Is anyone else a fertile myrtle like me and going to have a surprise 2nd baby my daughter just turned one and I am terrified at the thought of having two in diapers this was definitely not the plan. FREAKING OUT right now my husband and I are professional surprise baby makers I guess 😂

@knottie8a5672a2e352a9c6 Welcome and congratulations on your pregnancy. In this board, we discourage one-off posts like this because it can get really cluttered and information can be harder to find. Take a few minutes to familiarize yourself with the Board Organization then introduce yourself here. I also recommend changing your screen name to something besides the generic "knottie" because it helps us form a connection with you, get to know you better, and is less of a hassle when tagging you in comments. Again, welcome! I hope you have a lovely nine months.

FYI this kind of wording won’t go over well here because there are a lot of women here who are not “fertile myrtles” and struggle a lot to have even their first child. There is nothing wrong with being a “fertile myrtle”, but this post is pretty insensitive.

Oh good, it’s not just me who felt this way. I thought it was the progesterone again...

@cmbt2 It struck me wrong as well, but I thought that maybe I was just being sensitive. Thanks for saying something, @ceclarlinetlo !

Honestly, my first thought was that this has to be a troll. But on the off chance this is a real person who genuinely had no clue how this comes across I had to say something. It is a problem I have lol.

And on a completely unrelated note, you have a PM about a question you asked in a different thread

Thank you. It really does come off the wrong way, and my first thought was the same

*lurker who officially belongs but needs to remain w/lurker status for a bit longer....*

As a non fertility myrtle I was also put off the the wording. Thank you for delicately pointing that out.

Haven’t intro’d yet so kind of lurking

As someone who is now on my 7th pregnancy with only one living child, the wording on this post is terrible. I’m a “fertile myrtle” as you put it, but can’t keep a pregnancy past 6 weeks. There are women on this board that took forever to get their first positive test. So high five to you that you have neither of these issues.
