  • ^^Of course! It has absolutely no bearing on me whatsoever. It's probably a combination of worry for them but also that they're naive to all the things that could happen. I'm not sure why it irks me really. But yeah, totally annoys me lol I know the group is likely divided on this. That's why i figured it's a good UO i feel oddly strong about

    That's pretty judgmental. They're freshly pregnant so how could they *possibly* know anything about pregnancy?! (Sarcasm) Ha

  • @Mommaswizz we told DH's cousin and his wife a little past 10 weeks...when they heard my due date they told me one of their friends had a due date after mine and had been posting on Facebook about the pee stick, every puke, every "bloat", etc...for the past 5 weeks already. 

    I just...can't even. Do you even know how much fun it is to have that big of a secret with your SO for awhile??? 

    Also? Facebook doesn't care. haha

    In all fairness, i'm not trying to be judgmental. Maybe it's projecting my own experience. With my first pregnancy I was MUCH less worried about all the things that could go wrong. This time around i was waiting with baited breath to hit that mark where things felt "safe." Which is probably naive of ME! My mother had a stillborn before i was born. I guess it's never really safe till you're holding that baby right?

    I feel it needs reminding, just because my opinion is different that yours does not make me judgmental. Cool your jets with the finger pointing. It's the UO thread lol
  • ^Yes! @bluejeanbabi05 I think that sums it up perfectly. I think maybe i get that twinge of jealousy wishing i was that confident. I really dont mean this opinion to be a dick lol. Sharing early is just not for me. To each their own though! Tell whenever you want, people!

    I'm all for to each their own when they want to share.  All 3 of my sisters were quick to jump on the announcement train.  I think it's funny now that they are squirming to let the news out about 2.0 but I'm making them wait.

    But I think the deep down issue is that so many moms don't care to be informed about pregnancy/babies.  I mean obviously we are all in a much different boat as we've run to pregnancy/baby sources which led us here.  But a lot of moms in my area just rely on what their moms tell them which is 20-30 year old information.  I probably have a different perspective from many as I come from a very poor state.  It's just sad watching how low economic levels affect some women's desire for knowledge about healthy pregnancies.  I figure someone will jump down my throat for that statement, but remember I watched my SIL smoke her entire pregnancy and then wonder why her baby was having such a difficult time.

    To me, this just screams of someone wanting all the attention.  And baby is their new shiny toy.

    @wbleyl While I don't hate IKEA, I do have to make sure my anxiety is in check. I love how cheap things can be, but I have really high social anxiety. That place tends to send me in an attack. As long as I go in prepared and not on a busy day I'm ok.

  • I never had feta and strawberry but OMG it sounds amazing right now. I guess I have to try it! What else goes in there? I had fried halloumi and apple the other day, it was delicious!
    and the babies to nursery discussion...there was no way that anyone was allowed to remove my fresh, new baby from my eyesight. I couldn't sleep anyway, I kept waking up checking on him!
  • @JessDG pretty much lol. I'm just not big on alcohol in general, but wine and champagne are too bitter for me. Now not being able to take my migraine meds is brutal and the only thing I have an issue with during pregnancy. Most women count down to having a drink after birth. Me? I count down till I can take my meds again 
  • My best friend makes this amazing Greek chip dip with tomatoes and feta cheese and Greek seasonings and other wonderful things I can't think of right now. Sooo good.
