i am newly pregnant with DC3 (about 5 + 2) but have not told many people yet. i am happy but also very anxious as i miscarried twins a few months ago

2 days ago i put a vaguebooking FB status relating to being annoyed with my doctor Blush (i am annoyed because they won't refer me for an earlier scan,despite being aware of my last pregnancy miscarrying, but i didnt put that bit, obviously)

2 friends commented on it saying hope you are ok, whats going on etc. and i decided to direct message them and tell them i am pg, as they are (suposedly) good friends i have known for several years, they know about my miscarriage and they knew i was TTC yet neither of them have bothered to reply :(

and i know they have both read it as it says the message was seen just after i sent it

i just don't get it. i thought we were all good friends :S if it was the other way round (ie if one of them told me they were pg) i would have been really happy for them and replied as soon as i could or rang or something.

aibu ?? or just hormonal and a bit nuts

Why attention seek OP ? maybe the vague cryptic statuses are annoying your friends

You're stressed and transferring your worry and anger to your friends. Once you know this bean is here to stay you'll be much more level headed Smile

A bit like all the posters on here transferring their anger with their friends' vaguebooking onto you. Grin

OP, I feel your pain about the pregnancy after mc, but the FB post was very childish and attention seeking. I suspect your friends just don't know what to say.

dirtyface · 22/08/2013 16:45

yeah agree mrsterrypratchett

and statuses 50shades plural?

sorry did i miss the bit where i said i had written several?

anyway all i wrote was something like "really annoyed with my doctor" IMO its not as bad as many of the vaguebooking statuses i have seen or heard about on here

People who write vague cryptic status updates tend to be serial offenders I find. I apologise if its a one off.

Saying you are/ were at the doctor is akin to checking in at A&E or the like. It invites people to say ' what's up?'
' are you ok?'

dirtyface · 22/08/2013 17:54

yes i promise it was a one off. HONEST :o

and oh my god am completely with you at the checking in at a&e Hmm fgs if it was something serious who in their right mind would think to check in there

Seriously, it's a social networking site that IMO is for youths because grown ups should be mature enough to actually converse and not do messaging and posting on walls and all that bullshit.

And to post that you are angry with your doctor is almost willing people to ask you for an explanation which obviously you are not wanting to give.
