We share the puppy responsibilities, as I'm the one that wanted to get one. Plus I enjoy getting off my butt and walking/getting outside. Helps me stay active and feeling good. This morning I made a poor judgement call, yes. I'm not one of those people who changes how I live just because I'm pregnant. If it's cold outside, I just dress warmer.
Um... really?? I already showed my sympathetic side, but I am hoping that you do change how you live to some extent because it's more than "just being pregnant"... especially this late in the game. I am totally behind still being active or whatnot, but you really should change how you live if your actions could be potentially dangerous to your child. I mean, I love to go ride my motorcycle... but you don't see me on the road anymore. Nor would I be on a rollercoaster, in a hot tub (for extended amounts of time), or ice skating.
temps for the past two days have been like -20 so I figured it was pretty solid). I heard a crack, so I quickly headed back to the shore (I wasn't far out), when the ice broke and I fell through. The water was about chest-deep, and I couldn't get out as the ice kept breaking around me when I tried to climb out. With all my winter clothes, they were pretty heavy as well so it wasn't easy to pull myself out. Eventually I did, and luckily I wasn't too far from home. My pants/boots were frozen to my body when I got in the door. hope the baby is ok, as she was certainly submerged.
I'm not really sure how long I was in there for. Felt like forever but probably wasn't more then a minute or two??Then the walk home was maybe like 5-10 mins?? I ripped off the clothes at the front door and my whole body was bright red.
Spoke with the doc. She thinks it should be fine. Baby is still active and I took my temp and it's normal. I never got so cold I was shaking or anything, I got home and warmed up fast. She said to call back if I have any bleeding/gush of fluid/contractions and she'll check in on me in a few hours to make sure I'm ok.
You were submerged in ice water up to your chest for approximately 2 minutes with a 5-10 minute walk home in temps reaching below 20 and you didn't even shiver?
I call bullshit.
Andplusalso. DIDN'T YOU WATCH RESCUE 911 GROWING UP?? YOU NEVER WALK ON ICE WATER, YOU ALWAYS FALL THROUGH.
I'm just confused how at one point she says that the water is chest deep, then the next she's saying "oh, I wasn't far enough from shore to even tell that I was over water".
I, too, was wondering how it was possible to not be shivering... I mean, seriously. I shiver walking to my car in this weather, and I'm not wet up to my tits in freezing cold water!
I would have been screaming for help, crying, hyperventilating, and seeing my life flash before my eyes if this happened. If I managed to pull myself out of the water I would be so fucking traumatized and shaken up Id call 911 right there, I would not be able to just pick up and take a 10 minute walk back home with my dog.
I agree something here is not adding up but if it is true for the love of god please go get hooked up to a monitor and make sure your baby is all right!! I don't care if you think you're fine, it's about your baby!!

You just don't understand, she doesn't let pregnancy change her life. You know, because she's above life changing things n stuff. The rest of us are dumb or slackers for being physically limited.
And she's like in Canada. I know not all of Canada is the same but like I feel like ice safety is one of those core things that just like gets taught from a young age. I mean it does in the midwest and northeast so....I feel like that's not an asinine assumption for me to make.
Maybe she didn't fall into a pond maybe it was a deep puddle and her brain like exaggerated the circumstances or something?
I mean the other thing that doesn't make sense is that it's not like this chick has a history of posting batshit crazy stuff. I mean generally a lot of her participation does stem from her own threads that she starts but she does do a semi decent level of participating and not being crazy (I mean I'd argue that my posting history suggests a higher prevalence of crazy) so it's all just so weird.
Usually with stuff like this there's some sort of weird feeling you get from people from the get go.
Trust me, as someone who grew up close to Canada, ice safety was well known and taught. Our ice would get thick enough for trucks to drive on, but I've always been leery of the stuff. You can't tell just by looking at ice how frozen it is. Every northerner knows that.
I, also, can only imagine what the fuck my doctor and husband would say to me if they knew I was walking alone on ice at nearly 8 months pregnant. Who walks their dog on ice anyway? My dog will only shit in grass or leaves. Her poor paws would fucking freeze if I made her walk on ice
Idk I just hope its not me being over-analytical but it seems somewhat coincidental how much reaction she got in her couch/chair post that she might be calling attention to herself with this post, which IMO with what has seriously been going on is straight up pathetic.
+1 times a bazillion.
ETA: Not to mention the "OMG I disappeared but look at me I got a puppy while I was gone!" thread...
Nooo, there was a girl on June '14 who got called out for her crazy bullshit stories and she vanished into thin air when she found out she was caught.
She came back, to December '14 with more bullshit stories and got caught again. As far as I know she hasn't been back since, but I watch for her crazy ass all the time. I miss her.
I think winter water/ice safety is something they teach wherever it gets remotely cold. 75%of the time around here (RI) it's not cold enough to go out on the ice. And still it's always marked by the fire department 'safe or unsafe' and people fucking pay attention to that shit.
I'm no white knight, but I'm guessing this is more of an extreme exaggeration rather than a true lie. Like, I was walking my dog by the edge of a pond and I didn't realize I was over water, and then my foot fell through and my leg got wet, and it was hard to pull out and then I was wet and cold, and it FELT like it was -20 out, and then I got home and it was fine. But the story just gets a little more exaggerated in the telling, you know?

I believe this could definitely be the case and I sure hope so. Cause I severely question the logic of someone who's fetus was submerged in freezing cold water and they just walked back home whistling and twiddling their thumbs.
J13's liar got banned because credit card fraud but she still kept in contact and communicates with J13 members (who believe that the whole thing is a giant conspiracy that people some how managed to convince amazon and visa to be a part of) - now there's one that I definitely wish the whole 'they come back' thing was wrong about.
I mean this chick lied about being in Volvo commercials she lied about other people not being able to come to meet ups that she never told them about.....and that's just some of the stuff we could prove....but she was always off. Like bad feeling about this chick from moment one. Other people's radars didn't go off but mine did immediately (a TBI doesn't just randomly manifest only when you talk about it).
I follow the J14 liar on Pinterest lol.
And yeah, I know who you're talking about from J13 and all I have to say about that is WTF and how did people's alarms not start ringing sooner? And also a WTF to the person who STILL believes her. I thought she was smarter than that.

Okay. But even when we go through something we have exaggerated in our own heads to be worse than it was, taking the time to type it out online and sort out 'the facts' would help to realize maybe we don't need to post. And certainly not its own thread titled 'Terrifying Experience.' It's just insulting.

Heehee I was just telling some friends that I haven't come up with such a stupid outlandish lie for attention since Freshman year in High School. I claimed I was an Indian Princess.

Ok now I am disappointed in you.
EDITED TO WTF THE QUOTE BOX
Well, I generally try to avoid her because she acts like an asshole, so what I've seen is few and far between enough that the snippets I got led me to believe she was semi intelligent.
Wow just came back to read this after having my bro come by this afternoon to make sure I was alright. And didn't expect to be called a liar.....an idiot yes. I deserve that. In terms if the details......I don't know how long I was submerged. When things like that happen it seems like an eternity...it all happens so fast yet so slow at the same time. So time frames may be totally inaccurate. It was just my perception of it.....the water level was deduced by looking at where the water line came up to on my jacket and sweater once I examined them later on. Honestly the actual incident is a bit of a blur so I just wrote what it felt like at the time. I wanted to go back to the scene with my brother to take pictures and show him, but we decided it was best to stay indoors today.
Am I stupid for walking on ice?? Yes. But I honestly saw guys playing hockey out a nearby pond last week, so figured it was good and frozen by now. Especially after the recent deep freeze.
I meant I don't live my life differently in terms of locking myself at home in a padded room and not doing anything because I'm pregnant. I can still walk a dog, do normal activities, ect. Yes, I've cut out alcohol and hot tubs and skiing and *most* high risk activities. I really don't know what I was thinking walking on ice. I've been skating on ponds plenty as a kid, so I guess I just didn't think anything of it. Sounds pretty stupid of me looking back because of falling hazards and slipping and such, but I really wasn't thinking. But then it's not like falling through ice while alone is something I try and do on a regular basis when not pregnant either. It's stupid and careless regardless of being pregnant or not.
So think what you will about me. My doctor didn't seem overly concerned when she asked me various questions, and after removing my wet clothes and sitting by the fire I felt ok. I was probably shivering....But I meant convulsing uncontrollably like people do when they get hypothermia.
Didn't call 911 because I didn't have a phone on me and if I did, it would have been wet. The only thought going through my mind was that I needed to get home asap. Why would I call 911 after arriving at home unless I felt that I needed immediate help ?? The first thing I did was curl up by the fire with a blanket and grab my phone to text work that I wasn't coming, and then posted here.
People in Toronto do polar dips in the lake in jan every year. Not pregnant I'm sure, but as long as you get warm quickly then I didn't think there was any immediate risk. Posted on here and fb right away because I was alone and freaking out and wanted ppl to talk to as comfort. I dunno what else to say.

Without even trying to argue each point here, you have to admit this sounds ridiculous. Even if it was a blur, please tell me you realize how insane this sounds all typed out.
This was the "puddle" and the blue dot is my house. So ok not a 10 min walk for sure...but sure felt like it when I had to walk in wet clothes, get the dog, open the garage door, ect....
