So on Friday, I went to see the perinatologist for my monthly ultrasound. All my Dr.'s appts are at the hospital, so everytime I walk in I can tell people think I'm going to have my baby. Little do they know it's 2, so that's why I'm waddling, holding my stomach up and walking really really slow. On more than one occasion I have been asked if I'm okay or if I need help, it's pretty funny.
Anyways, back to my story, so I'm in the hospital going up to my appt. and waiting for an elevator. A Mom and her newborn, and I'm assuming the Grandma walk up.
Here is the conversation that followed.
The Mom(although I have another choice name for her): Oh, I can tell by the way you look you are due any day.
Me: I Wish!! I'm due in June
The Mom: WHAT!?!??!?!!? But you're so big and you look really pregnant.
Me: Well, I'm having 2.
The Mom: OH Twins, that's nice.
By this time the elevator had opened and we got in along with about 5 other people.
She continued to ask me questions, like did I have other kids, who my dr was etc....
Innocent enough right?
The Grandma finally pipes in: OH, so do Twins run in your family?
Right here is when I really should have just said yes or no and left it at that, but no, there I go again telling the truth.
ME: No,actually we did fertility.
The MOM: (with a look of disgust on her face) OH, THEN YOU ARE JUST A GLUTEN FOR PUNISHMENT AREN'T YOU????
I was so in shock I couldn't form words to tell her off, I just stood there staring at her, not believing those words just came out of her mouth.
As I got off the elevator, she yells GOOD LUCK! I wanted to Karate Chop her but my crotch would not allow that. lol.
I just don't understand how people can be so judgemental and rude when they have no idea what the story is, or attack a personal choice like that. It's not like I was sitting there moaning and groaning and telling her how bad I had it. Stupid lady.
The END!!!!
