So in other words... my opinion is not as good as all of yours because it differs from yours. Your personal opinion of doing those things does not affect my baby, so whatever. Your actions equal your consequences. I don't care if my OB told me I could smoke crack during pregnancy... it doesnt mean I would. I shouldn't be attacked because I am wanting the best for my child. Sorry for not validating your decisions. And seriously? Is 9 months really that long to give up a few things? Geesh... people.
You are completely entitled to your opinions. But for you to say someone else who choses to do some of these things (which are in fact safe because ummm SCIENCE) doesn't love their baby as much as you love yours is extremely offensive and rude. You could have completely left that part out and I'm sure no one would have jumped your case about not drinking while pregnant.

The majority of women change their lifestyles on this board(the random MUD stating otherwise happens). Calling everyone selfish and stupid does not win you favor and makes you look both of those things by being so judgmental. Your opinion is that you don't think women should do these things, okay I accept that. Condemning everyone for medicine science/doctor approved choices and calling them stupid and selfish, I do not accept. Who are you to judge my decision to enjoy a Dr. Pepper? That Dr. Pepper doesn't harm my baby, it causes a dance party and I enjoy feeling him/her moving around. I want the best for my child and will continue to change my lifestyle past 40 weeks to make sure my child has a safe and healthy life. Here is my judgement on you, you will not make friends at the PTA because you think you are holier than thou and your child will never do wrong.

That high and mighty twat made me want a glass of wine.
I hear that! She pissed me right the fuck off with her second post!
ETA: instead I poured myself another glass of sweet tea
Careful! Stress is really bad for the baby. You must be selfish and love your child less than I love mine. You are obviously an awful mother and probably a bad person too. I will pray for your husband and your children.
D14 November Siggy Challenge: The feels of 3rd trimester...
The first pregnancy I obstained from all of the things that @MegsTactical did. My reasoning was even if it was OK I was paranoid and if something went wrong I didn't want to question my choices. The difference is I didn't judge others or think that I was better then they were or would have a healthier baby. I knew it was my own paranoia.
I've learned now that I can't live my parenting existence in that state of paranoia, because once the baby is outside of your protective womb shit gets real. You can't control everything so you might as well pull the stick out of your ass right now.
I have a half a cup of caffeinated coffee a day and I have a healthy (easier) pregnancy this time.
You'll be the mom judging another mother for feeding her 2 year old a donut, it's not going to make you very popular on the playground.
Mags tactical, it's not that your opinion is different that offended more than a couple of people, it was the implication that if one doesn't adhere to your nonscientific belief, one does not care about their baby.
Good Rule of thumb....if I offend more than one or two people by something I've said, I should take a closer look at how I'm communicating with others.
@Silas1206 Wow! Some of you can be really rude! Sorry some of you have to be like that. Pretty sad. I understand is a public forum but no one should have to be treated that way because you don't agree with what she asked. All she wanted was a simple discussion on the topic. Get input from other pregnant woman who may have the same thoughts about wine and pregnancy. If the forum doesn't apply to me I move on and don't read or comment. Simple as that. As an OB nurse all the doctors have a different opinion on the matter. Some are more subtle about it. others are strict and some simply advice it once a week if your cramping due to having a long hard day. Wanting to hear out a second opinion is not bad at all. The thought of knowing your not alone about how u feel whether is about breastfeeding epidural wine sex etc is comforting is some way. And for the person who said " what did u want us to say.... my Dr said its fine so u drink up" that's just so inappropriate. Honey sorry what started as innocent question to get feedback turned into u being treated like crap. I'm sure your emotions are already wacked up and u didn't need this especially from strangers. Hope you can determine how u feel about wine and all. And in a polite manner and respectful as I am my best answer to u would be to follow your drs opinion since he is the one caring for u and ur baby. If he says no or yes he has his reasons why and if you picked him as ur dr. And ur happy with his care so far I would respect his wishes. Hope u have a great day and hope this forum of ignorant people didn't ruin your day. ☺

@cely0112 FTR it was me who said "what did you want us to say, my dr said it was fine so drink up"
Please explain to me how that was inappropriate!? Because if you go back and actually read the fucking thread you would see that it fits perfectly for the situation. I hope you fall off your horse on the way out.
Thanks ladies! No worries... I have gotten all of your responses! I appreciate it. I should've responded to @Silas1206 in private after all. This thing is way to childish and silly for me. I have more important and happier things to take care of. If what u wanted from me was to get upset at all your comments and go crazy, sorry i didn't give you that satisfaction. I hope you all have a safe delivery and enjoy your new bundle of joy! Good luck!

Thanks for some reason it cut it off and it didn't post all. Also what's avatar? Is that my picture because I've been trying to add one and It never works.

I would tell you but you implied that this wasn't worth your time.
So troll, WK, etc was a way to make me have a solid understanding??? No apologies. I don't take back what I commented to @Silas1206 I didn't refer to the content of the comments that were given to her as ignorant. What's ignorant is how people were attacking her and making her feel stupid for asking such a thing. Maybe i shouldve been more clear about that. Also I said some people not all of u. Many of u had very informtative valid points. Again this is not for me. Too many different opinions taken the wrong way and as human we all can interpret these comments the wrong way and in the wrong tone. OK goodnight! Off to work out and then get my sleep. I'm a night shifter so gotta get my rest! Again good luck and hope u all have a great experience especially for the first time moms

So when you said "...forum full of ignorant people..." that was supposed to apply to only some of us. Then why didn't you say "some" versus "full of"? Hmmm....seems like you intended the broad statement and now might be back peddling.

Thank u for being so informtative. The way u write truly makes me believe u no what you're talking about and should be trusted!
I never said "you guys are selfish". I said "it would be selfish", meaning it would be selfish of ME. No high horse here, but damn you people read everything as if it were addressed to you personally. It was a freaking personal opinion. Block me (I couldn't care less if you do) or get over it.
I never said you guys are selfish. I said "it would be selfish".. mean in it would be selfish of ME. No high horse here. But damn you people read everything as if it were addressed to you personally. It was a freaking personal opinion. He over it.
Holy back pedaling. Nice try, not gonna fly here though.
It would be selfish and frankly stupid to consume things we should not.
This was the rest of that sentence from your original post.... Correct me if I'm wrong but I'm pretty sure you used the word WE in that sentence, implying not just you.
I would NEVER drink while pregnant. No alcohol, no caffeine, no artificial sweeteners, etc. Why? Because I care about my baby. I care about giving her the best chance at a healthy life I can give her. It would be selfish and frankly stupid to consume things we should not. 9 months is not that long of a sacrifice.
So in other words... my opinion is not as good as all of yours because it differs from yours. Your personal opinion of doing those things does not affect my baby, so whatever.

I have kindly quoted for you the things you previously said and even bolded the particulartly snobby things. I'm pretty certain none of those statements you made were meant to be addressed to just yourself. I'm not 100% certain of the Webster's definition of "high horse" but I am pretty certain you're riding it.
D14 November Siggy Challenge: The feels of 3rd trimester...
What's funny is that I posted about having a glass of wine early in the 2nd trimester... And I didn't get even half the amount of pearl clutching as this post. Shit.
And of course you gals get the quotes out more quickly since I had to program all the italics and bold in HTML (why, oh why do you not have a WYSIWYG interface, mobile!)

If she wanted input there is a search function that can be used to see our previous discussions on this topic.
At this point, I see your post as an attempt to stir up drama and nothing more.
Please explain to me how that was inappropriate!? Because if you go back and actually read the fucking thread you would see that it fits perfectly for the situation. I hope you fall off your horse on the way out.
Besides a smart person would agree that it is too obvious to come back so soon.
If you are going to WK and stick around to love tit our responses....why not actually have a follow up response?
Edit: And really what was the purpose of changing your avatar? We know it's you.
