Got my first "so, any day now, huh?" comment :)

You should have seen the look on his face when I said "no, I still have 3 1/2 months to go" :)  

Now, the registry lady at babies r us on the other hand.....  She said "Wow, your due date is July 1st, you're huge".  Thanks.  I appreciate that.  You work with pregnant girls all day long and thats the best you can come up with.  geez.

  • People are a-holes.  I am sorry.  :(

    After 2 rounds of IVF & 2 rounds of FET, we were blessed with identical twin girls!

  • Well, right now it doesn't bother me that much.  I can laugh it off.  But seriously, I would think the Babies R Us employee would have a little more tact!

  • people suck.. i was just buying stuff and the cashier said "wow twins? kiss you life goodbye".
  • Yes, they should all have to undergo "sensitivity training for pregnant women".  Included in the training: 1. Never comment about how huge a pg woman is, even if she is the size of a beached whale.  2.  Never say things like "enjoy your sleep/life/etc now, because life as you know it will end. 3.  Never say "it only gets worse".

  • People are stupid.   I get the when i go to the peri's office, all the other peopel star at me (my belly is measuring 40 for 1 baby) But i love when they ask me "what number baby is this?" And my responce is "number 2, 3 and 4"  It's really fun to watch their faces as they slowly process the information. :) the comes the shocked face:)

  • As far as expecting tact from professionals, one of the nurses at my OB's office said, "I don't envy you," with a really ugly look on her face within minutes of us finding out we had twins on the way and were still attempting to wrap our heads around it.  Nice.
  • I haven't gotten any 'rude' comments - I think its hilarious when people gape at me when I tell them how much further I've got. Or try not to gape and be rude - you almost see people wanting to say something but fighting to hold it back.

  • YOu would think people who work at baby stores would know better.  I have not gotten any rude comments, but I am on bed rest and the cats can't talk lol.  I did go see my sister on friday (she is a nurse at the hospital where my MFM's office is) and she introduced me to another nurse who just found out she was pregnant and she said "You look great".  That should be the only comment out of people's mouths.

  • I would get upset at the beginning of my pg when people would comment about how small I was for having twins. I'd be so worried that I wouldn't be able to grow these kids big enough. I practically burst into tears when the FedEx guy said something like, "wow, you sure are small for two babies."

    I don't care if someone says I'm huge, bc I am. Who am I kidding, I'm housing two people. Whenever someone says something about how big I'm getting, I usually say something like, "yah, I'm growing exponentially and I still have a long way to go." It's just not worth my serenity to get pissed off bc someone "needs" to make a comment. At this point, I've come to expect a lame comment at least once a day and getting bent about it doesn't change the fact that, generally, people are stupid and will inevitable remove all doubt by opening their mouths.

     

  • People are so rude.  I'm learning that with my twin pregnancy.  And what really gets me, is it's usually women commenting who have never had multiples.  As if they have any clue what a woman carrying more than one baby feels...Confused

    Filter.  they all need a filter on their thoughts/mouths.  I'm sure you look adorable.

  • I have yet to receive any comments yet, but I sure do get looked at. I was asked by a FedEx guy that happened to see me walk out of my OB's office and he asked if this is my first time. When I told him this was five and six, he is WOW uh, good luck? And that was when my stomach was still flat! We all look great, no matter how big or small we are! I see we have to same due date, but I'm having girls. Good luck!!!!!!!!!
  • I was standing in line getting dinner tonight, and the lady ringing me up asked, "so how many months?"  I was like, "huh?"  I honestly had no idea what she was talking about until she pointed to my stomach.  "Oh, about 4.... with twins." 

    She was really nice about it, but I guess I'm starting to show much more than I thought.  I'd like to blame my shirt and tired pose, but uh, probably not.  Smile  Can't wait until I really get big.

    I got this exact comment from a nurse at my OB's office after we found out it was twins. She said "better you than me"
