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!!!!

I'm sure her and her daughter have never had problems getting pregnant. I can't believe people can be so rude. Good for you for not saying anything back. I probably would have.
I assume she had a big butt too.. :) those types.. they don't know the whole story.. you need to start making stuff up.. like, ones a puppy.. and a baby.. leave them speachless!!
I think you are very justified in your feelings!
what a jerky thing to say. big-butted stupid-lady. good thing for her your crotch was uncooperative. some people just don't know when to mind their own damn business.
are you kidding me?
next time, bring me with, there ain't nothing wrong with my crotch at the moment.
RUDE!
wow. unbelievable. i think i've lived in japan too long. in fact, the last time i remember someone being rude to me was when i was visiting my mom in nevada. what is the deal with people??
you should do what i always do and practice a speech for the next time it happens (i never can come up with anything to say at the time).
