Is It Just Me?

Or we have had a lot of pregnant woman on here lately telling us they might be having a miscarriage and wanted our opinion? I mean really...WHY ON EARTH would they think it would be ok to come here????

Seriously, WTF. I have to deal with it on FB and IRL. This is supposed to be our one safe haven where they can't come and remind us what they have and we lost!

KJsbabe

My thoughts exactly! Could they be more thoughtless??

It is so irritating!!  I don't think they have a clue how awful it is to have to read that crap.  The only thing worse is when they try and defend it.  Just say sorry and GO AWAY!

And what do they expect to hear here?   "Oh honey, don't worry, doesn't sound like a m/c to me"    

Some people are just so insensitive!

I was thinking the same thing, but then I thought maybe it was just me being bitter and angry over my loss. Like PP said, this is our safe place, so can't they just stay away until they know for sure?

the trolls and stupid insensitive women are certainly coming out.  But i know that when they are caught, the lovely ladies who have been there before are there to try to protect you and scare them away!!  i have been over at TTCAL, and i know they along with the PgAL gals are very protective of the women on this board.

 This is our safe zone, especially for those of those who are still new to the suffering and grieving, and for the rest of us who are moving on, but still grieve and need a place to share, or comfort.

I know on TTCAL they have a wonderful blog to let newbies and lurkers know how and when to post, and what is ok, and what is not appropriate contact (like posting a question about if you are having a miscarriage is NOT ok on this board--go elsewehere, like your month board!)

{big hugs} and we will do our best to keep those insensitive women away!

I've been on and off the board during the past couple of weeks but noticed the same pattern. Also, this might seem obvious, but despite the support I've found on these boards both while I was pregnant and after my losses, my first line of defense when I had a question was my OB. I've had the same doctor for almost six years so not only does she know me inside and out, but I trust her completely, so if I have a problem or question that actually medically related, I just ask her, not a group of strangers. If you think you're having a m/c, contact your doctor.
