Same. Everyone either assumes I'm due any day when I still have months to go, or that I've got a few extra babies in there. I get so many comments.

PSA-This goes on the list of things you should never make comments on!
It's so uncomfortable for the receiving end

We didn't tell anyone. I actually didn't look like I was pregnant with twins so no one guessed and everyone had a huge shock!!! It was fun surprising everyone!

I always wonder about this. My twins are teens now. And we didn't tell anyone either.
regarding telling parents during pregnancy, would they have the same surprise only earlier? or is the surprise bigger and more grand if it's after babies are born?

I was never pregnant with multiples.

But I think you can tell people that you are 4/5 weeks ahead, they won't realize how big you are.

So right now, when someone asks how far along you are, say 20 or 21 weeks.

Bshaah tovah!!!

What's the point of that?

We told who we needed to tell. So that meant parents, we each told one friend so we had someone to talk to.
We told siblings and grandparents at the end bc logistically we had to tell one grandparent and one sibling and we felt we should make it fair and tell all once telling one.
I wouldn’t lie about how far along I am, but telling people you are due earlier than you are isn’t a lie if you know you are having them early.

Just say you're a month ahead. Full term twins are 38 weeks anyways.

I think people being referred to as a whale when prgnant is probably where a lot of the insecurity comes from... I would feel really bad if people said that about how I looked

You’re right, that really wasn’t nice. But her twins were about 18 lbs altogether…. She was bigger than a standard twin pregnant mom looks like Smile
