1st Trimester
To the board, and esp. *Sunflower*
I have not been on the boards for a couple of days due to work, so coming on the boards this morning and seeing all the unnecessasary drama was crazy.
I realize ppl want this done, and it will be, but I have a few things to say first.
From a person who struggled with infertility, recurrent miscarriages, and a person who is currently in first tri, I'm ashamed of how this board and Sunflower was treated.
Those who have never had the unfortunate experience of infertility, it is truely hard to understand the feelings that go with that. I would never wish it on anyone. Ever.
With that said, infertiles go through a variety of emotions; I can't explain them all. But, I am sorry that things got way out of hand when they shouldn't have gone there to start with.
The miracle of life is truely a blessing, and it's all in God's plan. This is something that has taken me a while to learn. I was that infertile who was mad at every pregnant woman I saw and every baby I laid eyes on. It was hard for me because I wanted it so bad, and I could not understand why I had issues getting pregnant, and when I did I couldn't carry them.
It's taken me a while to understand that every life is meant to be, no matter who's it is and how they got here. It's God's plan. We may not understand it now, but in time we will.
So, I just wanted to say Congrats to Sunflower and all on this board. And I'm sorry Sunflower and the board had to go through all that when you should be happy and feel blessed for the blessings that God has bestowed upon you. Trust in God - it's his plan - he would not have given you this gift if it wasn't meant to be.
Congrats!

I couln't have said it better myself.
While I absolutely agree with you that the way Sunflower was treated was unacceptable, I do feel it necessary to point out that most of the nasty comments and snark did not come from the 1st trimester board girls.
Please hang around Sunflower!!
Well said! I too was thinking about how God wouldn't have given her 3 if it wasn't meant to be
Sunflower hun, I wish you the very best of luck and so much happiness and health to you and your 3 LOs during the months to come
Yeah, from what I could see, almost everyone from 1st tri was very supportive and nice to Sunflower. It was the group of girls from a few other boards who were harassing her, saying that she was giving infertility a bad name while in the same breath they were telling her she should abort her babies down to just one......biggest hypocrites on the Bump.
