Peoples innocent comments make me gag (tickers & pic)

ARGH. I'm having a really rough day and just need to vent somewhere that it would be understood.

I don't post on this board a lot but I am always on here. September 21st, 2010 we discovered that I lost one of my twins. It has been a constant struggle to continue on loving and growing one baby while mourning the loss of another. Each month and each milestone I hit with this pregnancy seems to make the pain a little less intense but the bigger I get the more people ask me "Oh, are you sure there's not two in there?". I think I've gotten about a dozen of these comments just this week. I know that most of these people don't know me or my history but I just can't stand hearing another one of these comments. Yes, as$wipes, I'm positive there's only one in there.

A man at Sam's Club today offering me a sample of food asked me the dreaded "Are you having twins?" question and was so demanding that I was HUGE for my size (which really, I'm not at all huge) and that I have a bad doctor because there's probably more than one in there. I lost it in the middle of this huge store and ever since I've been home the only thing I can see when I close my eyes is that ultrasound where there was one happy, healthy moving baby and onde floating deceased baby.

Sorry for the vent. I just needed to get that out, hoping that it'll help.

Lucky-Absolutely appauling that you'd post pictures like that on a loss board.  You've been reported.

 Kim-Sorry about the comments.  Completely understandable that you'd feel how you do.

I can't believe Lucky's totally inappropriate post either.  If you click on the Block button you don't have to see the obscene post any longer. 

Anyway, I'm sorry people have used such insensitive comments.  People say some really stupid things and don't always think about how hurtful those comments may be.  The day after I found out about my missed M/C, I was leaving my work parking garage and the parking attendant (extremely nosy, tactless person) asked me if I was expecting again?  I briefly said "no" and just left it at that.  She said "oh--maybe your sweater's just big."  I was horrified.  I was then and still am now carrying a child who has passed on and because I have a DD, I started showing early this pregnancy before I realized it had all already started to end.  I'm sorry you have to go through this.  Take care of yourself.
