Why do I lurk on my BMB? Always a mistake...

BeautyfromAshes · July 2011

Does anyone else lurk on their would be birth month board? I still check in on the November mommies, one, because I like to see how they are progressing, and two, maybe I enjoy pain. I don't know. It always ends up making me feel badly.

Today I checked in and read one mom posting about her "crappy appointment" saying she had gained 6 pounds and was having Braxton Hicks. Boo freakin Hoo. At least your baby is still in there and alive and you won't be giving birth to a dead child, so stop your whining. Don't tell me you've had a "Crappy Appointment" until you've had one where the doctor comes in to tell you your baby has passed away in the womb and you would need to deliver her tomorrow.

Okay, I just needed to vent. I hope I don't sound like a horribly bitter woman, I'm just sad. And of course a teeny, weeny bit bitter too.

Granted my BMB is just this March 2012, but I can't quit checking it. It's almost starting to feel like when I rushed for a sorority, didn't get chosen and now I'm looking in on everything. I'm jealous of them with their happy ultrasounds

Yep...I posted a few days ago that I checked in my BMB, and everyone's finding out the sex of their baby. Really bugged the s**t outta me. Gotta stop doing that.

I haven't done it in awhile, partly because they are all finding out the sex and I can't deal. I now lurk on the BMB I want to be on next, which is probably worse!

I don't even have to lurk...I live it. It's one of my lovely duties to keep a list of due dates for the women who are expecting at my church. I just added two who are days from what mine would have been. One lives behind me and one is a new neighbor. I watch them almost daily. It's my own private birth month board. I feel for you! It pretty much sucks.

I did yesterday...it hurt like hell to see people planning their nursery (December 2011)....

I think I'm a few days away from CD1 despite a really great effort this cycle. Maybe I'll start temping this cycle. I am already starting my mantra, "I didn't really want an April baby anyway....that would have been stressful with the semester not ending until May." Even though I'd love a baby at any month.

Ugghh.... I do a daily lurk on the November board as well. (

The greatest was last weeks HDBD. I cried for an hour after seeing it. But yes, it does infuriate me to see people on their complain about their swollen legs, food cravings, weight gains, heat adversions, and doc visits. I would kill to have these things back...

I try to pretend that the February 2012 board isn't there... i have also gone on FB and hid all my pg friends until i will be able to cope a little better. I would be really upset if i saw a post about a "crappy appointment" or even saying they don't like being pg. So many of us would give anything to still be in their position. I'm so sorry that the board is upsetting you. Is there a way you can block it? I am new to the site so i have no idea how to navigate around it yet.

I got annoyed when girls on my BMB were posting their gender results and saying they were upset about it. I am sorry, but if I actually made it past 11 weeks I would be thrilled.

First off i am VERY sorry for your loss... it is hard i know I have been there 3 times

I know venting makes you feel better not as much as you want but better.. i do however have a bit of a problem with your vent.. not to be rude but she was posting on her board where moms who are expecting can post and share frustrations and how they feel just like this one is here for us.. She never complained to you about these problems. I don't think she intended it for you to see. I am sorry but maybe it is a bit unhealthy for you to be reading posts on that board.. obviously it just makes you more sad.. just stick to this board where people who are going through the same thing can help you along with the grieving process going on the board is just going to prolong it..<3
