Okay, I'm horrible for saying this but my biggest UO is women who have been pg multiple times with out any issues whatsoever and tell me that they are "terrified" during the 1st trimester.
I'm sure it's because I've gone through so much and I'm jaded because every pg *is* terrifying for me.
I sometimes want to say, Have you had bleeding? Have you had cramps so bad you went to the ER? Then why on earth are you scared?
I also can't stand people who say "Ooops, we're knocked up", or claim to be a "fertile myrtle" or who say "if my husband looks at me, I'm pg *giggle*". Also, people who either brag about how fast their delivery was or who complain night and day about how "hard it is to be pg".
Yes M/S sucks big time, yes it's hard to work and be pg, yes it's hard to be a mom and be pg and take care of kids and the house, etc. The way I see it though, if you want a child, you would be willing to do whatever it takes to get them here safe and sound. Being pg shouldn't be used as a sympathy card.
I am miserable today so I could go on for days about UOs but I will keep it short.
I hate when people say not to tell someone you are pregnant because they "can't handle that kind of news right now". I'm sorry if my pregnancy has put a damper on your life but clearly you mean something to me and clearly this pregnancy does too!!

Girl, I feel ya! Everyone has been so awesome and supportive, but since I have had of multiple losses my mother has asked me not to tell my grandparents (her parents, the other side of the family knows) because she doesn't think they would be able to handle any potential bad news despite the fact that this has been the healthiest pregnancy I have had and we already saw the heartbeat on an early scan. I wanted to freak out on her! Thanks for the positivity, Mom. Makes me feel great. Lord.
Another uo: I hate when people post that someone else rained on their parade, stole their thunder, blahblah. If you're announcing you're expecting and someone close to you is too why wouldn't you be over the moon excited? We're not 5yrs old and mad someone else had a birthday party the same day as ours. Sheesh
This is more of a personal thing and I honestly see why some people do it ... But I get really annoyed when people post that they heard the heartbeat at 8-10 weeks. Not only does it make me personally anxious because I still can't hear my baby's heartbeat on a Doppler but I see that it also makes everyone else anxious. Women start freaking out that they didn't hear it on a doctors Doppler at 11 weeks, even though the doctor isnt concerned. It is an exception to the rule to hear it that early!! It's great you can hear it super early, but keep it to yourself if you can! Especially when someone is stressing out about it and people post things like "well I heard mine at 8 weeks 1 day so not sure what's going on with you..." You aren't helping anyone!
I kinda wish it was like the old days and you went until 20 weeks without seeing anything. I'm a worry wart but sometimes all this new technology just gives you more to worry about!
Ok end rant
I don't understand why someone should keep their excitement at hearing their baby's heartbeat for the first time to themselves just because it may make someone else nervous. Every mom has the right to be excited about that and not have to keep it to themselves. Unless they are jumping in your face about it and taunting you (which I doubt), it's natural to be excited and want to share that.
I'm with you. There are a million posts on here that can make people anxious. Every post about someone miscarrying and saying goodbye to the group probably throws many people into an anxiety attack. Posting what your heart rate was at a certain week causes people to start freaking out if theirs isn't that fast. Same goes for hcg levels, quality of ultrasound photos, certain symptoms, financial burdens, all of it. We're all a bunch of hormonal emotional women right now and every post has the potential to set someone off. So, I say the things like hearing heartbeat and other exciting things are great on here. Far better to me than all the negative anxiety stuff.
Also just a UO. Not saying people can't feel what they feel about it. That's just my take.
One more bc I'm exhausted and hungry and then that's it:
I get so frustrated when people post a question after coming from their doctor's. Like, "my doc said this... But what do you think?" I don't understand why people aren't asking their doctors or trusting them over strangers on the Internet?! Hah
Just to preface... I am a stay at home mom of two.
My UO is that I hate when other stay at home moms say the ever popular, "being a stay at home mom is the hardest job in the world." Seriously? If staying at home is hard, you shouldn't be doing it. If you're not having fun and feeling fulfilled, your kids can probably feel your resentment. Some moms go to work for 12 hour shifts then come home to the same mess that you had all of nap time to clean up. Yes, it can be emotionally difficult to spend every waking moment with a two year old, but it is by no means the hardest job!
EH..... That's where I disagree. It may not be the "hardest" job ever. But it's a damn challenging job. I struggled with terrible PPD, my kid was in the hospital 3x, ambulance 3x, 8 ear infections in 6mo, tubes by 10mo, and has never slept through the night.
It was the hardest job for a long time for me. I have never been challenged so much as I have with my son and being a mom. And I have a degree and was in the work force for a while.
It's also the best job ever. I find it the most rewarding thing I've ever done. And it's exactly what I should be doing at this point in our lives. I love my son and cherish every waking hour I get with him. And am so thankful to be able to stay at home with him.
But to say that I shouldn't be doing it because I say it is the hardest thing I've ever done, isn't fair. To each their own.
I can't stand it when people use the wrong tense in a sentence...For example: "I seen that yesterday". I'm in TN, so it's not super common here but definitely isn't rare. It drives me CRAZY. It also bothers me when people say that the only thing that helps morning sickness is weed. If you feel that way I don't know that you've tried absolutely everything. If you smoke, fine, but please don't do it with a sweet baby in there! There hasn't been enough research to determine if it's okay or not. But that's just my uncommon opinion! If you are trying to stop for the health of your baby and are having a hard time that's one thing. I do however feel like a lot of people just say "it's natural" and go crazy with it.

Yes M/S sucks big time, yes it's hard to work and be pg, yes it's hard to be a mom and be pg and take care of kids and the house, etc. The way I see it though, if you want a child, you would be willing to do whatever it takes to get them here safe and sound. Being pg shouldn't be used as a sympathy card.
However, I will play the hormone card right now!
I think you covered just about every pregnant woman out there. Sorry everyone, don't have feelings or emotions or senses of humor if you're pregnant.
I have never had bleeding or anything, but I'm still a little scared about this baby. It's normal. I was 35 with the first one and will be 38 with this one. That comes with its own concerns. And every pregnancy is different. I'm more laid back this time around because not everything is brand new, but I still have concerns.
I also am apparently a "fertile myrtle" although I don't giggle about it. I have friends who have had problems in the past and currently are having problems TTC and I'm conscious of it and empathetic. Still doesnt change the fact that with my daughter and with this baby, I got pregnant immediately after stopping BC. That means to me that since we only plan to have two kids, I probably need to be on some permanent BC after this one, or be uber-careful in the future.
Why not be able to complain about pregnancy? It's not all pretty - far from it. It doesn't mean you don't want to be pregnant or you aren't grateful to be pregnant. Being able to complain about the sucky and yucky parts of pregnancy is also part of it, I say. If you have no complaints or it's all stiff upper lip for you, more power to you, but if I don't like having gas or constipation or aches and pains, I may blow off some steam and hopefully have some other ladies to commiserate with me.

as I said, it's *my* un-popular opinion.
Did I mean for this to come across as "I hate every other pregnant woman out there" post? No.
I thought the whole point of this thread was for people to vent and express what bothers them. For me, pregnancy/pregnancy loss is a very sensitive subject and I feel a wide gamut of emotions regarding those topics.
That said, I don't expect anyone else to understand or sympathize, but expressing how I feel when everyone is shouldn't be an issue.
It's really that I am tired of all of the duplicate posts. I tried to do a weekly appointment post where you post if you had an appointment this week and then once you had the appointment, what were the results. But we still have tons of separate posts on how the appointments went, (I don't count the T&Ps posts, those are different). I tired of seeing new posts about poop and puke or about not having an symptoms is bad. You know what I've only had two "symptoms", sore boobs and a positive pregnancy test and both baby and I are fine AND I needed to wait until 9 weeks for the Dr to tell me that. People really need to relax and not stress so much. If it is meant to be its meant to be.
PS: I wore pink yesterday.
I really liked the appointment post by the way. I thought "Yay!! Now there won't be 20 of these this week." But no such luck. If it makes you feel better I posted my appointment date and the result on there.
My UO is how everyone's lives revolve around Facebook. I don't have Facebook anymore. So now I am totally out of the loop with everything. Party invitations, family vacation planning, etc. I'm still here, people!
Another uo: I hate when people post that someone else rained on their parade, stole their thunder, blahblah.

This! I didn't know this was a thing until I started reading these boards. If you know people of child-bearing age who have vaginas, you can't be upset when they get pregnant!
I'm sorry. We're having babies, not curing cancer.

Oh my goodness... You girls must HATE all of my posts! I am constantly using Siri to dictate my messages so I invariably come off as a moron with zero ability to utilize proper English and grammar! Sorry!!! I just type so slowly. Speaking is faster (a lot.)
Omg @BostonBaby1 why are you awake??!! Please force yourself to sleep! You have a huge day tomorrow! Sorry if I sound controlling and mother like! But damnit wtf?
ETA: this was meant to sound caring.. Lol...Ok Gnite I'm off to bed.
My unpopular opinion is that I feel people over use the word bully. It's become such a buzz word! Some times people are not being bully's they are telling the truth and your being extremely sensitive.
I hate the "my back hurts" comment. When followed with I don't have a job, or "I'm a receptionist". Umm I have a slipped disk and I work 4 12hr shifts a week as a nurse. Usually short a CNA, lots of heavy lifting.
And I hate the complaining about this and that. "I feel like crap". "I hate being pregnant" while there are people on this site who miscarry after TTC for years. I couldn't imagine reading posts like that if I had been trying for years.
When I go out with friends at night and my son stays at home with his dad (my husband). People comment with "oh your husband is babysitting tonight". I hate it!!! NO he is not babysitting.... He is parenting. That one really pisses me off.

I love you!!! I have MAJOR insomnia and was so stressed. I actually woke up at 5. Ugh! I'm sure I'll crash tonight because I have a nurse coming in at 9pm to cover the night. We also will have a relief nurse for tomorrow until 2pm... I LOVE YOU & thank you for being concerned!

Yes!!!! My husband says this all the time. I'll tell him I'm going out with friends and he says "oh so you need me to babysit?"...umm no I need you to parent by yourself for a few hours!!! It drives me nuts!

I guess I understand where you are coming from. But at the same time, they aren't trying to be insensitive towards someone who has had struggles. Nor can anyone experience what a specific person is going through. I personally dislike being pregnant. I like the belly, and love the baby. But my body hates to be pregnant. It was so hard for me last time, and is proving the same this time. Just because I'm not in the hospital doesn't mean that I can't state how I feel. I have a stomach disease and horrible back issues (hereditary). And though my back is currently managing... my stomach isn't. And it's hard doing my job as a mom of a 20 mo old who never stops or sleeps. And I'm sure your job is hard feeling crappy and working doing all you have to do. I'm not saying anything about that. More power to ya!
Now I haven't complained about it until now, in this thread. But I do talk to my friends about it. And I don't think someone should walk on eggshells about how they feel as long as it isn't overkill and just for attention. There's too many eggshells around here. Just playing devils advocate.
Now with someone who has an abortion thread, I can't handle that and I feel that it just doesn't belong around women who all want our babies desperately. And some are losing theirs. That gets my goat.
Okay, let me try this again. D12 did this too, but we had Twatwaffle Tuesday...which I guess with the kinder, gentler Bump maybe boards don't do anymore.
Also, I totally miss Snarky Brides and the board war between them and Etiquette.
So I am sitting at doctor office for a follow up appointment (not baby related) and I get so frustrated when they schedule you an appointment and then make you wait forever. To me if my appointment is at 10 I should be seen within a decent time frame its 1020 and haven't even been called back in the back to wait some more. I think it's just ridiculous!!
I can't STAND the people that post vague statuses on Facebook to get attention...and then all the people that respond like "oh honey, what's wrong??" UGH!! SHUT UP!!
This is my pet peeve!! Or when people are like "pray for me" and then people are like why?! And they say to just message them. It's like then Why did you post it?
I also love my husband and I have a strong opinion of putting him not necessarily before my child... But making him as important. I believe that putting your child before you significant other is how divorce happens. I also don't believe in letting your children sleep with you. If your breast feeding and you both fall asleep a couple of times whatever, but the people that co-sleep. I just don't think your child will be as independent and I think that my bed should be mine and my husbands space.
... And one more... Along with the dad "babysitting" I hate when other women are like you're leaving your child alone with your husband?! Yes. He is a parent and will be expected to do everything that I do (except breastfeeding). Why wouldn't I trust that my husband can take care of our child? And if you can't trust yours why are you having children with him?

Being pregnant is not easy. But for many of us it comes with worries. I too dislike the comments of hating being pregnant. No one absolutely loves it. At some point even the easiest of pregnancies have a rough patch. It's life. Suck it up and move on. I am happy to be barfing my guts out!!!

As a mom of 8 with one on the way...i didn't take offense to that at all. I don't live off of the gov. Bf and i work and i get some cs for two of my 8. We are far from rich but we make it and it's what we want. And once i am done with school we will be much better off. Plus i am working on my second and third books...diff genre and using new pen name but still. We love our big family. My sister had 3 and lived off everyone else. Now in prison for almost killing two of her kids. Not everyone should reproduce. Period.

My first book was on amazon last i checked. I also have copies i send out autographed i have two more in the works. One i am waiting to hear back from some publishing companies as i was not pleased with my last. But i also changed my pen name. My first book is under Anjel Williams. It's some dark poetry but nothing too bad lol. It's just a collection of my writings over the years. First lesson in being a published author- poetry isn't a big deal unless you're dead lol so perhaps one day my kidlets can benifit from my book.
