Surreal moment of the day

We were at a two year old's bday party today, a mom/kid combo that MC and I made friends with when I was on leave way back when.

Kailyn and Isaac from Teen Mom were at the party.

I'm now insanely curious about how my friend is connected to her. 

The other thing....it seems like the group of moms I made friends with at the new mommies group, all of them are pregnant again and a scary high percentage have SURPRISE!  two for the price of one.

I'm fairly certain I would stop breathing if I got knocked up and realized not just #2 but also #3 was on the way.

Re: Surreal moment of the day

  • Is this scarily high % due to fertility treatments?

  • Whuut. If you find out how they know each other please share. Weird. I do not want twins. At. All.

  • Only one is due to IVF.  The other is fluke identical twins when they weren't even really trying.  I have a friend back in Seattle that also recently had surprise, non IVF related twins.

  • I had a brief moment of panic when I was first pregnant because someone here mentioned the increased chance of twins if you get pregnant right after birth control.

    There are so many sets of twins in my school that the first year we all joked that the new school was part of some sort of twin study. I don't know what's in the tap water in the area but I'm glad I don't live there.

    I'm pretty sure it's pronounced your mom's a moron and if you didn't have your name legally changed by the age of 22, so are you. Unless you're from another continent. -Groomz
  • Are they older? I read that the older you got the higher chance of having multiples on later pregnancies was due to the body releasing multiple eggs at a time. 
  • Oh it's not that bad.  Of course I don't know any different but it's been quite enjoyable the past two weeks.

  • In their early to mid thirties, all of them.  I'm sure it would eventually be wonderful, but the thought of a toddler and two newborns is a bit overwhelming.

    Toddlers are exhausting in their own right.

    Oh, and because I'm a nosy nelly, I straight up asked her and I guess Kailyn is a cousin.  Who knew!

  • Tell your friend her cousin is dumber than a box of rocks please.

    I think I would take a long walk off a short cliff if I had another surprise pregnancy. Then I'd have a heart attack on the way down if I knew it was TWO. Indifferent

    I'll stick with just this one, thanks.

  • Yeah. I told my mom if I ever had twins I'd be shipping one to her. I seriously don't know if I could handle it, especially with a toddler.

  • Yikes! I'm not at all interested in twins. And yet every once in a while, I think about how cool 3 kids would be in like 5+ years. Y'all got me scared about the possibility of twins if I get pregnant right after the pill, but no health websites even mention that as a possible increased risk. I have heard that past 35, twins become more likely. Who knows. I guess I'll just cross my fingers for another singleton because I'm old.

  • I'd die. DIE.

    I could've sworn you were the one that originally mentioned it when I was first pregnant and hadn't revealed yet. So I was silently panicking over nothing? As long as I hurry up after this one and pop another one out in the next 3 years of course.

  • Yay Dawg, I'm glad things are so awesome!

    Man, to hear my cousins tell it, having twins after having 1 kid already RUINED THEIR LIVES. But they are very dramatic and high strung.
