Even if you know you're right and they're wrong. Even though it isn't an illness. Even though they're in the wrong thread and that entitles you to say whatever the hell you like.

well...I am generally not a rude poster anyway....doesn't stop me pissing other people off...but story of my life, either I am so boring that I get ignored or I piss people off....sigh....lol

i think pregnancy affects every one differently it does awfull things to me. i hate being pg. absolutely hate it! i do not bloom, i never get this elusive burst of energy people go on about all the time, i am sick all the way through, my body aches every where, i get insomnia, migranes and i have no instinct to nest.

id happily sleep all the way through my pregancies if dh would allow me and i could actually get to sleep.

no its not an illness but it feels like it to me some people. so i agree we should cut some slack to posters moaning about thier pregnancy and how tired they are.

TheProvincialLady · 01/09/2008 16:04

I am pregnant and anyone who does not cut me some slack would get a hard kick in the fanjo if it weren't for the fact that I can't lift my lardy leg above 2" without yelping. Nature is a wonderful thing.

But Cod you apologised so nicely on the other thread! I thought you were really lovely.

Cod,

I never said that I had 4 miscarriages. i have lost 4 babies. And while you're here I am not a silly bint but from reading your posts you most certainly ARE.

HSM, it isn't worth it, it really isn't.

But I'm sorry to hear of your history.

You don't need to justify yourself.

StellaDallas · 01/09/2008 16:39

I thought a lot of people on that thread were really harsh and unpleasant. Sure, pregnancy is not an illness, but I certainly suffered from debilitating exhaustion during large parts of my three 'normal' pregnancies, and grabbed every chance I could to lie down, quite frankly. Why the feck not? I didn't realise it was supermumsnet we were running here. Next time I come on here, I'll wear my pants over my tights.

Stella I agree, I just thought a lot of it was really harsh and unpleasant. And unnecessary.

SheikYerbouti · 01/09/2008 16:54

DOES ANYONE HAVE A NUMBER FOR BODEN?

highschoolmusical · 01/09/2008 16:55

Might start another AIBU thread - my DH has finished work and is shock, horror cooking dinner while I sit in bed on mumsnet. And even worse - I actually feel ok today.

Oblomov · 01/09/2008 17:01

I am not lazy. But I am oblomov by name, oblomov by nature. My name is apt. I am .... is slovenly the right word. Not quite.
Pregnancy suits me fine. I use it as an excuse to be a more tuned version of the real me.
Actually i have been dog sick this pg. If I get off my lardy arse at least once a day it is an achievement.

LOL at Provincial lday kicking someone, only if she was able. Ha ha.

Oblomov · 01/09/2008 17:07

Sorry. Had to rush off to be violently sick , for the third time today. Never had MS with ds, so this ms is a bit of a shock. What have I missed ?

Amethyst86 · 01/09/2008 18:07

Can someone explain the name and shame guidelines please? IME when you name and shame on here you are utterly flamed and shamed yourself by loads of worthy types, especially when the one named is one of the "In Crowd".

OP YANBU. Pregnancy is a Get Out of Jail Free Card.

highschoolmusical · 01/09/2008 18:18

Amethyst,

Thanks. TBH - am so glad posted OP as it has clarified my thoughts. Those who are negative and think pregnant ladies should be working from dusk till dawn and then some just don't have a fabulous DH like me and are

Am now past caring what negative posters think - am just enjoying myself and my pregnancy.
