... When she watches the footage back and hears the commentators say "and there's Tania his wife, wow must be twins at that size".

Or words to that affect. Does he not know he just broke a cardinal rule of what not to say about a pg woman. And this on the most momentous day of DHs life.

Apparently she's his stepdaughter which made it even lovelier to see as he obviously loved her so much. Grin

Who was thinking 'DON'T PUT YOUR HEAD IN THE SPIT MO!'

EasilyBored · 05/08/2012 08:29

Yes, DH and I we're both shouting at the screen 'dont roll in the spit'! Was a great race, and so lovely to see him with his family afterwards.

It could have been worse. one if the people I was watching it with made cruel comments about his daughters weight and how he should get her running to lose it.......

A1980 · 05/08/2012 08:32

Hit post too early:

Which I thought was terrible.

DolomitesDonkey · 05/08/2012 08:44

Does anyone know where she got that beautiful dress from? I'm not pregnant but I just "need" to know. Blush

HipHopSkipJumpomous · 05/08/2012 22:52

I don't think anyone said he was a bad dad boney

FreudianSlipper · 05/08/2012 22:56

i was asked a few times if i was having twins but no only the one

i quite liked it Blush my bump was lovely and round and all up front :)

worryingwillow · 05/08/2012 23:09

A1980 - nice of you to repeat it then so perhaps his daughter can come across it Hmm

Noqontrol · 05/08/2012 23:13

People used to comment on how big I was and it must be due soon, or twins, when I was only 24 weeks with dc2! Although I didn't care that much, people just speak without thinking too much sometimes.

Lovelynewboots · 06/08/2012 08:15

I got quite emotional when his daughter ran to meet him and he picked her up and hugged her. What a special moment for the pair of them.

Psammead · 06/08/2012 08:22

No.

No no NO. I am six and a half months pregnant with one, and she is seven months pregnant with two and I AM BIGGER THAN HER!

Fuck's sake, how is that fair?

I think that pose with the whole family should be one of the key images of this Olympics. It's a real display of this country's diversity - Mo Farrah who came to this country speaking no English age 8 and is now our first ever 10k medallist and a great example for the next generation, about to bring twins into a mixed-race, blended family.

What would have been great would have been to have a shot of the Farrahs with Jessica Ennis and the red-haired, fair-skinned Greg Rutherford - a big range of backgrounds, all doing their country equally proud on British athletics' greatest night.

I would say that the bizarre comments about my size have been the very hardest & most unexpected side effect about pregnancy! Totally ruined my confidence & made me feel like turning into a recluse until its all over so I don't have to listen to comments like,

"well at 5 months you're much bigger than most people at your stage aren't you?" err no, I don't think so. How the hell would I know?

"I shouldn't worry, probably you wont get much bigger now" well as I'm four months pregnant I think I will get ALOT bigger ffs

"I bet you never thought you'd look fat did you?" well, still being the same weight as before, I didn't expect to have a small 12week pregnancy belly described as fat, no. Thanks though.

Confusing when people also say
"are you really pregnant though? You look really small"

I wish people would keep their bloody opinions to themselves!
Did the commentator know she was having twins, as from OPs post sounds like he was just making an unprompted comment ??

TandB · 06/08/2012 08:47

the comment I heard made it clear that she was having twins.

lljkk · 06/08/2012 09:22

Gawd Mrs. Farah is a gorgeous woman (irrelevant, I know). I sat there shaking my head at DD saying "He must be an extremely nice guy because there's no way that dude's looks & fame attracted a woman like that".
I envision her on top of an Egyptian pedestal or sommat.

EldritchCleavage · 06/08/2012 17:08

Really lljkk? I think Mo Farah is quite cute.

eurochick · 06/08/2012 17:19

Yes, yes Kayano - I was shouting it at the telly!

She can't have minded being on screen that size - there was a whole bbc interview with her shown earlier on Saturday.

Nancy66 · 06/08/2012 17:37

lljkk - really?!! She looked pretty plain to me. I'm sure she's lovely n all that....but I didn't see the stunner that you did.
