Fine, don't take my advice, next time you're freaking out

Bonzer · April 2009

call your Ob/Gyn! Or better yet, rush to the emergency room!

Sit there all day and tell the nurse that you are 4 weeks 3 days pregnant and have no symptoms and you're freaking out.

Let an actual medical professional tell you that you are being a paranoid control freak and to stop. Then maybe it will register a little more that there is nothing and never will be anything anyone can do to prevent something from going wrong in the first few weeks of pregnancy.

AMEN!!!!!!!!!!!

You are behaving with far too much hostility. If you are SO bothered by posts of concerned (or even paranoid) women, then don't open them.

There is a way to encourage people to simmer without exuding condescending hostility.

I'm sorry that you're having trouble walking that fine line.

..and I say that, not as a pat on the back to myself, but only to remember that there is a way to put the fishing/worrying/obsessiveness in it's place without losing tact & basic sensitivity. I get that "OMG, NO SYMPTOMS" are annoying. Holy f*ck, I fought that war on this board for six months. It's annoying as shiit. Nobody likes to see 5000 "I haven't puked, is there something wrong with the baby?" posts from 4 weekers. But there's also a distinction between girls that need to be slapped upside the head & girls that are truly, truly terrified. Sometimes kid gloves are needed -- a firm hand, but kid gloves nonetheless.

This!!!!

For someone who is sooo worried about others that you're passing out advice, you're awfully bitter. Have you ever heard the saying - "you catch more flies with honey than you do with vinegar". Try it sometime, it may get you a lot further in life

This could be a little much. My post was serious for the most part. Those situations listed were ones from my Dr.

Chill out a little bit!

Yup, it's Tuesday. The previous post wasn't aimed at you. Now simmer down.

True! Thank you!

i'll admit i answered a little too enthusiastically eariler, and i hadn't read through the other posts. now that i have i feel like an ass.

that being said, i agree with you Blair 100%, while most of the whining is annoying i can understand being worried. i know i'll worry about this baby even after it's born. isn't that all part of being a mother?

I still think both of you need to calm down.

Oh and OP - speaking of controlling. Your several, hostile posts on this subject SCREAM of a desire to control what people post this board. Maybe if you would let go of that need to control others you would be able to handle the fact that other people deal with pregnancy and its many (or no) symptoms differently than you, and that is ok.

nah, we all do it at some point Wink

Hell, I am the first to admit that while I was in first tri, I jumped all over that shiit. Like I said, it's annoying as f*ck & I get that. On the other hand, you try to balance it with a little bit of humor & self-deprecation to try not to come across as insensitive.

I'm all about the warm & fuzzies today. Must have something to do with the very promising box of donuts 30 feet away from me...

IMAO 1st tri is the scariest part of pregnancy for most people, so yeah although I haven't posted hardely anything, I'll admit for the whole 1st tri I will be a chronic worry wart. I've experienced early loss multiple times and I never want to go through that again. I'll try not to bother you with my petty questions, complaints, and fears.

jessloveschase08 · April 2009

Wow, cool it with the hostility...

We are ALL entitled to our little freak-outs where we just want to call our OBs to get extra reassurance.

chloelwalker · April 2009

Is this all you do all day long? You replied to one of my posts with the same attitude. Just because you must be extremely unhappy in your own life does NOT mean you need to be condesending to pregnant mom's-to-be who worry about their unborn babies. Grow up. This isn't high school. Women come here for support not your unneeded drama. Way to show that your starving for attention :]

That's not always true
