OK ladies it has started.
I 'publically' announced the pregnancy yesterday and we are getting 'the comments'. You know the ones. I knew we'd get them but not as often as we are!

I have read your come-backs before and you had me in stitches so I was hoping you girls can remind of the humorous side so I don't actually slap anybody!

So here are the top comments that are already driving me batty.

Wow Twins! You don't do things by halves.

An instant family.

Ooh I bet you are hoping for a boy and a girl.

Do twins run in the family?

You are going to be busy.

Now at the moment I just reply 'if you are going to do a job, you might as well do it properly'. I am however getting annoyed at being told that we should only ever be having the 2 babies, that boy/girl twins are the ultimate prize and anything less would be disappointing, I don't want to tell the ENTIRE world they are IVF babies and ummmmm, I kind of know that we will be busy. Some positive comments would be nice.

I am still in a dream world of rubbing my belly and thinking there are two little ones and feeling sooooooooo happy inside so I am sure these dumb comments will stop peeing me off soon!

Cat & Nath
Finally BFP on ICSI attempt#1. TWINS due end December.

OHHH I remember those comments well.

For us, we didn't have IVF, but it took about 18ths & 1 miscarriage to even be PG! Then when we found out we were having twins, we thought it was the BEST thing ever.

For us, we didn't get that many stupid comments when I was PG. It started straight after the birth though.

I agree that people think that boy/ girl twins are the ultimate prize!

If people ask if there is twins in the family, just say & say "but they have to start somewhere"!

Keep enjoying your PG & your little miracles.

Belinda

Oh Cat
Hope everything is going Ok now

You never can have enough come backs that just keep throwing them at you!!!!!!
And it doesn't stop once the pregnancy is over they just get worse..
Imagine what I get when I am out in public with my 5 under 5 At one stage if one more person said "oh you must be busy" I was going to scream but now I just answer their questions agree with them have a little laugh with them and move along!!!! LOL The joys of twins



Wems
Can't wait to PARTY!!!!!!!
Leaving the 5 kids with DH
GiRL'S WEEKEND AWAY ***PARTY***[br]

Ahh the comments!! *LOL* your response's will become sharper and much more sarcastic the bigger you get and the more tired you become..I am not sure what was worse being pregnant and coping the questions or now with the comments and the heads in the pram??? Hmmm :quest:
I think the most important thing is to remember that you don't have to explain yourselves to anyone and dont feel bad to ask if they think that their questions are a bit rude/personal. It doesnt matter how you got to be the lucky mum expecting 2 babies, just that you have them and thats all people need to know.
We used to ask people if they wanted a lesson on conception? That usually gets them blushing....
The basics are often the easiest to remember on the spot - Double the love, double the hugs, they have a friend for life, 2 children one pregnancy, Always have a playmate etc
Dh's are the best - they think that making funny comments will make everyone laugh for eg..
~Just call me supersperm
~It was a great investment just didnt think we would get double the returns at once
~I have a double barrel (LOL)
~I think we did it twice that day......so on and so on
We didnt know what we were having either so people would ask and we would just say two babies to love, twin suprises, double lotto, and your guesses are as good as ours....
Ahh the million dollar question - are twins in your family, I say 'yes' and they are going to be our family now....(My g/mother and g/father were both twins)
Just be yourself and smile - you are blessed Cat and that is what poeple cant see behind the whole issue of double the nappied etc....Only multiple parents understand. We are glad we were chosen for this remarkable job!
2 car seats, 2 cots, double prams, 2x nappies tell them its lucky you have 2 hands and also 2 boobs!!! LMAO Keep smiling and have fun!
I was going to make a sign for the pram that introduces both Hayden and Brooklen, their birth weights, their length, their DOB and that they are NOT identical!!!!!! LOL, havent had time to make it yet LOL ;p
I am little biased on the b/g issue! Thats what we were blessed with and we couldnt be happier...

Hello everyone

I laughed out loud when i read posting. I'm pregnant with no 5/6. Making 6 under 9. Strangers feel the need to chase my down in shopping centres to see if they are all mine. And worse still if they have the same father (one daughter blessed with dark hair,pail skin the other blonde, blue eyes, and the youngest one ringlet curls). I find I make outrageous statements just to amuse myself. IE; Recently ran into a very painful kinder mum who greated me in the middle of an extremely busy coles with, DONT TELL ME YOUR PREGNANT AGAIN HAVE YOU NOT WORKED OUT WHATS CAUSING IT YET. My repley was simple. No I've just gained a little weight lately, now if you'll excuse me i really have to go. Left her feeling horrible that she'd offended me. Maybe she'll think twice next time. Keep your chin up and remember how special having children is. I walk tall and very proud of my children. At any given opportunity I tell those complete strangers who judge me how lucky I am to have such a wonderful family.
Good luck and enjoy every minute of your family
Stacey (mother of soon to be 6)

Hi there catnat,
I am almost 36w PG with ID twins. And what I find really annoying now - every shop assistant or waitress or some other strangers think they have to comment
"Uuuuu, I bet you can't wait to get rid of that belly" or "Wow, looks like that baby has not long to go"... And this started weeks (or even couple of months??) ago!!(mind you, I was a bit paranoid about premature labour. And I am really enjoying my pregnancy - quite happy to carry my belly a bit longer...)
So, now when they ask me "When are you due??" (why no one thinks it might me a bit personal? the same as asking, "when did you concieve"...) I reply "Not yet", because otherwise it starts "Oh your are so big... twins??...... any twins in your family?....." and so on - you know the rest...
One lady recently on a bus looks on my belly and like she's a big expert declares "it's a boy!!". I bit that with "No, it's two girls";p.
Enjoy your pregnancy and never mind what they say.

Cat, just try putting your head a little to one side, giving a blank stare, and saying "Huh?" ... then they try explaining themselves and eventually realise themselves what a strange thing they have said.

Haylie

My DH DID make signs for our pram!!!!! Yep he did! With all the details, birth weights, ID's, breastfed, nappies etc, etc....

Belinda

When it all got too much I'd just say "what a strange thing to say" or "what an unusual question, why would you ask that?" - usually threw people off enough for me to move on or change the topic.

On the plus side, once your twins are toddlers, you don't get as many questions or comments - maybe double tantrums aren't so cute???

My DH and I were going to get T shirts printed with answers to all the questions...and a picture on the back of me feeding both of them together!!!!!!!!!

YES! They are twins.
NO! They aren't identical
YES! They are breastfed. (ref pic)
YES! We are very busy most of the time!
NO! They aren't double trouble!
YES! We are very very lucky!

...some days are diamondsi

BusyB - signs for your pram, ROFL!!! That's great, my DH will absolutely love that idea

We have been getting all the same stupid questions. The most common is "who's responsible for the twins?" and/or "what side of the family are they from?" (interestingly, no one assumes that they're IVF). I recently found out there are some twins in my dads family, so I say they're from my side. I'd say that anyway because I don't see that it's strangers business whether we had fertility treatment or not


Me 33, DH 37
IVF w/ICSI#1 March 05 - Twins!

Here's a small pic of the laminated cards we had!



This what they said

Card 1.

Yes, we are identical GIRLS. Our names are Kateleigh Rose & Danika Chevonne.

How do you tell us apart?...They take a guess before checking the nail polish on Kateleigh's toenail.

We were born at 30 weeks on the 7th Oct 2002, weighing just less then 3 pounds; our due date was Dec 14th.

We came home at our 37th week weighing 5 pounds. (23rd Nov 02). We were in hospital for 7 weeks.

Does Mum breastfeed?...YES, and we try to feed at the same time.

Card 2.

Are we sleeping through the night?...Well we generally only have one or two feeds during the night (which can take 1 & half hours).

Are we using disposable or cloth nappies?.. Disposable for the night, cloth nappies the rest of the time.

Are Mum & Dad tired?.. What do you think???Are you offering to help at 3am, no only joking!!!
Dad said, "No we're not only joking".

Yes, Mum & Dad love us heaps & heaps & they still believe that we are a gift from God & are little miracles.

There you have it! We put a pic on them too, so people didn't feel the need to touch or wake them! Plus if they claimed they could tell them apart I'd give them the pic & ask "so who's who then?"

Sorry to hijack this thread.

Belinda

thanks for that!

I have another annoyance to add to the list 'you will have to go straight to formula now. No point even trying breastfeeding'. Ah, that is right, twins don't get the nutrients and goodness from breastfeeding that singletons would?

I do love the idea of a sign.

I think it won't be long and I could make one for the tummy (as I already have a little bulge at 11 weeks)
It may go something like this.

Yes I am large, there is 2 in there. Yes we are very happy and we know that we will very busy and life will never be the same. I mean how could it be with 2 beautiful little bundles to cuddle and love. Not that it is any of your business but yes there are other twins in the family. Before you ask about their conception please tell me about the day you made your children and I may share mine. I truly do not care whether they are boys, girls or a mix. I am getting 2 babies- why would I care? So no I am not hoping for something in particular, just healthy chubby babies.

Catnat, I love the idea!!! You should do it. Might make people think how rude they can be.

I too had endless comments of "you can't possibly have enough milk for 2" & "double trouble" & DH were just so thrilled to have 2 alive & healhty little girls. Keep enjoying every moment of your twin PG & forget all the stupid comments

Belinda

Cat ~ Glad this has helped, just like the others said feel very, very proud that you are a blessed Mum to be and very special! Enjoy this time and be ready for the questions to keep coming....

Belinda - you crack me up! I should find the time to make some of those!! Thanks for sharing them. Today whilst out for lunch with the girls there was a 'new' couple that come in with some very small twins b/g and I had never seen them before, so i quickly ducked over to congratulate them and they were so happy that I did, they were visiting Kalgoorlie from Darwin and were so happy, they had been bombarded with the same issues as we all get and their babies were older than Hayden and Brooklen but so tiny still - born only 1200 grams! Amazing and such beautiful babies. I told them they didnt have to go into it all and I wouldnt interupt their lunch just to say how wonderful and lucky they are! twin parents just know what its like! They were so overwhelmed by Hayden and Brooklen and how big they are already! It was a very positive 5 minute Chat! I wasnt going to approach them but I am glad I did.....
I am going to make a sign for both prams LOL!!

Hi Cat,

I'm glad everything is going well for you! The comments can be annoying can't they? I do find that how I take the comments can depend on my mood or how they're delivered - IYKWIM? But, just wait until strangers are reaching into the pram and touching them! :mad:

I have THE BEST dumb comment I've ever had (it's of no help, but you might find it amusing). I was at the Dr's one day (on my own) and was chatting to a woman holding her 10 month old son. We all had appointments, and I didn't realise until after a few minutes that she wanted to push in front of me. Anyway, I got talking about my girls and she said, "oh, so they must be siamese twins" :confuse: (she was probably refering to my ethnicity). No, I didn't bother to correct her as she said a few other things (not twin related) that were "unenlightened".

Belinda - If your DH made more generic signs, he could sell them and make a mint!

Ana.

Just got to love those sign ideas............

The one I hate the most is "do twins run in the family"..........I just love the people who come straight out and say "are they IVF?", which I am actually surprised as to how many do :quest:

Also those that go on to tell you that their sisters friends aunt had twins...........next I always think they are going to ask me if I know them!!!!!

The thing that worries me is that they always look in and go "oh boy and girl" and that it's always Oscar that they think is a girl

ROFL at least twice after reading this I agree it can be really frustrating, people started telling me I 'must be about to drop' around 28weeks, then about 33 weeks they started asking if it was twins - where do people get off asking such personal questions like IVF, twins in family - I just wouldn't do that. Then when they are born all those people try to touch them in the pram - I wouldn't do that either. But on a positive note I have met some really lovely people and I love to show off my twins cause I think they are great LOL. But it does take forever to walk though a shopping centre and you end up hearing about everyone's great aunt's twin cousins I just think it's all part of being so blessed - I am getting really good at saying 'double the happiness'. The one comment that has the power to really annoy me is 'Double Trouble' people just don't think before they say this. Anyway I just might steal the sign idea - my df would love that.

Oh and I really wanted same sex twins (thought that they would be closer for some reason ), if I was pressed to admit a preference, and having boy/girl twins has been wonderful.

Enjoy your multiples girls

Ge I must work through the shopping centre with the worst look on my face as people don't come up and try and touch the girls. People stop and talk to me sometimes but not that often.

I was warned about this before they were born so maybe subconciously I am giving off 'don't come near me vibes'.

Although the other day someone asked what was the age difference. What the?? Ok so their not identical but they are close enough in size that you would have to think they were twins. They were a bit shocked when Dh replied 2 minutes.

Take care,

This thread has given me lots of laughs. We're 13 weeks, but already we've run the gauntlet of Double Trouble/You'll be busy/Instant family/Are there twins in your family etc etc etc ad infinitum. Most of the time I don't mind too much (even though it's none of their business) but sometimes I get cross. How do THEY know whether we only want 2 children or not?

The annoying thing is that our twins are identical, but there ARE twins in the family (my mum's sisters are fraternal twins). So I end up giving a biology lesson- "Yes, my mum's sisters are twins, but ours are identical, so it has nothing to do with family history..." (I'll usually get blank stares at this point. I'm sure they don't believe me).

I think from now on I'll just say "Yes".

This post is so funny - maybe we should start a 'dumb comments and witty retorts' sticky!! I had one of those horrible shopping trips yesterday where EVERYONE just had to have their say. Even the cleaning lady in the food court stopped me and said 'you'll have to try for 2 boys next time'. What the?

Hi guys
Congratulations to you all I say!

While I'm not a multiple Mum, I got the comments but in reverse if you like.

I always popped out VERY early and got very big very quick. Until my first ultrasounds everyone had ME convinced I was having twins (for DS1 and then DS2). To the point where I started buying two of each purchase a couple of times! LOL!
And the same comments - double trouble etc etc - which is a mean thing to say and such an assumption - a singleton pregnancy isn't met with 'ooh here comes trouble~!
Other comments were met with 'well, if there's two babies I have two breasts so that's a start!'
And all these comments before they even KNEW whether there was twins or not!

Then, AFTER the u/s when people would still ask and I'd say no, there's one baby in there, people would say ooh I bet you're relieved - actually, no, I would have LOVED to have been carrying two little people!!!

After we had DD and DS1 it was the 'ooh pigeon pair you won't need to have any more then!'... hmmm wt?

I think most of the time it's just people wanting to 'share' in a little bit of that magic of being pregnant, whether one or two or three or more babies... but sometimes I guess people don't get they might be the hundredth person to ask that q -

EDITED re below q's to say q's on when are you due, is this your first etc I didn't mind at all - in fact most q's I didn't mind and would answer, just sometimes q's are a bit strange in the sense that the person doesn't really know you well enough to ask those?... and maybe more about 'assuming' things about you/pregnancy - ie oh you have a boy you must be hoping this ones a girl or ooh you have a pigeon pair so you won't want any more etc or the double trouble one... when it's a bit strange for them to assume things about someone they don't know...?

All the best to you all!

Ok im confused,what is so wrong in asking "are there twins in the family"? I had no idea that was a very ersonal thing to say.
I understand that asking about IVF would be dam rude and personal but the rest.....
Im sorry but i am one of those people who will ooh and ahhh when i see a pregnant woman,I never say things like "gee you are big" or gosh looks like you are going to pop" but i do say stuff like when are you due,Are you excited,is it your first,what are you wanting......./
And i say these things because i honest to god get excited when i see pregnant woman,I love looking at babys ,but wont touch them,I love talking to toddlers but same i wont touch them.

Thank god I live in south africa so we wont bump into eachother while you are pg,cause i would irritate the crap out of you.

Oh and i also say things like ,Gee you are lucky to have twins ,you are going to be a busy mom buts its so worth it,and it gets easier every day.(speaking from experiance of having had jade)

Oh well I suppose i never thought it bugged people,but atleast now i know and will stay clear away from babys and prgnant woman.

Hi Melissa

As a mum of MULTIPLES, it's really only other multiple mum's that understand some of the things that happen being a parent of twins or more. One of those things happens to be stupid & rude comments, almost EVERY single time you go in public (sometimes not even in a public place).

I'll never forget out first outing with our twins. We were SWAMPED! I mean we couldn't even walk one meter without people stopping us. People we didn't know, & people letting their children touch our new babies. I got very ANNOYED at people continually assuming things & asking very personal questions (like it would have been nice to have a boy/ girl, & did you have IVF). You don’t normally ask people how their singletons were conceived, yet people feel the need to ask & let you know what they think when it comes to twins & more.

After answering the same questions over & over & over, it does get annoying! When the babies are small (& that's when you get stopped the most), you are usually out somewhere for a REASON (usually to buy FOOD) & people just have NO IDEA that you have a time frame & just want to get your shopping done .

Maybe if there were more people that actually had constructive comments & POSATIVE comments, we might not mind so much . Hearing that your babies/ child are double trouble & that they feel sorry for you isn't the nicest thing a mum can hear (this happens ALL THE TIME). Also many of us, didn't ask to have twins or more & we feel soooo blessed to have them.

Don't get offended at our posts, after all this is a Multiple’s forum & it's really only other multiple mum's that truly understand & that's why we come here to vent & support each other.

Belinda

Hi Nicole

I think most of us don't mind being asked when we are due. We just know what the next comments will be heading our way when we tell them. "OH you're Very big” or the opposite, "you don't look big enough to be having twins, are you sure there is 2". I got the latter comment a lot.

It's just very annoying having to explain to people a lot about twins & more. Most of the time it's people we don't know, & then people 1. Question what you have told them or 2. Make a negative comment.

I had someone say, "oh double trouble" (the notorious twin comment) & I said "oh no they are not trouble at all". The woman then said in a very smart manner "Wait till they are teenagers".

It's lovely when people say something nice like "oh they are adorable" etc, but unfortunately from my experience this doesn't happen enough. People ask all sorts of questions, ranging from conception, Pg, BIRTH, the nappies you use, the way you feed, the list goes on. It's like once you have twins or more you become public property.

Lucky for me, I didn't get lots of people tell me how I should care for my babies, like a lot of other first time mum's might get. I did however get many comments regarding breastfeeding & that I could not possibly have enough milk for 2 babies.

Like I said before, it's multiple mum's that really understand & why these threads make us feel normal

Belinda

Sorry ,you are right.
I havnt a clue what its like.
Im just glad that I came across this thread so I know next time to be more considerate towards mums with multiples.
I feel so silly now as i was at a braai last week and there was a lady there who had had twins naturally 15 years back,and i totaly bombarded her with questions,she was very polite and answered them all,gosh i hope she didnt think i was intruding.
Its just that i found it so facinating and plus the fact that she was told by docters her whole life that she wasnt able to have kids and bam she is in her 40 feels sick goes to the docter and what do you know.....pg with lovely twins.
Anyway ,thats for enlightning me.

Mel

2 other questions I seemed to be asked a lot after I'd had the girls was whether I'd had a c-section and how I was feeding them. I've asked some of my friends who are mums of singletons and they confirmed that people didn't usually ask them these things.

My favourite thing was that for some reason lots of men asked if I'd had a c-section. I'd answer "no, I had them vaginally" in a loud voice - that seemd to put an end to their questions. For some reason a woman saying "vaginally" to them was not what they expected LOL.

Then people would ask me "are you feeding them?" What the? I know they meant "breastfeeding" but I'd just play dumb and say "oh, yes, you have to until they leave home" - oh sometimes the dumb questions are annoying but if you're ready with an answer it can be fun!!!

I think I've posted before about people yelling "twins" when they see you out with 2 babies. Do they name everything they see? "Truck!", "Shop"??? On a particularly bad day when about 20 people had said the same thing I admit I responded to the 21st person to yell "twins" with "no sh*t, sherlock". Oh, well, made me feel better...

If you see a parent with multiples and you want to say something, how about "what beautiful babies - you must be so proud"??? Or even better, "can I hold that door open for you?". It's not that we're unfriendly, we just don't want our kids to be a travelling freak show. I can't believe how we get zero attention when I go out with just one of the girls - I'm so used to the looks, comments and questions, I feel like maybe we're invisible - must be nice...

Won't bore you all with any more of the day to day comments we all know and love (NOT), but thought I'd add my all time worst comment from when I was ~30 or so weeks pregnant...get ready, its awful...

"Oh you're having twins. Gee I hope everything goes alright for you. You know that its really common for only one twin to survive don't you?"

I was so shocked I didn't know what to say. :gasp: Unfortunately it came from a friend of a friend who was fairly plastered at the time. Even so, what an insensitive cow! Needless to say, we have told our friend never to invite us to anything this woman will be at again. Luckily she's now moved overseas, so we're not likely to run into her again anytime soon. :|

Geesh! Some people are just right idjiots aint they? They just don't think.

On Friday night DH's grandmother told us that if one or both of the babies are girls then she doesn't want to know about them! How stupid. I think she thought she was being funny but DH was NOT impressed! Now I'm hoping they're girls just to p**s her off! LOL

i'm going to stick a sign on the pram saying "don't touch, we bite".

mostly i am enjoying the novelty of telling people it's our first AND second - but the STOOPID questions are starting to get me.

"Did you conceive naturally?" from total strangers is my favourite. I feel like saying "mm, and you?"

the breastfeeding thing sh**s me to tears too - I always tell them about the lady here who breast fed her triplets to two - what an inspiration!

I get the most fed up though with everyone who acts as though having twins will be a curse - i cannot WAIT!! i think it's such a blessing - we were glad enough to find out we were pregnant, but then to find it's twins - over the moon!

Ditto to everything Kate said.

My excitement is growing each day. TWO little ones! Ah I can't help but smile when I think about it. Maybe I truly am nuts but I get excited looking at my little nappies, jumpsuits and bibs.

Cat - Every day through my pregnancy I would wake up and say to Phil "can you believe it? We are having 2 babies" On the day of the c-section he woke first and said - Lovie wake up today you are HAVING 2 babies!! I still pinch myself, its so nice (better than winning lotto!)

I must say one thing that annoys me when i go out is the way people want to touch the boys and just go on and on about how cute they are (which i of course agree with).. but i find it rude when i am with my sister and her boy (23 months) and daughter (4 months) becuase they don't even look at them but won't leave my two alone. It is not fair and is annoying. It is like they are invisible. I get so sick of the you must be busy, when do you sleep, etc questions. I don't think it is that difficult having two, yes i am busy but i love it!


Rach(26),BJ(35), Aidan & Keenan

I just had to respond to this thread when I read the last few posts.

I am always getting people who barely know me asking how my triplets were conceived........"Its none of their damn business."

Was it IVF???
Did you use fertility drugs???
What, nothing, completely natural???
Are you sure???
Are their triplets in you family???

I am almost temped to say to them - If I wanted to tell you how we conceived them then I would have told you by now, so take a hint & leave me alone.

Oh & the breastfeeding thing:

ARe you going to breastfeed or bottle feed????? Me: Im not sure, maybe breast

How can you breastfeed 3 babies when you only have 2 breasts????? Me: Tthere are ways

But how - You wont be able to give them enough???? Me: Demand = supply

& it just keeps going & going & going :mad:

LOL to the triplet comment. I've been asked even by the nurse in the emergancy dept if i was on fertility drugs when i told her that i'm having twins. I frowned at her as said no. I'm a twin. I have been coping that same comment over and over by people. I know what you are talking about Rach with people touching your baby/babies. My youngest daughter was quite small when she was born and i had people swarm around me when i went to the shop trying to touch her and ask for cuddles. Then as she got older her hair began to curl so she copped it again people wanting to touch her hair it bugged me to all ends. I'm dreading what it will be like with twins. I also cop the comments of don't you have a tv as well ect as i have a large family, but thats a different subjects again.
