Im so tired of hearing..

"wow you're huge!"  especially from those who know we are having twins.  I am 19 weeks and have gained 23 pounds.  At first I didn't mind hearing that, but now I cringe everytime someone says that.  Like I said, to those that dont know we are having twins, I understand the shock when they see me.  But for those  who know we are having twins, I just want to say "shut the f' up already, I know im huge!" Does it every get better?

 

Thanks for letting me vent!

I don't know what's worse, I keep hearing "You're so small for having twins" and that is pretty annoying too.  Especially since I know I'm HUGE, I just want to tell people, "You don't have to lie to me, I know I'm huge."  At 32 weeks I was measuring 40, I'm big, I know it!

Yeah, I get the size comments in both directions (though I usually get more just "Wow!" in response to belly pics rather than an actual "You're huge!") and a lot of, "you're small for twins." I think both are annoying. Why can't people just say "you look great!" and leave it at that?

Heh -- I remember whenever asked me when I was due, and I told them, I had a need to explain that I was having twins... Don't know why I did that, because that caused them to ask even more questions (which is especially annoying in the grocery store in the self-checkout isle, when I am trying to scan my things). So eventually I started telling people that my due date was a month or month and a half earlier, just not to have to answer questions...

I can imagine that would be really annoying.  so far everyone is telling me I don't look pregnant at all, and I wish someone would say...gee you look pregnant.  I've gained 7 pounds so far all together.  I can't wait for my belly to pop out in the middle so I actually look pregnant and not just like I'm getting fatter.

I can totally relate to this. It's so silly that the comments are starting to bug me a little. I'm getting really good at the fake smile. People will say, "you look small for twins" and I don't know why it bothers me. I feel like a mountain, how the hell could I be small? And then I completely understand about feeling like I have to explain myself when someone asks when I'm due and then they look at me and I feel like they are thinking..."you better hold off on those ring dings b/c you look due today!"...ha..ha. I always feel relieved when I'm able to blurt out that I'm having twins and that's why I'm so huge this early. So funny, the range of emotions we have. Oh and I cannot wait for Christmas to get all the family comments!

I had a great rule while pregnant.

?

Anyone was allowed to comment about how big/small/swollen/etc I look as long as they said "Wow, you look amazing!" first. ?And I made no secret about my rule. ?It kind of became a joke. ?Wow, you look amazing...I can't believe how big you are! ?

?

It's a lot different than "Wow, you're huge" ?I was upfront with people about it and mostly let it slide off. ?I was so amazed to be pregnant (and to stay pregnant after some unexpected complications) and what my body was doing. ?With strangers (who I didn't tell my "rule" to) I would say, "I know, there's twins in there ya know...aren't I amazing?"

?

But I was weird. ?I loved being pregnant. ?I loved what my body was doing. ?And I loved the attention. ?Yup, AW. ?:)?

Even though I have felt huge since early on, so many people have been telling me how small I am for twins. I certainly dont feel that way. At my dr appt  at 32 weeks I was measuring 43 cm. Now it is funny because the other days be several different strangers at the store I heard, "are you having twins? Your belly sure it out there!"

See, this is when you can start having some fun with people.  Next stranger that makes a comment you are huge, give a big sigh and say, oh I know, and I'm two weeks past my due date!  More points if it's a guy, the look of horror and fear will be priceless!

I know what you mean I have gained about 15 pounds so far and I have heard both "Wow your already big" and "You are so tiny for having twins" Which if they mean my height yea I am 5'1 so what?! I can still have babies! lol I am not tiny I am the biggest I have ever been and I feel like I get bigger every day! so yea I wish people would just stop talking about it period. Between that and the "TWINS YIKES!" comments and looks Im about to lose it completely. : )
