I have ever seen on this site. And hot damn is that saying something.
What a rebel you are, you ate deli meat! Quick, someone call the sheriff, we've got some renegade preggers over here! Who knows what trouble they might get into? I bet they even sipped a beer. ZOMG!
I'm a first trimester failure too. As in, I didn't graduate from the first trimester because my babies died. Still think that's such a clever little thing?
What a bunch of effing morons. No one cares if you drank a Coke. Bragging about it does not exactly make you seem mature or intelligent.

There is nothing I hate more on 1st than people bragging about the risky stuff they do (whether it's risky or not).
Remember the chick bragging about having gone on a roller coaster at 10w?
Oh hell, that one was classic.
Here's the thing: eat deli meat. Eat brie. I don't think it matters, quite honestly.
But seriously. Oh, what a badass you are. A hot dog. Wow. Someone keep an eye on this one.

I went to a party last weekend and there was this woman who was 10 wks pg. Drinking beer and smoking cigs. Someone asked her why and she said "I just don't think this pg should make it so I can't do the things I want to do."
Setting aside the topic of what's risky and what isn't, it all just strikes me as so arrogant. These women are just so sure that nothing will go wrong that the thought that something could doesn't even enter their minds...it really bothers me. There's just not even the slightest bit of room, amongst all that entitlement, for things like self-awareness.
I don't think her pregnancy should make it so you can't do the things you want to do. Like beat the crap out of her.
This!
Although for the record, I would put forth that "by the book" sucks because it tries to establish for a woman that there's some power she has over a pregnancy being successful or unsuccessful. The BOOK instills some artificial control over the outcome of her pregnancy. Those who buck the system see themselves as rogue, when, in fact, THE BOOK IS ABSOLUTE AND UTTER BULLSH!T.
We have no control. None. We can do our best and abide the book's suggestions, but none of that is going to guarantee us a healthy baby.

So wise. I'm beginning to recognize this and internalize it. It's really hard to let go of the self-blame I've been wallowing in of late.
Thank you for this.
