You know what question I hate..."Is this your first?"
As my growing belly is noticeably pregnant, often times, the first question is:
When are you due?
Then comes: Do you know what you are having?
After that: Do you have a name picked out yet?
And then sometimes I get: "Is this your first?"
In the beginning, I would take the time to explain about Sprout, but now I just say "yes." It beats having to deal with awkward conversation. I know in my heart, sweet Nuggette is not our first, technically, so what does it really matter.
Do any of you have experience with this?

Definitely do, but I never found a comfortable answer that fit all situations. I ended up playing it by ear, and deciding moment by moment whether to explain about Wallaby or not. <3
That's a tough one emotionally isn't it? I guess you don't have to be honest with everyone (person in the supermarket etc...) Sprout will not mind if you gloss over it in those situations.
What you know in your heart is much more important than what is spoken.
We are dealing with this... kinda. I am actually building a post in my head about it. Only, we are starting to get the questions about when we will try for our next and, after Heather's 2 miscarriages... it's really awkward... and I never know what to say...
When do we get to see that belly??? :)
I've never been pregnant, but my Mom had a miscarriage first and she has definitely talked about the pain of people asking and commenting about her "first" pregnancy (post-miscarriage).
I had a good friend mis carry at her 8 months....and when she went back to work some people who didn't know her but has seen her around the build would ask....so hows the baby...and she too just started saying good.....because she started to tell the story and it was just to hard....
