The bump is not a diary. We do not need to hear every single thing that pops into your head, nor do we need to hear all the mundane and completely irrelevant details of your life. So many posts lately are about the most stupid and trivial things and its annoying.

YES! I'd also like to add that Facebook is not your diary either. FFS people!

Ohh that and people who get upset over what strangers say on the internet. Get over it ladies. You will probably NEVER meet these people nor do they have any weighing on your life whatsoever. I've come to admire a lot of people on here, but they aren't my BFFs.

Just ignore me and go about your day.

Two not so unpopular opinions. LOL.

I completely agree with you both!

The further into this pregnancy I get, the more I judge people for being "lazy." I know it's self-righteous, but my inner dialogue goes something like this... "Really? I'm 30 weeks pregnant, working full time, caring for my 2 year old, taking 2 graduate courses, and running/exercising several times per week... You couldn't fit ____ into your schedule?" (Usually the blank is something that would take a fairly trivial amount of time, and this often comes after somebody bitching about they're too busy or too tired to get something done. This definitely applies to people who "don't have time to exercise or be in some way active -- at all... ever... --- but they can tell you the Thursday night NBC lineup from start to finish and have at least 2 shows that they just HAVE TO see each night of the week.)

Vent over.

I think women are far too judgmental of other women who bring up the topic of a scheduled induction.

burgergirl13 · October 2012

If you think you should ask your doctor, ask your Flucking doctor. We are not doctors ladies, and use some common sense!!

jsoubel · October 2012

Pregnancy photos are a self-indulgent, waste of money. Plus, they aren't cute. P.s. no one wants to see them, either.

SingleMom31 · October 2012

You don't need daily updates of how our baby is doing... It's nice that you're curious and concerned, but asking for details beyond "We're doing fine, thanks for asking" EVERY DAY is unnecessary. Likewise, if I haven't emailed you with all of the latest pregnancy related details lately, please don't act like you've been adversely affected by it.

AliceMM · October 2012

I know it's early for our birth month board but I HATE posts about taking castor oil. You take vitamins for nine months, eat right, exercise, then at the last minute try and make yourself so sick that the baby comes out? I just don't get it!

marypnix · October 2012

I think it's selfish to not try (I mean really try) to breastfeed. It is the best gift for your baby and though it can be difficult it is important.

I was fortunate enough to breastfeed my two other babies. It was not always easy (mastasis, thrush, milk protein intolerance, pumping, cracked bleeding nipples oh the list goes on) but they got the best start possible.

Everyone's pregnancy is different. They might not have as easy of a pregnancy as you do. And NOT all pregnant people can work out. I am not allowed to work out, due to complications and I truly am tired. I work a full time job but I know my pregnancy isn't the same as anyone elses and I don't judge them based off that.

This exactly. It sounds like we are in the same boat except I have a 4 year old and am only taking 1 grad class. And I commute 50 min each way to work. My husband works from home and I just lost it on him this morning- he told me that he couldn't take 20 minutes out of his day to walk the dogs so they weren't jumping all over me when I got home from work- Really? Then how can I manage to get up at 6, make the daily commute, get our daughter to daycare, attend her school functions, grocery shop on my lunch break, clean the house at night and still make time for myself, family and friends.

Ok- that was a much needed vent. Thanks.

I dont really care how much "lazy" people exercise or watch tv. Doesn't really affect me, so why worry about it?

Doesn't mean you have to agree with her.

Soooo, what you're saying is my child did NOT get the best possible start because I chose not to bf? hhhmmm? ok... rude, but ok. I will have you know that my child (knock on wood) is NEVER sick. All my friends bf and their kids have ear infections regularly, colds, flus, and even RSV... mine none of this. So you may have your opinion, but formula DID NOT screw up my daughter.

Exactly... this is why I kinda checked out of the bump for a while. I got bored with the constant posts of every stupid thing that popped into the girls mind. Barf...

Yup, my DD was formula fed, she was always in the right percentile, never under, never over, she was never sick as an infant, didn't get her first ear infection until she was 3... (knock on wood).

Can we please stop w/the post that start off with "Am I overreacting?" "Maybe it's my hormones?" In both cases the answer will ALWAYS be YES.

If you are posting to ask if you are overreacting to the fact that your step-brother's 2nd cousin can't make it to the baby shower because they are in jail then the answer is YES.

if you are asking if wanting to punch the skinny azzed little witch in the face because she gave you the side eye, YES it's your HORMONES. It will always be your hormones!

Just going to add.

If you clearly have a guilty conscience and feel the need to ask if a post is about you, then yes, chances are it is (or at the very least you are one of a few or many).

Also if you ask a question and it gets answered truthfully by the person responding, don't get pissed off, you asked the question. Ask and you shall receive.

laura1 · October 2012

This is a very unpopular opinion on the bump and I usually don't say anything, but I have to today. I just don't understand people who have a home birth. Sure probably >90% of the time things go just fine. But what if it didn't? I don't understand how you could knowingly choose to be away from people that could help either you or the baby in the event that something goes terribly wrong. Because when things go wrong, they can go wrong VERY quickly.

I know we all want to give our babies the best start...so giving birth away from a hospital or someone who can resuscitate your baby in the event that the baby comes out depressed is giving your kid the best start? Yes, I know we all want to do what is best for our babies, our families, and ourselves, and people who do choose this truly feel it is right for them. I just don't get it.

And as I said, I know this is a VERY unpopular opinion on here, that is why I posted it in the unpopular opinions thread.

Yup! There are lots of people who have legitimate health issues (pregnancy included) that really do make it difficult or impossible to exercise. This rant does not apply to those situations. And it wasn't JUST about exercise -- it's the phone calls that don't get made, the projects that don't get finished, the errands that don't get run, etc, because of these people's "busy lives."

My UO is that I don't like moms like these.

Yes, I BF my daughter. I hope to BF this one. However, it's opinions like these that keep perpetuating the "mommy guilt cycle" and the "I'm a better mom than you" cycle." Back the eff off. Some moms feel terrible that they can't BF and don't need women like you bashing them. Everyone knows that breastmilk is better. No need to persecute those who can't.

*AHEM*

There is nothing wrong with a low-risk pregnancy ending with a mother having birth at home, where she is comfortable. There is also nothing wrong with a woman choosing to have birth in a hospital. And there is nothing wrong with someone deciding to not get an epidural OR deciding to get an epidural.

I think it's much sadder when people are on their high horse about people who decide to do something differently.

I totally agree. Every mom should have the birth they want. I just get sick of hearing on TB about moms who FF, get epidurals, and give birth in hospitals are all not as "worthy" as moms who do otherwise.

Ah. I've never really heard that. I was under the assumption that most people had hospital/birth center births on TB.

I do hear the BF/FF debate a lot. It's really irritating that people think they have the right to judge others based on things like this.

I think the key word in Magnolia's post was "TRY." There's a difference between being unable to BF, and being unwilling to try it. My best friend was unsuccessful at BFing, and I gave her all the support in the world. She's going to try again with #2, and I'm supporting that, too! It's the one's that just say "it's not for me" and have no real reasoning that baffle me!

The further into this pregnancy I get, the more I judge people for being "lazy." I know it's self-righteous, but my inner dialogue goes something like this... "Really? I'm 30 weeks pregnant, working full time, caring for my 2 year old, taking 2 graduate courses, and running/exercising several times per week... You couldn't fit ____ into your schedule?" (Usually the blank is something that would take a fairly trivial amount of time, and this often comes after somebody bitching about they're too busy or too tired to get something done. This definitely applies to people who "don't have time to exercise or be in some way active -- at all... ever... --- but they can tell you the Thursday night NBC lineup from start to finish and have at least 2 shows that they just HAVE TO see each night of the week.)

Yup! There are lots of people who have legitimate health issues (pregnancy included) that really do make it difficult or impossible to exercise. This rant does not apply to those situations. And it wasn't JUST about exercise -- it's the phone calls that don't get made, the projects that don't get finished, the errands that don't get run, etc, because of these people's "busy lives."

I agree and unfortunetly I know way too many of those and I wish I could delete them off my news feed on FB but they are family. ::sigh::
