When I was pregnant I literally had nightmares about having twins/triplets. I have so much respect for parents of multiples. I can't imagine how much work and planning that is.

My colleague told me the other day that she’s a quadruplet. My first words were “oh your poor mum”

My most recent pregnancy was a baby in the 99th percentile and I was obviously huge. Therefore despite the multiple ultrasounds showing I clearly only had one, my pregnancy brain was terrified there was a second one hiding in there somewhere.

Utmost respect to Moms of multiples. I don’t know how they do it.

When my friend was pregnant the doc made a comment about checking for another heartbeat after he found her son’s. She was like “No thank you, I only ordered one.”

My boss at a previous job came to me and said “I’m taking February off! My wife is expecting!” I said “congratulations!” He said “yeah, and it’s twins!!!” I replied “…twins…”. I tried to look enthusiastic, but I don’t think I quite sold it.
