insane that people think they can walk up to total strangers and put their hands on bellies just because the woman appears to be pregnant. Anyone tries that BS on me, should the time come, and I will call the police. Also, take a second to think how many types of ass you would feel like if that person was just overweight or had a really big lunch. Or if she reached out and stuck her fingers in your nose ("What? I thought we were touching each other inappropriately?!") And don't do it. Because it's incredible rude and selfish of you to assume that a total stranger would want you touching her just because you got excited over a pregnant belly.
