First person to ever be pregnant in the whole wide world.

[User1234567891011]

Don't get me wrong - pregnancy is the most extreme thing I can think of happening to a human body without even getting to the whole birth part.

I know complaining and grumbling is completely within the right of any pregnant person and it is normal for there to be pain etc in pregnancy.

However. How many of you have ever had to listen (mine is over FB and in person) to someone who acts like they're the first person to ever be pregnant (you know what I'm talking about). Moaning and complaining constantly over the tiniest of things, even if they're not exactly pregnancy related they somehow become because of it!

Example: ''My headache is so bad, pregnancy is so hard, I didn't realise it would be this awful! I'm going to have to go to the doctor to get some strong painkillers''. This is at about 6 weeks.

My sister posts endless photos on Facebook of my nephew, they went on holiday and she posted over 300 photos on Facebook of thier holiday!!! Half of them were taken about 2 seconds apart from another photo, we went on holiday and I think I posted about 15 photos, of things like the kids looking particularly cute/funny or of something cool. The rest of our million holiday photos I kept to myself!! I don't want to see 50 photos of my nephew sowing the same thing!

your title made me think deeper about the subject matter...

I mean can you imagine if you were the first person in the world to be pregnant, you just wouldnt understand what was happening, have no groups like Mumsnet to compare notes, and when you gave birth you would think you were about to die...Its the chicken and the egg though, but you did make me think...I wonder who was the first person to get pregnant!

[Greengoddess12]

Wait for the birth story! No one ever will suffer as much.

It's not pregnancy though. utterly egocentric people are like this over everything.

My sister, who alienates everyone including even her wonderful ex dh who basically escaped, told me she shouldn't have been 'left alone to grieve' after hearing her mil had died. They hadn't spoken since my dsis kept sending her details of care homes!

At the time my own darling fil had died and I was supporting dh and my own 5 kids. I should have dropped everything and drove 100 miles to hold her hand.

If she had kids I would shoot my self.

I thought this was going to be about Cheryl Cole-Fersini-Bambini-Gizmo-Wotsit

The media are treating her like the first pregnant woman and she hasn't even officially announced anything yet.

Anyway, ignore my derail and YANBU OP.

[Evilstepmum01]

Mybugslife congratulations on your pregnancy, I hope everything goes well!

[User1234567891011]

Its not as easy as unfollowing/friending her. We work together and she would know. The other week she asked someone why they didn't like her scan picture that she uploaded. It was so awkward.

[pregnantat50]

apparently the first woman to become pregnant according to the bible was
was Lillith, Adam's first wife before Eve. But God punished her because she wanted to be on top during sex, and so he created the subservient Eve for Adam.

i find celebrities that have a baby or are pregnant more irritating as they suddenly become experts in anything pregnancy or baby related and start writing books about it mylene class anyone?

[Redpony1]

A good friend of mine is normally a really moany ill type. She is 6 months pregnant and has not moaned once! She doesn't share baby stuff on FB or anything. She has carried on life as normal, working in an active job and looking after her horses. She is looking forward to riding again, that's all i know about her pregnancy!

[SpaceUnicorn]

The other week she asked someone why they didn't like her scan picture that she uploaded

Bloody hell. Does she exhibit any form of self-awareness whatsoever?

[TheCompanyOfCats]

Pregnantat50 I wonder about that sort of thing but with animals. Like when my cat got pregnant, did she have any idea what was happening to her? And cats have such good hearing, she must have been able to hear the kittens in the womb (you could certainly see them moving around). I would just love to know how she perceived the whole thing devoid of passed down knowledge, books, DVDs etc.

[ThinkOfTheMice]

I knew a few friends were having trouble conceiving and I'm not much of a sharer anyway. Did one 'expecting a baby' post once we were reasonably sure things were ok then the next thing was a 'here's the baby! He's cute, we are fine' after birth.
Fwiw I was horrendously ill during pregnancy but managed to keep it off social media (although i probably did moan a lot in real life.)

[Awwlookatmybabyspider]

Pregnant at 50. That begs the question, though. If Lilith was the first women ever to become pregnant. Who had Lilith.

[smEGGtoplasm]

Who had Lilith

It's like the chicken and egg debate...

[ovenchips]

Also meant to add to my earlier post, in addition to assuming there is also a stunning lack of interest in anyone else's pregnancy/ birth/ baby shown by your work colleague, I'm pondering how many 8 weeks' pregnant women she has ever given up her seat on public transport for? Not that many I'm guessing.

For me it's not the going on about pregnancy/ birth/ baby, it's the solpicism of the interest. Zero reciprocity shown.

And that really is a particular kind of personality type who are like that anyway, but then their wedding and/ or their pregnancy allows them to up the ante hugely.

[KickAssAngel]

I NEVER knew about Lilith before, but have just done a Wiki read-up.

so - either she was from demons, or created from the same dirt as Adam.

Even better, in the picture she's having naked joyful 'hugs' from a snake, AND she's a redhead. Just goes to show - you can never trust a redhead.

Although personally - wanting to go on top during sex, or getting humans thrown out of the garden of Eden forever. I think God should have stuck with Lilith.

Thankyou stepmum

Some woman dont have a good pregnancy to others. I was one of the lucky ones with limited symptoms and problems and 5 days after the birth was asked by my dsis to put something on fb to let people know id had a baby. First time alot of people knew about my dd. However, i know of friends who really suffered or taken a long time to get pregnant and in that case if commenting on fb helps them...thats ok. In the end if you dont like it you can hid the fb posts or defriend. Its an exciting event and life changing.

[Olympiathequeen]

I just un see posts from people like her and when it's face to face, smile and change the subject.

[SparklesandBangs]

When a friend met his new partner I couldn't warm to her but couldn't define why on the face of it they were a good match and she was a likeable person

. Finally I worked it out, she had a young baby (missed the pregnant bit/wasn't his) and everything centered around this child, her FB posts, the beginning (and middle and end) of all conversations. Everything. If other subjects were chosen or events were arranged and he wasn't the first thing considered she sulked.

I had 2 DC at this point and understood putting them first, considering their needs, but I also have other interests and can talk about something different.

2nd pregnancy was a breeze for her in fact I don't think she mentioned DC2, she was still obsessing about DC1.

[pregnantat50]

wasnt she made out of play doh

[PuppetInParadize]

Oh, i thought this would be a thread about a woman called Eve who ate apples. I wonder how Eve managed without Mumsnet. I had a colleague who'd ask you how you were, then say 'Pregnancy's not an illness, you know'. She annoyed lots of people.

[BertieBotts]

Unfollow! I like seeing my friends update with lots of details about their pregnancies. If you're not interested, don't look!

[Packergator]

D'you know, I was going to come on and try and defend her a teeny bit because I went a bit nuts when I became pregnant; OK so I wasn't the first person who had ever been pregnant, but it was the first time that I had been pregnant...plus it was widely assumed that I'd never have a baby so maybe I milked the whole situation a bit (I do like being the centre of attention)....but that was until I saw the comment about her having a pop at someone for not liking her scan photo. I mean, that's taking things a bit too far, even for a self-confessed drama llama like me!

[Greengoddess12]

Yep remember back in the day Paula Yates had a cheery little programme telling us all about how to parent. I had 2 at that time and wanted to throttle her as she had a full time nanny ffs.

Life aye.
