WTF, SIL, no I'm not having twins.

in Success after IF

One SIL has kept asking me in the very beginning if we were having twins. After the u/s I told her nope, just one. But she kept asking and asking. And to be honest it kind of made me a bit sad bc we did transfer 2, but whatever, I'm so beyond happy with 1, but it did drag me down a bit that the other one didn't get to stick too.

So last night I text my other 2 SILs what I will be wearing for the first SILs babys baptism. They must have fwded her the text because...

..this morning DH gets a text asking again if it's twins. WTF, b!tch, I only gained about 6lbs so far. Don't make me feel bad since you only looked like you were only 7 months pregnant when you gave birth.

ERRR!!

    My mother in law does this to me too and I want to stomp on her face. To boot, yes I originally had a twin, but it didn't develop. So every time I see her she says "are you sure there isn't 2 in there" I want to cry.
    A lot of years and a million tears finally led me to you.
    After 7 years trying to concieve, 3 failed IUIs and 2 failed IVFs, my third IVF was a success!

    What a jackass...

    The next time she asks you that, you should say something to stop her in her tracks...something along the lines of "well, we would have been thrilled with twins, but we are ecstatic about our singleton as well, so maybe we could just concentrate on that".

    I love that. I really thought by now she would be off of asking but apparently not.

    How annoying! I don't understand what her issue is. Does she think you're lying or something? Because that's just ridiculous.

    If it were me I'd sit her down or have my husband sit her down and say, "Look. I don't understand why you keep asking me if I'm carrying twins. I've told you repeatedly that I'm not. I would really appreciate it if you stopped asking me." And it would take all my energy not to smack her across the face.

    WTH?!  The u/s will show very early if you're having twins - I found at 7 weeks - and, yes, you would have gained more than 6 pounds by now.  I think I'd gained about 16 pounds by the point you're at now, and I was slightly behind on my weight gain.  Here's a virtual smack from me to your SIL.

    This.

    I actually had to have this conversation with my MIL. Every freaking time we talked, she asked if it was twins. We put balloons in her garage when we found out it was a boy-2 that said, It's a Boy & 2 plain blue ones that DH wrote his name on. Once they saw their surprise, we went over there to show the u/s pics, and the first thing she asked was, "Does this mean it's 2 boys???" WTF?!?! I finally said, "MIL, it is not twins. It is one boy. We are not trying to keep anything from you. I promise. We have told you everything we know, and will continue to update you after every appointment. BUT, you have to stop asking me if it's twins. It's not." I was nice enough about it, but she got the point.
