Why is it such an annoyance to hear about other peoples symptoms?? Everyone has their own threshold for discomfort and pain. Its nice to vent to other women going through the same thing,(unless you are rediculously lucky and have no MS) . Quit telling people to buck up and keep scrolling .... Holy hormones , #RBF
@Rach8672 The problem isn't about hearing about other people's symptoms. The problem is six posts on the front page about nausea. We try redirecting women to the daily symptoms posts, so (1) we're not clogging the board with the same thing, meaning we might miss thread a loss and (2) so these new posters actually get answered, instead of ignored due to multiple posts. We all like to complain about our symptoms, we don't tell people to buck up and keep scrolling, we're just trying to ensure that this BMB remains as efficient and streamlined as possible.
I'm not really referring to the multiple posts in different threads , I'm just referring to the terms "buck up" and "whiny" that were used multiple times previously in this thread . I guess we all have something that erks us , well that erked me ,that is all We should only be posting about our favorite animals and brownies bahaha
My UO is I don't judge women who announce early. I announced this pregnancy and my pregnancy with my daughter after our first ultrasounds where we saw a heartbeat. I have miscarried before and understand the risk of announcing early, but in the event I miscarried, I would want my family and friends to know about it anyway in order to have a large support system. I talk about my previous loss often because of the stigma associated with miscarriage, and I don't want anyone suffering in silence to feel alone. It's a very personal decision. I don't judge when a woman chooses to announce.
I'm a STM and my 24/7 morning sickness is more difficult than my newborn was, which is saying a lot because he was colicky. I'm lucky to work from home, otherwise I probably would have missed a few days of work by now because I can't seem to move without needing to puke. I also get incredibly lightheaded and feel like I'm going to pass out if I'm on my feet for too long. If you haven't missed a day of work, good for you.
That said, the only people I have complained to are my husband and mom. I would never complain about being pregnant, just the symptoms themselves. Sometimes it's nice to get it out and have people who can commiserate.
Caitlyn Jenner is an inspiration. Heroes come in many forms and if she saves even one single transgendered child from commuting suicide, it was worth all the media attention IMO.
YAASSSS! You get a slow clap my friend for all of that ^^
I hate the word lurking. And I'm okay with seeing the same question 3 times. It just means people are using a community for questions. Just because they don't use the exact post you'd like for them to doesn't make them a horrible participant. It makes them a concerned person looking for answers. Chances are, if they're like me, they've searched everything there is to look up on Google but would rather hear from a real person. And I personally think it's more selfish to be hateful towards another person for being concerned than it is to post something on a new thread that you may or may have not known was previously posted
ALSO. LET IT FREAKIN GO
NEEDED TO GET THAT OFF MY CHEST. AND IT FEELS SO GOOD
I'm one of those weenies who didn't want to work because of symptoms.... In my defense I have the most irrational fear of vomiting. I've never personally met anyone who has it like i do. And when I tell people they think I'm weird, they say when they feel sick they just throw up. so like when I get nauseous to where I think I might puke my heart races and my palms sweat and I start hyperventilating. I have no idea why this happens to me!! So so far my that's my only difficulty with pregnancy. I can handle everything else so far that has been thrown at me, but nausea has ALWAYS been a super hard thing for me. It's not the nausea necessarily I guess, it's the panic that comes with it. I wanted to quit work so bad (income is not necessary) but I love my job so I decided to stick with it. Glad I did because work helps distract me even though I would rather be on the couch lol
I think my UO is I don't think it's okay when people rehome animals because they don't "have time for them". I think there a few acceptable reasons, but not having time for them makes me so sad.

I have had this fear since I was 10 and choked while vomiting. I haven't thrown up until now. I have spent all of the years in between living in fear of barfing. I am talking panic attack fear. After throwing up several times this pregnancy that fear is gone. Doesn't mean it's any easier or that I hate it any less, but I've done it....it's still awful. I am glad the fear has lessened because the anxiety around barf was almost as bad as barfing for real. I feel Ya!
@Mamabeagle I agree I don't think he is attractive either. He isnt unattractive but I don't see the fuss.
My UO is people constantly asking when I'll be pregnant. My hubby and I just got married this winter and it started the second we said "I do". It gets very irritating. Even now that I am pregnant but cant tell anyone, I don't want to give people the satisfaction of telling them. When I say people I mean customers from work and people we don't see often. I cant wait to tell family and close friends! Someone (whos number I didn't even recognize so they cant be that important) texted me the other day and all it said was "pregnant yet?"
@cali1710 I got pregnant right after our wedding last time so I avoided all of this. Now DS is almost 14 months old and so many people ask me if I'm ready for a 2nd! It doesn't bother me so much but I think it'd be really annoying if I had a hard time getting pregnant or if I experienced a loss. I know that people are not saying it to be hurtful but I can see how it could cause a lot of pain. I try to see it as people just generally love babies and pregnant women... I don't know! Haha

I think is is my biggest fear in giving birth w/out medication b/c I hear a lot of times women get sick. I would rather birth triplets than puke one! So irrational, I know!
My UO is that abbreviations like UO, DH, LO, DS, SO, blah blah blah get on my last damn nerve. It takes me more time to look up what the heck those mean than the time it saves to abbreviate it. Hahaha!
**disclaimer: this is not an attack on those who use abbreviations. I just won't try and figure out what you're saying**
@MssyMmmy sometimes I wonder if I just threw up if I would get over it. But it's just actually letting myself throw up. I'm not sure what part of it exactly scares me, but I think it's the dry heaving afterwards. I think I feel like I'll never stop throwing up once I start lol. Idk why
Mine is when pregnant women say they're eating for 2 and when they let themselves go. Meaning not putting any effort in your appearance. Going with no make up and ultra big clothes will definitely make you look and feel sick if that wasn't how you were before getting pregnant. Eat well, not everything you see, and put extra effort to keep yourself up. Your poor husband doesn't want to look at that.
...Add to this that after these women let themselves go for 9 months, they then complain about how hard it is to loose the weight! I lost 75lbs ten years ago. I was an obese teenager, and I have spent my adult life trying to be and stay fit and healthy. By no means am i the thinnest girl in a room, but I feel better in my skin. Getting pregnant to me means, continuing to stay healthy now for me and the baby. Yes i want to eat more carbs, and yes I may like the occasional sweet but, like normal life being pregnant is still about eating well and in moderation. I agree it sounds harsh, but I guess thats why these are called our UO's!
I 100% agree. Why do you care when/if/how I announce? Where's the rule book that states I have to wait until the third trimester? In the 1950's? If I have a miscarriage is it going to suck less because no one else knows, my guess is hell no. I'm not much of a complainer, but I also would never tell someone else that they need to buck up (unless it was my husband).

UO: That there are so many women who instead of choosing to be supportive and understand to other soon to be mom's shame them for being nervous and scared and sick. This is my first pregnancy and I feel so blessed, but I am also exhausted, sick 24/7 and terrified that I might miscarry. This group is supposed to be so we can lift each other up, share our experiences with each other and recognize that every pregnancy is different therefore the severity of symptoms is different for each woman. Instead it's a bunch of drama seeking woman shaming each other because they somehow think they are better for "bucking up". I work all day with preschoolers who exhaust me emotionally and physically. ..and I'm sorry when I can't even move without feeling like I'm going to vomit I can not do my job properly. When I have the baby in January I have the opportunity to stay home until they are ready to go to school. So right now I am making sure I do everything in my power to take care of myself and our little blueberry. And if that means staying home from work so be it. It doesn't make me less of a woman than any of you. I will be leaving this board because the vast majority are a bunch of trolling bitches looking to put each other down.
Huh? This board is totally tame. I haven't seen much bashing at all. This thread is for UOs which are probably going to offend people. But the rest of them seem to be pretty supportive.

She's been here a whole 2 weeks, so I'm sure she TOTALLY understands what this site is like...
Calling a bunch of women that you DON'T know "bitches" isn't cool. Peace. You will be missed.
My UO is that I completely agree with @k8tielynn (you know the one y'all keep reporting for giving her opinion). I thought this board was supposed to be supportive and encouraging. But most of the time y'all are vicious. If I want to post another board about how I'm concerned about my growing baby then imma do it. I don't care if there is 10837362829168 posts about it somewhere else. Because that post probably isn't the exact same a mine. If you don't like it. Keep scrolling - no need for rudeness. We are all pregnant, all going through different things, all hormonal. Be respectful. Honestly- I've been debating on leaving the group. It's come to the point where certain people think they own this - NEWSFLASH- you don't. It's getting annoying. I don't need someone to tell us to use the search feature. Nah, I'm good- I'll use this board how I see fit, when I see fit, and where I darn well please! And I CERTAINLY will not be sitting in a corner cowardly waiting for some person to report me for going against the TOU for stating my opinion. Ever heard of the first amendment? I'm sorry, but if you are that upset because someone out there called you a bitch then you need to re-evaluate yourself. I am a bitch... And I approve this message. 8->

@carlyhammond Thank you!! Getting really tired of seeing women be snarky and rude to others. It's like high school all over again. And then when down one speaks out, they get reported. Wahhh I'm giving it one the rest of the weekend and I'm going to look for a better app. This is exhausting
Darn it I think I missed a good post too late I guess.
@BBEA2006 @haligirl2318 Yes! Labor freaks me out without an epidural. I was in the delivery room with my friend last year and had to walk out every time she puked. I felt so bad because her husband couldn't be there so I was in there the most, but I can't imagine puking. I think that's part of the reason I changed my mind about natural birth and want the epi.
and yes lol, I would choose a broken bone over nausea any day. My boss thinks I'm crazy because I told her I'd rather have the flu and be stuffed up than have the stomach bug and just puke and get it over with. Lol
