Inspired by my newely pregnant friend who seems to have caught the Prego brain, forgetting that I have been TTC for months now. FEEL FREE TO ADD MORE!
"Ugh...Im so over being pregnant."
"Im sooo sleepy...You know that when you're pregnant you get really tired right?"
"I have so many symptoms...because Im pregnant."
"Yep, we did it without even trying!"
"You do not want kids."
"You should wait to have kids...Trust me, Im pregnant"
"Omg my nipples hurt so bad. You know your hormones and stuff when you're pregnant...ugh"
"I hate maternity clothes. You're so lucky you don't have to wear any"
"Are you guys still trying??"
They always ask "when we'll get pg"
And I pretty much agree w/ what everyone else posted... *sigh*
5 years for my last one.
about a year for my next one.

So when someone is infertile and they're listening to a pregnant friend go on and on about needing an abortion because they don't want to be pregnant again that makes the infertile person unsupportive because it hurts the infertile person's feelings to hear stuff like that?
I don't understand how those of us who struggle to conceive and air out our inner most feelings anonymously on a website are the villians and those who get pregnant and complain have every right to feel the way they do.
You really shouldn't invalidate and minimize someone elses struggle especially if you're a group mod. If you don't want those who are infertile to vent their true feelings (that they've kept from all their pregnant friends, never even hinted at their own personal pain, and stayed positive througout their friends' pregnancies) can you post a note saying so? Everyone has the right to their opinion. I can only give you my side as someone who's infertile and if my thoughts are unwelcomed because my body can't do what it's supposed to and I'm frustrated, near tears everyday let me know.
Quoting 73angel:
I don't find anything mean about it. I am allowed to have an opinion also. I feel that karma is always there, and if you can't find it in your heart to be supportive of a friend or family member when they get pregnant then it will come back on you. I am not looking to argue. I just wanted to state my opinion.
Quoting Tinabee88:
Wow, what a terribly mean thing to say. This is a thread about what we've been told while ttc and I don't believe any of us has actually said anything negative to someone who is pregnant. We're letting them vent and holding our feelings in.
Quoting 73angel:
I have been on all three sides of it. I have been pregnant, I have had 2 mc's, and I have been on the long 3 year journey of ttc #2. Let me just say that you should never have to sensor yourself when your pregnant just because someone else in the world may be having trouble ttc. Um lets try being happy for our friends and family that they don't have to suffer with infertility. Oh, and when you do get that bfp and you are about 7 or 8 months pregnant with feet swollen up so every step hurts, or everything hurts or is uncomfortable you better keep your mouth closed because you are not allowed to vent. No after all there may be someone ttc around you, and they won't like that. (I had a hard pregnancy with dd, and I had gd. That gets hard and hurts. Yes I was so grateful to be pregnant with dd, but I was allowed to vent. Glad you were not my friend when I needed support.)
BTW, you can have a glass of wine while pregnant..
Quoting Mamie_85:
"you can HAVE this one"
"oh man, I wish I could have a glass of wine. You're so lucky you're not pregnant"
"you just have to stop trying. Then you'll get pregnant"
"wanna carry this around for me for awhile?"
Quoting JessieT2:How about when people say things like this, oooh makes me so mad...
" You don't know what it's like your not pregnant"
" You can't relate until you've actually finshed a pregnancy and had the baby, not just being pregnant for a few months"
coffee or NO coffee?
Do you work?
