Starting to tire of the comments!

Everyone I know is bugging me like CRAZY about how I haven't given birth to the twins yet, and I'll be 38 weeks on Monday! I can't even tell you how OLD it's getting. They act as though it's impossible for me to be preggo with twins at this point, and that I'll never have these babies. It's making me feel all the more anxious!!! I'd like to just enjoy the last days/weeks I have of being preggo, but it's so hard when everyone is putting pressure on you to deliver, kwim? It feels like it's all people think about is me having these twins!!! Ughh!

Has anyone else had this that's further along in their pregnancy?

Ugh, yes, I hate it... and I'm only 35 weeks, AND my c-section's scheduled for 37.4 weeks, so I won't even be going to 38!

Every time we tell my FIL we have an appointment, he's like, "OK, bring home some babies." He's been saying it for WEEKS now. The first time I told him that he doesn't want that because they'd have to be in the NICU, but I've since given up. Seriously... I'd really like to carry them as far as I can, and I hate comments like that where people are just incessantly scrutinizing over my uterus!

 

I remember people saying, "You haven't had those babies yet?" I just got fed up and said "I've had them all along!" and they got my drift. Enjoy these last few days and those little kicks and tight belly!

 

I remember I had to stop calling friends and family - they would be soooooo disapponted I was just calling to chat and didn't have news of births. Hang in there, it really won't be too much longer.

 

:hug99: I'm sorry people are bothering you with these comments. :hug99: I was lucky I was at home by this time so I didn't have to hear to much from anyone. You know you are doing a great job and they need to cook, so just ignore the rest.

 

Congrats on making it so far. Unfortunately, this is only the beginning of the crazy comments!!

 

I had this problem with my last singleton pregnancy. Literally everyday people would call and ask "nothing yet?", "no baby yet?". My MIL keeps saying to me already that she hopes I have the babies when she is here in Sept. I am only 28 weeks today so at the best that would make me anywhere from 32-35 weeks :blink: Her first grandson was bron prematurely and he is fine now so I think that is the only association she makes!! She is even bringing all of his old preemie clothes and has bought a couple outfits herself. My DH and I just try to ignore her and have given up explaining things anymore. Hang in there, it won't be long now!!

 

Ugh! If only we could just hide, or hit the mute button when we see certain people. My Stepmom asks EVERY TIME she sees me "Are you still pregnant?" Yesterday when she asked me, I said "Well, I'm only 16 weeks so, it would be kind of devastating if I wasn't." It makes me wanna say something rude to people when they say things like that. I've seen some maternity shirts on CafePress that are really cute about people and their comments. One says, "I may be huge, but at least I don't say stupid things to pregnant women."

 

I get sick of the assumption that "Twins always come early," and "Twins are always smaller!" I just smile, nod, and try to ignore it all.

 

Yes yes I know what you mean! I made my 5th trip to labor and delivery yesterday! Couldn't feel the babies moving much and as soon as I got to the hospital they started moving. Stubborn and pig headed like their big sister already! Then today I thought my water was leaking so I took the dogs to the kennel, daughter to grandma and grandpas and went to the hospital and no I have a yeast infection. I feel like I should play circus music everywhere I go and sell tickets so everyone can see the freak show walk by! LOL! My doctor is suppose to take out my cerclage on Tuesday and we haven't even talked about a induction date at all! Which is annoying in itself already!!!!!!

 

LOL! Sounds like you guys know what I'm talking about. I should've bought that t-shirt, too funny!

People will say "Isn't it unusual that you're still pregnant?" I know of many women that went past 39 weeks...many are here on this board!

 

Congratulations on cookin' em for SO LONG!!! :hug99: :banana: It's going to happen when they are ready and you don't want them out before they are ready, so you are doing SUPER!!! SUPERSTAR TWIN PREGNANCY!!! WOOOOO HOOOOOO!!!!! GO GIRL!!!

 

Aww, thanks everyone.

It's been a great pregnancy, I've really enjoyed most of it. It's my last, so I'll be sad when I don't feel those precious kicks and hiccups anymore.

 

I'm 21 weeks in this pregnancy (mono/di twin boys) but I can relate from my last pregnancy....which wasn't TOO long ago...DD#2 is almost 9months. My first came exactly 40 weeks on her EDD and my second came exactly at 42 weeks! Of course no one expected that since most of the time your second will come sooner than your first....those last two weeks were horrible...the calls, emails, comments and of course our anticipation. In the end it was a blessing to have her the way I wanted..unmedicated without induction but I'm feeling relieved to know that the twins will NOT come at 42 weeks.

Praying for the last few days to go smoothly for you....easy labor & delivery vibes to you!

 

I'm happy for you that you've made it to 38 weeks! You'll have big healthy babies! I understand about the comments. I'm tired of hearing "I'm sorry" when I tell people (with a smile I might add) that we're having twins.

:rotflmbo:

 

I was right there with you a month ago! The day before my due date I was so sick of it all, and told dh I didn't want to see or talk to anyone--so when we went into the chiropractor he warned everyone not to make ANY comments. Everyone just looked at me in awed silence. One of the patients still asked, and I snarled at her. But the babies came two days later. Hang in there!

 

I made it to 38 + 3 and even the Dr was like.. I can not believe you are still pregnant.. I would just cry.. I didnt want to be pregnant anymore.. It HURTS!! Hang in there!! You are so close and those are going to be healthy babies!! Way to cook them!!

 

You are really,really lucky! I hope things go as well for me (I'm only 13 weeks gone)-I think you should be so proud of yourself, your babies and your body.

People are stoopid. Yes, I spelled that right. Stoopid. Lol...Good on you!

 

I'm sorry that everyone keeps commenting. That happened with my son when I was almost 42 weeks. I would call the hospital everyday crying because I wanted it to be over and ended up drinking castor oil and inducing myself.

I think its wonderful that you keep them in this long and I actually hope that I can do the same, I can only imagine how uncomfortable you are, but hang in there you are doing a great job!!

 

Thanks so much ladies!

I can't believe how well they are staying put. My singleton came at about this time when my water broke! I'm still going strong, no babies yet...but I imagine the doc will discuss inducing me at today's appointment. I don't think baby b is head down, so it looks like a c-section for me. Ughh!

 

I got "Oh my god, you are HUGE!" all the time. It used to make me so mad, like I don't know I'm huge, I don't need you to tell me. How rude is that!!

 

Mine wouldn't get out on their own so I was induced at 38+6. They still resisted and were forcibly evicted at 39 exactly. SO, BTDT. And while the comments were annoying as heck (especially considering that I was hot and tired and oh-so-swollen) I will always be able to brag that I lugged around twins for 39 weeks. Oh, and they were born healthy and alert and champion nursers :good:

 

i actually got the opposite from my IL's my doc decided to induce me at 37 weeks and my IL's were like, "NO! you should let nature take it's course! it's too soon! ... " i think i will listen to my doctor's suggestions first, thanks.

 

I understand! I had really had it, I delivered at 40weeks after an induction. Actually according to my calculations I was *only* 39w3d, but my doctor had it as my 40w due date. I was so uncomfortable at the end, it was horrible, but I"m glad it worked out the way it did. The babies were almost 7 lbs each (6,12, and 6,14) and they were great nursers (still are at 27 months!)

Hope your Baby B turns. My Baby B was breech also, she was delivered by breech extraction. It actually was really easy, Baby A took a while, but finally came out.
