WOW

Brittni Rimmer

I got told last night by a couple of people that i'm not far enough along to feel any symptoms (my boobs hurt so bad, are swollen, and I'm bloated and have cramps), and that the baby isn't alive right now.

And on top of that, I have my first huge cry last night (it was weird...I just cried for NO REASON). DH wasn't being very sensitive. I feel like my body has been taken over. I'm very uncomfortable and I hurt.

I'm not complaining, because I know that when I have this beautiful baby, hopefully I won't remember the uncomfortable-ness.

wow is right, people are DUMB.

the baby is not alive? what are they smoking?

and hormones are hormones and yes some ladies have symptoms at implantation, and some have none until they start to show and feel the baby moving...

SCREW THEM!  Your baby became "alive" the moment the sperm met the egg and I started to feel sick as all hell starting at 5 wks 0 days so they can take their assumptions and go play the lottery with it.  They probably have a better shot at winning that than being correct about what they said to you.

Was it somebody IRL or somebody here?

 Some people have symptoms before their period is even late, so meh.

next time tell them that "my body is obviously different than yours!"

i really hate it when people think everyone should have the same symptoms at the same time! even some books will tell you "right about now you should be puking your guts out" and then the 6th week comes along and nada.  so far i feel wonderful and i even had some peope ask "are you sure you're pregnant?"  loL!

Some people I work with...they basically claimed that I was a hypochondriac, just because they apparently didn't feel anything by this point. Which, to that I just said every woman is different!

I had that happen to me as well this week!  I started cramping at implantation and besides a few free days here and there, I have been cramping ever since.  The girl told me that I was making up the symptoms.  Made me sooo mad!  I think I know my body better than her!  Not to mention...she isn't pregnant and has never been.

Keep your chin up!  We know our bodies better than them.

That's crazy. I haven't heard of many people who didn't have symptoms by that point. I think they are definitely in the minority there. Ugh, how rude.

people seriously suck

I'm sorry, that really sucks.  I remember when I was about 5 weeks and was complaining about being really tired and sore bbs, DH said, "I think you're thinking things...You only just found out your pregnant last week."  I wanted to smack him.

I bought DH a book called, "The Expectant Father", which lists out a month-by-month run down of everything that's going on in your body.  Maybe that would help your DH. 

Bottom line, other people don't know what it's like.  Hang in there.

This is why I won't tell anyone but my family and best friend. I don't need any opinions on how I should or should not be feeling.

If someone told you that your baby is not alive they need a lesson in how babies are made. People can be such sh*ts!

shari_rngleson

it is amazing all of the stupid things you get told while pregnant! ? just ignore them. ?sorry you feel so bad- 2nd tri does get a lot better, but overall pregnancy is just really uncomfortable.

Brittni Rimmer

You ladies are awesome! I don't care what anyone says about you!

That's pretty assy of them. I mean, I've had very few symptoms thus far and I just assume that I am lucky, not that everyone else is making stuff up! They suck.
