You know you are pregnant with multiples when...

MissMandyD

We have this thread on the January 2014 and I thought it would be fun to start here.

You know you are pregnant with multiples when you are referred to as a group and when you are 15 weeks and take a photo with someone who is 20 and you look the same!

Haha! I'm not pregnant anymore, but it wasn't too long ago, so I'll play....

You know you are pregnant with multiples when...

You can't go out in public without people looking at you like you're a time-bomb.

You are best friends with all the receptionists in the OB/MFM's office.

You don't worry about people giving you too many boxes of newborn diapers.

Braxton Hicks is your homeboy.

HattieDornbush

You walk into Walmart and people point, stare, and talk about YOU

You can no longer put your underwear on without assistance

You spend more time with the people at your ob's office than you do with your best friend.

Random people make comments about how big you are going to be.

Family and friends are treating are putting you on restrictions(even though your OB is not) bc you look bigger than you actually are.

When you wish you got a dollar every time you hear "Do twins run in your family?"

Haha! All of the above. Plus...

Leaving a urine sample at your OB office can be an interesting experience. 

You have to use your hands to help support your belly when turning over in bed since it is so heavy.

You've been going to the bathroom multiple times a night for weeks (not just in 3rd tri).

You have to worry about how close your belly is getting to the steering wheel in the car.

This! 

PumpkinAndThePeanut

When the lady at dog daycare says,"Wow, twins... Are you excited, or...?"

When you accidentally turn on the gas burner on your stove with your giant belly when reaching for something in the overhead cabinet.

When you spend more money at BRU than you did on your wedding.

jessibel00

When you have to stop and rest in the middle of a grocery store trip.

When people give you free stuff at restaurants because you look so miserable.

when you hear "double trouble" 463 times a day. 

 

kristen6

When you keep knocking things over with your belly and don't even feel it happening.

When people stare at you, open-mouthed, like they are worried you are going to pop a baby out right in front of them.

Exactly this or "Are your twins natural?"

No - they are made of plastic. Geez. But if you really want to know if I conceived in a bed or in a doctor's office, I am happy to share.

Mrs.Guz

When you go to target and the cashier calls her friends over to show them how big you are like you're some sort if freak of nature.

You buy a cute shirt to wear for your maternity photos... and then three weeks after delivery you put it on again and realize it's actually a dress.

JennP03

When all of your maternity shirts are accidentally midriff baring. 

When you have to do your grocery shopping while riding the electric shopping cart.

When at 24 weeks, people start saying, "You must be due any day now." 

workerbee82

You pull into a parking spot next to another car, cannot open your driver's side door wide enough to get out of the car, and have to move to another spot so you CAN open your door and hoist yourself out of the car.

Worse: coming back to said car only to find that another car is in the spot next to your driver's side and they have parked reaaaaaaally close to yours.

aridobbs

The parking spot thing. And when people say "Bless your heart" when you say you're only 21 weeks.

My postpartum add for "you know you were pregnant with multiples when...
A week after giving birth, while pushing the double stroller, you're asked "so, when are you due?"

katiebenes

Mine:

People constantly ask "any day now huh?"

You get kicked at the top AND the bottom of the ute... at the same time

People are freaked out by how much your belly is moving when they both get going.

People constantly ask/tell you how much pain you must be in, how miserable you must be, how huge you're going to get... etc

katiebenes

also: when you seriously think about how much you need something and if it is enough to require you getting up

When you wish you got a dollar every time you hear "Do twins run in your family?"

Or:

"are they identical or fraternal?"

"You can have identical boy/girl twins, right?"
