To ask which one sentence changed your life?

[broccoliicecream]

I’ll start.

‘My god girl- You’re pregnant.’

Said by a Dr to a 14 year old me.

Oh Frenchie, you couldn't have changed the outcome.

“ why are we still here? We have to be fucking mad” colleague of 15 years to me.

Fetal heart deceleration we need to get baby out NOW,! As team stood over me arguing and mw grabbing my stuff as they all broke into a run down the corridor.

to you all. These are heartbreaking !

Lipstick i’ve heard the first hand of that sentence. The anasethic took hold before the end. What was your outcome?

Thank you, for asking.Fortunately I had a live birth.Tiny 4lb baby after a crash cs

God some of these are heart breaking. Mine are......
I m bored of family life. ( my then husband 1 week before i found out he was having an affair)
I ve never been in love with you. (I was pregnant with our third child when my ex said this)
You re just not like your sister. (My mum explaining why she found it so hard to love me)
Its a boy!
Its a girl!
Its a girl!

Me too Lipstick she was 6 this week.

“I’m sorry Mr X, but your cancer has returned and the only treatment we can offer is palliative.”
Said by my Oncologist 8 months ago, still just about hanging on in.

Some very sobering life changing statements on this thread. Just want to acknowledge them.

We're moving to uk (said by me and husband to my family two years ago). Mother did not take it well nor has she forgiven

Love you lots like jelly tots.

To auntie Dora. ASD who was not expected to talk at all. Jesus if you saw him now. He is brilliant. Just goes to show.

“Is the baby a girl?” (This is what my mouth said; my brain was thinking “did the baby survive?”) - as I can round from a crash section under GA.

(She did, she is the 6 yo mentioned above).

"It's positive. You're pregnant." A nurse said to me at age 19.

"I'd love for her to come and live with you" said by the lady who gave me the horse who changed my life. This lead to me having friends who gave me the confidence to get rid of my abusive partner. Which lead to me going to the Dr (finally) about my lack of periods and fertility..... I was promptly told (at 30) that "we won't investigate as you're not actively trying but it's u likely you'll have children naturally, it's OK uou can have if on the NHS until you're 37.") 3 months later I fell Pregnant by complete and utter fluke and spent 9 months in total denial that it was really happening..... It was and my dd is now 11 weeks old :)

to everyone

My dad when I answered the phone - can I speak to DH? - to tell us that my brother had been killed in a car crash aged 19. I had just had our first baby after emergency cs, he had visited me in hospital 4 days before. The family has never been the same.

"Do you think his behaviour is normal?"
I realised the answer was no before I'd even opened my mouth but that was the point that I first contemplated what that answer could mean.

The family has never been the same

This really is just to acknowledge you heartbreak.

@DancingOnMyOwn

@Lanaa thank you It was 12 years ago now but I'll never forget those words.

I understand what she meant but surely there is a better way to phrase it, especially to a 13 year old.

for everyone on this thread, so many heartbreaking stories

There’s been an accident

So many
'Your brother's in hospital. He's in intensive care' He died a week later at 32.
'You've got breast cancer.'
'There's absolutely nothing wrong with you'. After a cancer scare.
'It's a boy' Twice.
'I want us to grow old together' DH after I had BC diagnosis
to all

Some of these are so heartbreaking...

Mine was said by a colleague of DH's: "Congratulations to DH on getting the job of Head of xxx!" It was a six year post which meant that we couldn't leave the country before DS1 started school (as we had been planning and I had been longing to do). I had no idea he had even applied, but it made me realize just how much he prioritized his own career and that he didn't see us as a team at all! Sorry for sounding bitter!

Will you marry me.....on 4th marriage .....should have learnt to say no by now....

Is that you Angelina?
