Whenever people ask me if this is my first, I always say that we have four angel babies and hopefully this will be our first take home baby. It's just my automatic reply and I wouldn't feel right saying it's my first because I don't feel that way.
Anyway, a lady at the store asked me today if this was my first and I said what I always do and she got really mad. She told me I shouldn't talk about my losses. She told me that she is 9 weeks pregnant and it makes her nervous and sad to hear about others losses. Really? Well I'm so sorry for making YOU nervous. I will just pretend like my four babies that I lost never exsisted so you can be a comfortable FH! Errrr!

My life has a superb cast but I can't figure out the plot.
Oh she was just a doll.
I just told her that she couldn't catch a m/c and that I wasn't going to ignore my 4 angels just to make her feel better. And that I hoped she had a very healthy nine months and I walked away.
I just don't understand how self absorbed people can be!
Good answer! What a twatwaffle!
Haha, awesomeness!

Agreed! I'm still struggling with that answer. If it's someone I know, they know it's not my first. It's all the strangers that ask questions. I seem to be sticking to "hopefully our first living child."

Oh, you should see a thread on the December BMB right now talking about snark. Apparently, the consensus is that women who have three or four posts and then post that they are miscarrying are offensive. "It just makes us nervous." Um, miscarriage is not contagious, you asshats. Sorry it's so difficult for you to cope with something happening to someone else, and that you have such in inability to show any amount of empathy.
OP - I'm so sorry you were faced with such blatant rudeness and hostility. You certainly performed with grace under pressure with that response of yours, though!
