Taking a break from BUMP... see you girls in 2 weeks!

kmajeed · September 2010

With all the losses that have been happening, I've become extremely anxious about my own pregnancy... Although I have no reason to believe anything is wrong... I need to be able to BE positive and think positive during my 2 week wait for our first ultrasound. Good luck in the meantime ladies

Yeah... I think I'm going to do the same thing. Mine is next week and I am sitting here crying reading everyone's posts.

See you later.

While I understand what you ladies are saying I think you should have just disappeared for a few weeks if you were going to do that. The ladies who have had a loss shouldn't be made to feel guilty for posting. They need support right now. I know that when I had mine it was wonderful to see the support from the women on the board. They helped me stay positive until I knew for sure. I understand you wanting to keep the anxiety down but think about how they might feel now.

My intentions of writing this post was not to offend anyone! I have no problem extending my support and prayers to ladies that are going through hard times.. I just felt I could voice my opinions as well, by saying I'm taking some time away from here and that it is too much for ME personally. Didn't want anyone to be worried, if anything else.

Thanks!

Personally, I have an anxiety disorder, which is why I'm choosing to disappear for a while -- reading everything posted here has been making me nervous about my own pregnancy and everything I've been through to get here. Maybe I could have disappeared without saying anything, but I also felt like the OP could prob use some support and know that she's not the only one who felt that way as well. I know if I were the first to post that, it would be nice to know that I'm not the only one who feel so emotionally connected to this board-- it gets overwhelming in different ways for different people. I've supported women on this board who have lost their babies, I've prayed for every single post that I've read. I didn't reply the way I did to make anyone feel "guilty" for posting that they have miscarried and are bringing people down-- but you shouldn't make others feel guilty for saying how they feel as well.

So.... intention is NOT to make anyone feel guilty. If anything, I feel so connected to people from reading everything that's been posted the past few weeks, I'm grieving with them. If that's so bad, then remember who I am however you want.

Totally off topic, but I love your siggy pic.

I understand. I tried to do the same thing, but ya know...just don't read the posts if they bother you. )

sugarplum2 · September 2010

And I understand if people are pissed that I wrote that, you have a right to feel whatever you want.

From now on I'll either lurk or leave.

Well, I mean, my gorgeous mug is on there and I'm in the mood for inspiring girl crushes.

CBonBoard - thanks. I think my siggy pic is pretty rad, too

Yes, because after 9 weeks, all pregnancies are magical, nothing bad happens, and everyone will be farting glitter for the next 10 months.

(Insert gigantic eyeroll here). OP, next time someone else's tragedy is getting you down, please slink away quietly, mmmmmkay? Would you say "OH MY GOD THAT GUY SHOT UP SOME PEOPLE IN CRETE, NEBRASKA TODAY IN AN ACT OF WORKPLACE VIOLENCE! I'M GOING TO TAKE 3 WEEKS OFF OF WORK SO I DON'T HAVE TO THINK ABOUT IT!!!" or "Geez, I wish they'd stop putting on those commercials asking for money to feed the starving African children. Their gigantically bloated bellies just make me SO>VERY>SAD."

Seriously, next time you decide to be obliviously self-centered, just do so without a broad, attention-whoring announcement, mmmmmmkay?

Way to be supportive, yay!

ETA: Faces of Loss is an amazing website.

Wow. That site is very touching.

kdelap · September 2010

I agree too, I know its hard to read about others going through a hard time, and I am scared every day for it to happen again, but support was the best thing for me. Good luck to everyone, right now is one of the hardest times of the pregnancy ( I think). We just need tobe there for each other and help support each other the best we can.

Zed58 · September 2010

OP...you suck. We will not be friends.....ever!

You're turning your back on those who need it most is bringing me down. Peace out to you.
