When I was pregnant with Sophia people would honestly corner me and tell me horrific and disgusting things. I think these days I would tell them were to shove their stories and guarantee them that whatever story they try scare me with I have one better (ok,.. i sense a bit of bitterness creeping in!! haha) but ya. Wise pregnant women are mildly paranoid as is, it doesnt help them to hear awful stuff which, I suppose, is why I am now the one biting my tongue in these situations as these ladies gush on as if it is a given that at the end of it, they will have a perfect, healthy baby. Inside I am screaming that its not that simple, that they need to prepare themselves, they need to be realistic and wise up. But outside I nod and smile and burn with envy.<br />Ya... so I may need to make another visit to that shrink...!Cazhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11612645274970749043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9048455495603621899.post-29793356202368178002009-05-11T22:29:00.000+02:002009-05-11T22:29:00.000+02:00Definitely a good thing to steer away from the bad...Definitely a good thing to steer away from the bad news and dire stories when speaking to pregnant women.AngelConradiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09423318903817661244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9048455495603621899.post-86315981219743658272009-05-07T17:29:00.000+02:002009-05-07T17:29:00.000+02:00The negative thing is freaking me out a bit at the...The negative thing is freaking me out a bit at the moment. I have two close friends that insist on telling me all the horrible things that can go wrong. I'm not seeing either one of them again till I'm past 13 weeks and that's that.

Glad to hear things...I LOVE oxtail! Yum. Enjoy it.<br /><br />Glad to hear things are a bit better.<br /><br />You know my feelings on pregancy talk ;-)<br /><br />But maybe we don't talk about the negative stuff because it might freak the pregnant women out? I figure they have enough to worry about without hearing scary stories.Tamarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13875207633073348136noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9048455495603621899.post-33745408882361076362009-05-07T09:04:00.000+02:002009-05-07T09:04:00.000+02:00I know exactly what you mean about negative pregna...I know exactly what you mean about negative pregnancy stories. But my problem is that since I don't have kids yet I don't have many pregnancy stories and whenever I'm with a pregnant woman, the only stories I can remember are bad stories...I try, but I can never remember positive stuff.Flying Lessonshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03805850333722375409noreply@blogger.com
