I'm 19 weeks with twins and I feel like I'd enjoy my pregnancy so much more if every conversation didn't start and end with judgement and assumptions.

When I announced my pregnancy, a coworker called me selfish because I got pregnant at the same time as another coworker and "now we'll have no staff when you're both on leave."

We were trying. And I was already pregnant when she announced. Not that it would have stopped me from trying anyway, but fuck. How rude.

Some other honourable mentions:

- Was it planned? Are you sure? You can tell us.

- Were you TRYING for twins? (HUH?)

- Twins? How unlucky!

- One of each? Oh well now your family is done after one pregnancy!

- Are you gonna do a c-section? You'll have to won't you?

- Are you sure it's not three in there?

- Oh you're having twins? *proceeds to tell a horror story about how somebody they know had twins and they died/had defects/whatever*

- What did the dad say when he found out? Was he happy or.. y'know..?

- How much weight have you gained? You're gonna get soooooo big.

- You didn't even get morning sickness. How lucky. (I did, but because I never called in sick to work, they assume I didn't?)

- So when are you taking maternity leave? For how long? Will you come back to work? Who will watch them? (They've been asking since I was 9 weeks.. bitch I don't know yet..)

So frustrating! I just want positive conversations about my pregnancy and babies. Being high risk I'm already a bit stressed and knowing everybody is gossiping like this really doesn't help. Almost all are from my coworkers too.
