I always wanted to reply to the “you must be close / you look ready to burst” with “yes, and when are you due?” figured it would work equally well for large women or men… never quite brave enough to try it though!

I get the exact opposite. My husband and I have the problem of being extremely fertile. We have a 3 year old, a 2 year old (15 months apart) and I’m due with twins any day now. Most people comment on how close together they are and, “did you plan to have them so close?” And, “oh, wow, you are going to be one busy mom!” Etc.

I’m about to have twins and those are questions I often get when people find out.

And asking if they are IVF or real? What are IVF babies not REAL babies?

I agree, it didn’t matter if we had picked the names or not, we do NOT tell the baby’s name until after they are born. We tell everyone the sex though. I have family who want’s to buy things for the babies and I prefer clothing and accessories to match the gender.

This time around whenever people ask us if we have picked out names, I just answer that we haven’t decided on names yet. Then I get the annoying comment, “Well, you need to decide soon, these babies aren’t going to wait until you pick out names for them.” (Or some similar comment.)

So funny. For my 3rd pregnancy, I went to the Dr. when I was 11 weeks 1 day along, I told him how far along I was and that I know it sounds crazy, but I felt the baby move 3 days ago. He then looked at me and said, “Let’s do an ultrasound to make sure you are as far along as you think you are.”

I said, “Ok, but I know how far along I am, and I was right about my first 2 children’s due dates.” I figured, at least I could see the baby.

Once we saw the screen, I couldn’t believe it. It was twins! I knew how far along I was, but that was a total surprise.

I get all of those comments and questions too. I have a 3 year old, a 2 year old and I’m about to have twins in a couple of weeks.

I LOVE your comment about your husband not figuring it out yet! I think I’ll have to start using that one!

That one was the worst! Someone asked me (5 days after my daughter was born) when I was due.

After having my first child, my 5 day old baby was in the nursery at church and someone asked when the baby was due. I just looked at her and said that she was born 5 days ago. It was a little embarrassing for both of us. What else would I have said though, they were going to announce it in the service in a few minutes.

My husband likes to waddle in front of my like a penguin when we are out in public. I don’t worry about it, it just makes him look like a jerk for making fun of his pregnant wife.
