What to say...

E.

When someone asks you if this is your first? I am 12w5d with twins after a MMC back in August. I told the person, who was a health care provider, that we had actually had a miscarriage and then she apologized and it seemed she felt awkward for bringing it up. I don’t know that I always want to bring it up especially to perfect strangers, but at the same time I feel dishonest saying this is my first pregnancy. I anticipate this being a frequently asked kind of thing and am wondering if best responses. How are you ladies handling this kind of routine question?
