"are you sure you're not having twins?"

Why do people say this??? What is wrong with them - I just responded "That's a really mean thing to say" - it shut her up quick! Thanks for the Ego boost!

Re: "are you sure you're not having twins?"

I got this a lot - my dad at one point said i had to be having triplets

people were convinced there was one hiding in there. it did make me feel bad

Re: "are you sure you're not having twins?"

I got that throughout my entire pregnancy... After a while I just shrugged it off.. Some people are just dumb!!!

Re: "are you sure you're not having twins?"

ugh i just got that comment over the weekend and it's not a nice thing to hear, but i just shrugged it off cuz what does he know anyway. UGH!

Re: "are you sure you're not having twins?"

Popping in from the parenting board . . .

I just had my DD 2 months ago and let me tell you, I heard this the entire time. That and a few people (including a doctor) told me I must be having a BIG baby. That "big" baby turned out to be 6 lbs 13 oz, 19.5 in. Definintely not big by my standards!

I still don't understand why people say this. I just figure they feel the need to say "something" and that's all they can come up with. It's super annoying but try not to let it get to you.

Re: "are you sure you're not having twins?"

You are awesome for saying that!

I feel so huge at 25 weeks, and hear it all the time. This is after being so small for the first 18-20 weeks and being told I was too small. People are just rude.

Re: "are you sure you're not having twins?"

People are so dumb!

Re: "are you sure you're not having twins?"

My third pregnancy and during all three people said/say
this to me. Its annoying...but both of my kids were over 10 pounds...which was more than my friend's twins put together.

Re: "are you sure you're not having twins?"

People don't think before they speak! It's really annoying!!

I was getting just the opposite and it bothered me. I am pregnant with twins and I hate the people that say "you're small for twins". I want to shut them up so bad because I'm already carrying around 11 pounds of baby!!

Re: "are you sure you're not having twins?"

My MIL's boyfriend asked my friend that the other day. I could have died! She's 7 weeks behind me and he was like "Whoa! You are huge next to her! Are you having twins?" Seriously? She's also 4 inches shorter than me so she has less room to spread the bump out on. She laughed it off but I was so appalled. As an aside, my MIL runs a high risk office - you think he would know better from her what's appropriate and what isn't! He is such an idiot.

Re: "are you sure you're not having twins?"

people are so rude. I don't get why people think that just bc you are pregnant they can say whatever they want to you?!

Re: "are you sure you're not having twins?"

It works the other way too. No one believes I am 36 weeks pregnant, they always comment on how small I am. The baby is measuring right on schedule, bigger than my first son, but people still comment.

Re: "are you sure you're not having twins?"

I have been hearing this lately too, or wow I think your going to have the baby early, it doesn't bother me though, just means I have a pregnant belly lol, I don't think people mean it as you are overweight, just pregnant.

Re: "are you sure you're not having twins?"

i got this too! when someone asked me that an i said no, she replied Triplets???

i wanted to hit her soo bad!

Ugh... my 50 something year old cousin, who I haven't seen in awhile - AND who looks like she's having TRIPLETS, asked me that the other day.

I told my mom what she said and my mom said, "Did you ask her how many she's having?"

Re: "are you sure you're not having twins?"

People think they are being funny, not realizing that it can hurt someones feelings or make them feel insecure.
My last pregnancy I only gained 12 pounds and people STILL asked me if I was having twins/triplets. I would just
