Very happy and feeling blessed

in March 2015 Moms
Been for 20 wk scan today and all is well. Just feel so very blessed as I know that there are many others who have not been so lucky as me. Just starting to feel movements too. There are few times one gets to feel as lucky as this and plan to savour every minute. Thank you for listening to my waffle

    I am so sorry I don't want to make anyone feel bad. I suffered a loss too so while we all felt it different I do know how much it hurts.

    Lesson to self think first before post. Clearly a wrong word. I am certainly not religious in any way and had no intention to cause offence. Was a good day for which there haven't been so many of late wanted only to share.

    Where did she mention God...? Easy on the trigger there people.


    Still in poor taste, OP.

    Most people are reacting to the 'blessed' part, which is religious

    The denotation is religious but connotation here wasn't. I've just noticed on the boards people are very quick to make false statements pertaining to god and religion whenever they get the chance.

    What false statements about god or religion were made here? Who is to say what is false regarding that or not anyhow? Sorry, your wording is confusing me.

    Sorry, I've been at class all day and having a hard time trying to write out what I mean. I just hate that it always goes to that place "oh well god must be so happy about -insert terrible thing here-" and I hate that anyone thinks or says that because it's not true. I'm trying to refrain from inserting too much of my beliefs in here, it's hard sometimes. I might be out of line.

    I think people who do that are using sarcasm because it isn't true. Like "people must love breaking thier legs, seems comfy".

    This gets to me because my anatomy scan with my last pregnancy showed a baby boy with a missing left hand . And for this reason I'm nervous about my anatomy scan Thursday.

    Less than perfect anatomy scan, but perfect little boy to me

    Well, what you say assumes I believe in your god, or any god, and that whether I do or don't, that it is an absolute truth god doesn't condone some evil things. You can't put that, your opinion, as fact.

    But we don't need to have a religious debate. The point is, it is hurtful when people suggest god had a reason for someone having a loss, or a person isn't blessed if something goes wrong or they lose a child or what have you. That is an upsetting suggestion, for religious and non-religious people alike.

    I really want to make a clever waffle joke, but I'm so tired and slow today that I can't even figure out what we're sneakily referencing as our waffles. *gross sobbing*

    I'm sure OP didn't mean to offend, and she's just excited about being pregnant, and have a good appointment. She just didn't word her post very well.

    Obviously we all have different experiences with pregnancy, and TTC. Some have suffered losses, and some haven't. Some have never been this far along before, and reaching milestones is a very big deal. Some people feel very lucky, fortunate, thankful, grateful, or some might say blessed to be pregnant. I also know people who did not plan their pregnancy, were miserable the entire time, and shrugged off congratulations as if to say "whatever" or "yea right." Talk about rubbing me (with my fertility issues) the wrong way. I personally don't think saying you feel blessed is a bad or controversial thing and I am not the most religious person.

    But I think OP has made it clear that she didn't mean to offend.

    Being a religious person, the "blessed" part doesn't bother me. That's just me though. Everyone has the right to their feelings regarding that point.
    As a previous loss mommy, and a mommy with a child who is not "typically developing" this post did come across as inconsiderate
    Kudos to OP for apologizing for that.

    As far as the "blessed" debate goes, who else is responsible for blessing someone other than God or religious officials in some belief systems? I would be willing to consider the idea that it's not inherently religious if I could think of even one other person or entity who is responsible for blessings. (Even "bless you" was originally "God bless you.")

    No one is arguing the denotation of the word being religious.

    I always feel embarrassed when my waffle makes noises. They say it's normal but I don't care.
