annoyed with singleton pregnant moms?

Question

This is my first pregnancy. I was blessed with di/di girls and they'll be earth side very soon! Is it wrong of me to be annoyed with my friends who are pregnant with one baby? They complain all the time about how little sleep they get, how nauseated they are, how big they are, and how much their backs hurt. I get pregnancy in general is hard, exhausting work.. but I'm carrying double what they are and I'm doing my best not to complain about it. Not to mention I have Cholestasis so I'm constantly itching (which is miserable). I just listen to their complaints and hope I don't do a big "eye roll" after hearing them. Do any other twin mamas have this problem or am I just being over sensitive?

P.S. If you have triplets, quads, etc.: 
I commend you! You're amazing and I am in awe of you! (You must be sick of complaining singleton AND twin moms!)

Answer

I can't stand women who complain during pregnancy - no matter how many they are carrying.   I'm blessed with a twin pregnancy now, but I battled infertility for 8 years.  Women who can get pregnant naturally, should all STFU with their complaints and smile and thank God they didn't have to suffer through infertility.  Period.

Answer

Having had a single pregnancy and now a twin pregnancy I can say they each came with their own struggles. Also some of my worse symptoms now are easier than other single pregnancies I've heard of. I totally get being a bit annoyed but the reality is pregnancy sucks whether it's one or five babies.

Answer

Yes!! I'm 34 weeks with boys weighing about 5 lbs each and it does annoy me when my friends who are still early on their second trimester complain about back pain or having to pee a lot or not being able to sleep. I know it's hard for them too, but I try so hard to be optimistic and not complain too much. But when someone who is 15 weeks complains about lower back pain constantly, I'm just like no sympathy here 😑

Answer

I defiantly get annoyed...it mostly annoys me tho all these women posting on social media every time they have a pain or a bit of heartburn, I personally don't post anything on social media other than when we found out it was twins and that they where both boys! I think that is enough considering there are so many couples about that can't or a re struggling to convince, it must be really annoying hearing people who are blessed with babies moaning!

Answer

Haha! Yes! I do get rather annoyed. I had a singleton pregnancy too (she's almost 3 now), and that pregnancy was a walk in the park compared to this twin pregnancy. I'm only 19 weeks but feel as uncomfortable as I was towards the end of my singleton pregnancy 😁.

Answer

Everyone feels differently during pregnancy. A woman carrying one baby could actually be more miserable than someone with twins because her body may just not take pregnancy well. You can't compare pregnancies because everyone's body is different.

Answer

I was always annoyed. I hate people complaining especially during the initial days. Not specific about singletons but starting 32 weeks, twin pregnancy turns hopeless. Triplet moms probably deliver by that time. The physical suffering dominates the thought of happiness of babies. You can vent but not complain. I started venting out on this forum bcoz my husband did all he could and I didn't want to tell him about my pain at all though he could see it himself. But complaining starting from day 1 makes me think why some people even want to get pregnant if they were not prepared for it.

Answer

I get super annoyed my sister in law is pregnant and not very far along at that and she's always complaining about being tired her back hurting etc. And I'm like I'm way more pregnant than her and I'm not complaining. It's hard not to get annoyed.

Answer

This is my third pregnancy with twins. My two singletons were easy pregnancies but you do have all if the same feelings, aches, pains, and discomfort... i am only 15+2 so maybe i havent hit my breaking point and i  not big..yet.
If i were you id try to give them a break- some pregnancies are a lot harder on others no matter if they are singleton or twin.. it will pass and soon they'll be looking at you and giving you praise .

Answer

This is my 4th pregnancy and I enjoyed my first two singleton pregnancies. I miscarried my 3rd and now pregnant with twin girls and I am miserable. Hearing of people complain with one baby gets on my nerves as well.
