Infertility

Has anyone ever noticed...

thebump ads on the sides of the IF message board? They show a big pregnant belly, lists of baby names, etc. Does anyone else find this ironic or a little mocking?

It doesn't upset me, I just realized it and thought I would share :)

We also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And HOPE does not dissappoint.

  • Have you noticed the big ad that is displayed when you first log onto the Bump? It's advertising a free vacation if you tell how your experience as a mother has been. It really p*sses me off every time I see it. Not cool.

  • It's like the picture they had on the homepage of a pregnant woman smiling and eating cereal. I hated her every day even though I knew it was one of the most irrational thoughts EVER. Haha.

  • This sort of goes along with the recording when I call RE. It says " Are you pregnant? we want to help you have a healthy pregnancy" etc etc. Annoying and the last thing I wanted to hear!
