I work on a Labor and Delivery floor soo I am asked this question by EVERY single patient.. and was asked everyday through the 3 years of infertility and losses.. It was really hard! Now sometimes I tell my patients "No but we have 2 on the way!" sometimes I just say no still but have a big smile inside knowing that we do have 2 babies coming : )
