Ugh! My frustration level is above and beyond where I can handle. I am over the ignorance.
I've told you ladies about my pregnant co-worker who has no sense... Period! Well the past two weeks she hasn't spent a whole day at work. And not for nothing but it has been sort of relaxing without her there, but the time that she has been there has been so annoying. The pure shit that comes out of her mouth is unreal.
So today not even clocked in at work, she comes over to me and tells me she spent the past 7 hours in the ER because she is bleeding, and that she has been bleeding for the past two weeks. Last week she rushed to the hospital for bleeding and the doctor told her she has placenta previa ( not sure how you spell it... Anyway). But she continues to tell me that the resident that was working on her tells her he has no experience in OB/GYN. Following that the resident says he isn't sure how to use the ultrasound machine so he is going to do an EKG in her. She then says she tells the resident "I don't need an EKG... I need to know that my baby isn't dead!" I was at a lost for words and just said "UH!" and just want walked away. After a much needed break after such an ignorant comment I come back and she continues the story. And what she concludes with is "I'm just trying to do everything in my power to make sure my baby doesn't die".
All I feel right now is that she thinks that my sons death is in some way contagious. Like her baby is bound to die because mine did. I feel so many emotions and anger is at the forefront. I want to hit her and slap the stupidity out of her. I want to tell her about herself and her ignorance. I want to tell her "just because my son died doesn't mean there is a problem with yours." I want to tell her that "if what happened to my son were to happen to her child, there wouldn't be ANY way possible to prevent it from happening." I want to tell her "she doesn't deserve such a blessing!"
Sorry for my rudeness, my bluntness, and my anger. I just don't know where else to go to release this anger. I'm sorry if this offends any of you ladies, but it's not directed towards any of you, and I apologize. Feel free to respond, or not.
In the illustrious words of my sister Ashley, she sounds like a "c*ntsteak". True story, she totally made up that word. It is hideous yet describes the situation perfectly.

What a freaking moron.
You need to tell her how she is offending you. I am not good at coming up with what exactly to say. Maybe just tell her that you hope everything goes well with her pregnancy and that it is just to painful still to discuss anything related to pregnancy. If she doesn't back off after saying something then go to hr or your boss. I am so sorry you are dealing with that idiot!

Ugh how frustrating! She sounds like a total idiot. I would absolutely tell her the things you feel like saying to her...maybe it will force her to be a bit more mindful before she opens her stupid mouth! But if you want to be PC just say "unfortunately when you say things like that to me it makes me feel like I somehow had control over my baby's death and that I did something wrong which is an awful feeling". But I'm sure she'd somehow turn it back around to her. Good luck!
