@Lindsayleigh1989 Not related, and borderline inappropriate, but the word 'coddling' always conjurs the mental image of people playing with testicles, which of course makes me *laugh-snort* Something is wired funny in my brain. Carry on.
Unpopular Opinion: If I eat it before 11 a.m., it's breakfast. I don't care if it's crackers, icecream, or 4 apples back to back. Get off my (metaphorical, yet gigantic) nuts.
Maybe this isn't a UO but I think when anyone compares sex/gender disappointment to mourning a loss that they should stfu. Sure, feel however you are going to feel, that's fine, but it is NOTHING like a loss and to suggest that it is, is just offensive.

Did I miss something?
It's something that appears periodically around the bump and I'm just sick of it.
I don't think you actually have a 50/50 chance of boy/girl. Statistics actually don't support that theory anyway, and I know A LOT of people that seem more likely to produce one sex than the other. For example: my dad had 5 girls and 1 boy.

This may get me banished forever, but my UO is that I just don't like dogs very much.
Don't get me wrong. I see that they can be cute and nice and I would never hurt an animal or wish harm on an animal, but I'm just not that fond of them. I don't own a dog because I know I don't want to take the time and effort to care for and train one properly. Maybe I'm a terrible person. Who knows.

There is a difference, I think, in statistical likelihood of conceiving a boy or girl vs the "50/50 chance" it IS one or the other once you're already pregnant. If that makes any sense. If not, sorry. Pregnancy brain. Explaining shit is hard. Lol.
My UO is that we should not refer to baby size in comparison to fruit. It just makes me want fruit. Someone please bring me an apple, 2 plums and lime for good measure...

I knew someone who posted a Facebook picture of her son holding the fruit of the week throughout her pregnancy... And then eating it. It was always super weird to me. "This is what your baby sister looks like! Now eat it."
I don't understand why people want to be packed like sardines for NYE to watch a ball drop or some stupid fireworks. The Magic Kingdom started getting to capacity levels at 9:25am and it's only gotten worse. Why?!
@DominiqueU One of my friends made a big deal about how 'the baby' wanted only blueberry stuff during the same week the baby was blueberry sized. I stopped calling it 'the blastocyst' and started calling it 'canni-baby'. My friend was a little thick, so I had to explain it was short for 'cannibal baby'. She was not amused.
Edit: words
Eta: My sick sense of humor extends to my own pregnancy. I have called my little one 'the blastocyst', 'the embryo', and now 'the fetus'. My mother hates it.
UO: I think it's fun to bother the seamonkey! Now that I can kinda feel the hard spot where we hear the heartbeat on the Doppler, I poke and prod seamonkey all the time! I know it's mean and DH is always telling me to let it sleep, but after seeing it's little arms waving like it was annoyed in the ultrasound I just imagine it being like Stewy from Family Guy and cursing me, it's annoying overlord, and plotting it's escape. Probably going to be an awful parent, but I find this endlessly hilarious and entertaining.
Cannibaby is funny. I just refer to mine as "fetus." I'm not sure I'm the warmest or most creative person. My daughter was just "the unborn." Boys were both "the new baby." People all have these cutesy nicknames for their babies.... Not me.
@MotherOfDucks I think I get what you mean, but even then you have to add in a percentage for hermaphrodite's (it does happen!) So still not actually 50/50. Relevant fact: more boys are born than girls every year!
My kinda but not so UO is that you should NOT be in a relationship trying to get pregnant if you have only known the person for like .2 seconds just because you are tired of waiting for the right moment. My friend I grew up with got with a guy she met online, he is on parole, has a 6 month old (with no custody and he can't pay child support), he hit her once already, he is an alcoholic, has PTSD, and she tried like hell to get knocked up from him, and succeed right after she called off a wedding with someone she was with for 4 years... A baby is an xbox achievement.

I side-eye people who go to nightclubs on New Year's Eve, particularly if they don't go out regularly through the year. Honestly, it's like amateur night.
Getting pretty f***ing sick of the Facebook posts that say "everyone is having babies and I'm over here...." The one I just saw said "everyone is having babies and I'm planning which country to go to next". Like what I'm growing a human so I don't plan an out of country vacation? I'm having a baby so I don't get to eat pizza or go ice skating or go on dates!?! I'm PREGNANT not handicapped! (In no way do I mean to offend those who are handicapped because guess what!? They can do things too!) I just feel like a lot of people are trying to put down pregnancy or make it seem undesirable. So I guess my UO is while pregnancy can be hard it is incredible and I am a mother f***ing super hero for growing another human but hey I'm glad you can stare at a map and decide where to go. Idk I'm super hormonal right now so I'm probably over reacting.
@msuzannah I have a friend like this. She became a yoked out fitness chick and got a lot of plastic surgery post-high school, and is always posting about how proud she is that she hasn't been married or had kids at 30, how great she looks, how much she loves to go clubbing, etc. On the other hand, her whole life revolves around her nephew, how she hopes to have kids one day, and her revolving door of boyfriends and heartbreak. I think a good percentage of the folks who post that kind of thing spend at least a few nights crying into their lean cuisines 3/4 of the way in to a bottle of merlot when they see engagement/marriage/baby posts. Call it 'the grass is greener' syndrome.
I should add, however, that whenever I see my friends out clubbing, breaking up, and getting their hearts broken I tell me husband "Bro.....being single looks exhausting, I think I'm too old for that crap!". No jealousy here.

I saw that exact post from a friend 20 minutes after telling her we were expecting yesterday. Bitch our dual income can take us to any country we want while I'm pregnant or after! I'm thinking of suggesting a trip to DH with our bonuses just because of that post- I know if I suggest Iceland he'd be hardcore tempted! Spite vacation?! Perhaps...
Here is my UO. There are couple Regs who I can't help but roll my eyes at them every time they post. I know people would totally disagree with me. I wish we could start Bitch out a Bumpie thread.

@msuzannah those posts are super annoying, as are really any type of post that is basically saying "my life/choices/etc. are better than yours". I'm just as annoyed by posts that imply that if you don't have children, your life isn't complete/full. It's obnoxious.
I don't get when people are against vaccinating their kids and post about it everywhere trying to get people to agree with them. Are you *sure* you don't want anyone else to vaccinate either?

We all need to be knocked down a peg every once in a blue moon. It's good for personal development. I'm game (I don't have anyone in mind to bitch out, but I can take the criticism).

This is actually the thing I understand the least from the whole anti-vax movement. I don't get why they don't keep all their "facts" and "information" to themselves so that herd immunity will protect their special snowflakes when the rest of us vaccinate our kids.

I think the Bitch out a Bumpie thread is best after the beginning of the 3rd tri. That way people know each other better and/or the person has been waiting to call out said person for something they did or said. Those are always fun. I already have a list going on my mental post it.

I'm all for this! I think some people just drive me up a wall. But I'm willing to dish it because I can take there are some that I don't think could take it...

I know already there are a few regular posters who don't like me and I am totally 100% A-OK with it. I certainly am not forcing anyone to like me. Except @ButterMyBiscuit. She has to like me.

I really don't care much what people on an open, public Internet forum think of me. I'm FAR more concerned about the people I know IRL.
