You just have to know how to interpret and be a bit patient...<BR/><BR/>Salesman 1: Now, can you breastfeed three babies? - he really means, does a female body recognize that it will have to produce more milk because you are pregnant with multiples? I am pretty sure he was not thinking you were going to grow a 3rd breast.<BR/><BR/>Salesman 2: Are they natural? (The babies, not my breastfeeding equipment.)- granted you cut him some slack by assuming he was talking about the babies but in this age of open information for all, I would guess he was wondering about fertility treatments. Given the information that is shared on the front page of the People magazine that probably felt like a mundane and appropriate question.<BR/><BR/>You have to admit, it is hard to bring this up in conversation and not expect some questions, personally I would be disappointed if people did not react when I bring it up.<BR/><BR/>Uncle DaveAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7644421137353440862.post-76118917586085434062008-08-19T11:57:00.000-04:002008-08-19T11:57:00.000-04:00I'd like to think they were trying to be nice ...I'd like to think they were trying to be nice - and a lot of people are just curious and don't ask the most appropriate questions. When I tell people I have friends expecting triplets, the 1st question is usually about fertility treatment. I say the mom's a twin - so I think it runs in the family. Maybe the guys visited Indiana state fair and saw the lactation station tents and education stuff on donating breast milk -(lol) and since it's in the news more about breast feeding and that more & more people with multiples use fertility drugs to just try and have 1 child and have 2,3,4, 5, 6 etc babies they were curious. Althought I can only imagine what Q's some may keep to themselves. Wouldn't that be a funny book?<BR/><BR/>Hang in there - we're pulling for all of you.<BR/><BR/>EmilyEmily & Ed Ticehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00636688674934922166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7644421137353440862.post-576334396947711162008-08-19T10:07:00.000-04:002008-08-19T10:07:00.000-04:00It's amazing what people think they can ask you ab...It's amazing what people think they can ask you about when you are pregnant, especially with multiples.Pamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02361862818014445935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7644421137353440862.post-4693360410185462322008-08-18T20:05:00.000-04:002008-08-18T20:05:00.000-04:00Some people are just unbelievable!!Some people are just unbelievable!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7644421137353440862.post-63922984922867949672008-08-18T09:51:00.000-04:002008-08-18T09:51:00.000-04:00Ah, the pitfalls of taking down boundaries in our ...Ah, the pitfalls of taking down boundaries in our society! I think wistfully of the time when men would have never discussed any aspect of pregnancy with a woman unless they were a vested partner in it. :-)Donya Lesterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11099959556189382758noreply@blogger.com
