Grrr... some people (mini vent)

in Trying to Get Pregnant

At work today I was in a room with someone who was talking about her new  as she said "pain in the a** problem".  She is 4 months pregnant with her 5th child. She is now telling everyone now because she can't lift patients. She said " I can't afford the kids I already have and I only wanted 2. I just can't stop getting pregnant". She went on for about 5 minutes about how she would have been ok if she lost the baby.  Are you kidding me woman is all I thought!!

 I wasn't able to walk away because we were waiting for a meeting to start and there were about 10 of us in the room. I was stuck  sitting in the middle of the table and couldn't get out of the room easily. I just can't believe someone would talk like that. It took everything out of me not to have a mixture of emotions or confront her on this. Luckily the meeting started about 3 minutes after this happened. Not a single person in the room (all woman) could even say anything to her.

What would you ladies have done in this situation? Should I talk to her about this ( I am a social worker so this may be the social worker in me speaking not a hurt human being)? We are not close at all, just work together.

    Wow, that's terrible.  I would probably say "Well you know if you don't want your baby I'm sure there are plenty of families that would love to adopt from you."  I don't speak up on everything, but crap like that really ticks me off.

    I would pull her aside and ask her if she would not say things like that.  For all she knows, any one of you could have just lost a baby or have problems TTC.  It is completley insensitive.

    I don't think I would've been able to hold my tongue.  That was completely insensitive.  Sorry you have to deal with her.

    Good answer!! I'd mention the above and throw in an adoption plug. You don't have to be 16 & pregnant to place your baby for adoption.
