Really, with the meanness accusations? Good grief.
If I say something crazy, would I rather a bunch of internet strangers tell me I'm being nuts with hilarious gifs and videos, or would I rather they say, "Oh, that is interesting," spare my feelings, and leave me to repeat the crazy thought to someone in real life, face to face, that I might actually have to see again?
I found it funny...my husband got a laugh out of it too...But that doesn't mean that I don't tell my husband the baby told me he wanted a chocolate mint milkshake, because sometimes, the baby does have specific requests...;)
However, I am pretty sure you all didn't have to be so sarcastic, condescending and rude back to me. Maybe I am being sensitive, but oh well Wish I could delete...
I agree, I don't think people should be rude. It is easy enough to say 'hey, this isn't likely...'.

It's not unlikely it's impossible.

Note to self: Yeah.... so as a FTM I had a momentary lapse of judgement and didn't think about all the "science" behind it when I was posting earlier. However, I am pretty sure you all didn't have to be so sarcastic, condescending and rude back to me. Maybe I am being sensitive, but oh well Wish I could delete...
Oh honey, seriously?? You're on TB. Snark and sarcasm are the official languages of these boards, and should be expected.
Perhaps BabyGaga is better suited to your need for puppies and rainbows.
I agree, I don't think people should be rude. It is easy enough to say 'hey, this isn't likely...'.
as snmetz said, it's not that it's unlikely, it's that it is an utter medical impossibility due to the absence of air in the uterus. in no way, shape or form could this ever happen, EVER. and furthermore, it begs for heavy mockery.
if someone came here and said "i could swear pregnancy has caused me to start sprouting french fries from my scalp instead of hair" nobody would say "hey, this isn't likely..."
Eta: the update. OP Your feelings shouldn't be hurt cause it wasn't a comment anyone could actually take seriously. If you posted something and you needed support, I think the board has shown many times over how we hand that out with care and sincerity.. But this... Come on. See where we are coming from? Science.

Again...who are these random people!?!? If any of them actually participated in our board they wouldn't be shocked by these responses. [-(
I meeean... I participate very regularly, and though I'm not surprised by some of the responses, I am, however, like, "Dang... Can't this chick catch a break?" I don't think anyone was rude necessarily, but I think she was ridiculed. Yes, it was a pretty ridiculous question, one out of a million that should definitely be Googled first instead of being asked here, but we all have our moments. I was about 18 or so before my cousin had to explain to me that airbags deploy on impact and NOT when your head meets the steering wheel. I seriously thought that. /:) He laughed at me and was like, "What would it help if your head had to hit it before it came out!?!" but he didn't think I was an idiot thankfully. lol

@KatieGummow at our spelling bee in the 5th grade my word was Route. They even gave an example like Route 66. I totally choked and spelled it "rought" that's not even a real word!!!! "> )

Someone asked me the last time I was home in Atlanta, "What county is Iceland in?" Nope, not a misspell. They asked what COUNTY, like within the state of Georgia. This person was well over 40. That, and my all time favorite, "Iceland, don't we own them?" I've heard that more than once! People say stupid shit all the time.
I just wanna say... I was 15 with my first baby and I never once thought this.. Your a grown women, don't ask a question that you know darn good and well is IMPOSSIBLE. People aren't being rude, it's called sarcasm. Also your on a Internet forum what did you expect to hear?
I just had to Google England, literally had no idea it was an island. I've traveled abroad, and attended grade school. I should know this stuff!
Don't worry, most Americans are like that. Most people (thinking English people here, not sure about Americans....) don't realise New Zealand is an island as well - they assume we are attached to Australia (like mexico I guess!)

I always thought hippos were sweet, mellow animals until I found out that they kill people in Africa pretty frequently. I didn't learn that until I was in my twenties.
I wish my baby would moan. It is his singing of I am Henry the VIII at 3:00 am that I find quite shocking. I think I have watched the movie Ghost too many times this pregnancy.
I'm not above giving people the benefit of the doubt over ridiculous thoughts. If this had been said in person, OP would have definitely gotten a side eye until she realized how ridiculous it sounded. When you're on the Internet and you can type out a thought, it's a little different. It's not opening your mouth and speaking before you realize how silly it was.
Holy hell 4 pages later and we're still beating this dead horse?!
Someone start a flu shot thread, please. Dayum
I feel like marijuana would be more effective. I got the flu shot a couple years and still got the flu. So I just smoke pot now and I haven't gotten the flu yet.
I guess some view people saying off the wall things as being more taboo/crazy/horrible than smoking pot while pregnant? I must have somehow missed the pot while pregnant thread. That sounds like a gem.

Option number one sounds WAY better to me.

Same goes for respect.
