So me and SO and Teagen ran out to walmart a while ago and while Teagen is still small she looks like a normal 2 month old baby instead of a 4 month old well the cashier was asking the basic questions...Whats her name, how old, and when she asked if she was early I said "Yes 7 weeks early" and she stopped ringing up my stuff and just look flabbergasted (sp) then she asked why and I told her I had pre-e and what came out of her mouth I could not even believe
"Oh my goodness you mustve felt awful for doing that to an innocent baby, I mean I know its an infection but really you could've prevented it and the baby wouldn't have had to go through all you put her through"
I did not even know what to say.
Re: I was speechless
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I canNOT believe that.
This. Unless she somehow thought pre-e was an STD in which case I roll my eyes at her ignorance.
What did you say?
Our precious girl, born at 27 weeks.
People are so ignorant! I would have seriously had to consider a throat punch for sure....
I am so sorry you had to deal with that.
I probably would have said, "Me preventing Pre-E is like you preventing your own stupidity."
I know...I think it is with a lot of us. I'm sure you know it isn't, but I'm going to tell you again because it never hurts - it wasn't your fault ::hugs::
I think I would have had the same reaction you had - speechless. If I collected myself enough I probably would have told her she clearly had no understanding of pre-e since there is nothing you can do to prevent it.
I mean, she's clearly a nutjob since she those words actually left her mouth and she thought pre-e is an infection.
WHAT???
Some people should not ever TALK!
Sorry you had to deal with that.
whoa.
