You're so big already!!!" I realize it was strangers making conversation, they didn't really care when my babies were born and weren't thinking that what they were actually saying was that I'd have preemies in the NICU, but it was totally irritating.

Yep, right there! I'm due Mar 5 and I'm beginning to look full-term. Last night I was at Dream Dinners with friends and the woman commented that I must be making meals for my baby's arrival. Everyone thinks I'm ready to pop.

And, because I'm small to begin with (5'3" 100 lbs), everyone seems to think I can't carry the twins to term. So, it upsets me greatly, much the same as you're saying. And, the bedrest comment! ARGH! I don't want to be on bedrest. There's no indication I will be. It just makes me wonder, are that many twin mommies put on bedrest that they consider it the norm?

And I feel for you attached2mason. Many of my friends have gone through IVF. But I don't have twins in my family either so I can't even say that. I just don't want them to assume IVF (because, yes, sadly there is a stigma).

I just can't stand that people can be so rude. Yes, I'm huge. Okay, got it.
