please can we cut pregnant posters a bit of slack

[Niceychops]

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.

Niceychops if you want to talk about me at least quote me in context FFS.

Yes, I said "'you may have been ill in your previous pregnancies but that means fuck all'" but that was IN RELATION TO THIS PREGNANCY. Just because I had placental abruption with dd doesn't mean the second I get pregnant I should stay in bed.

At the risk of being sneered at, I have a very badly bruised toe and it hurts. Please, somebody cut me some slack! Or even better a big slice of chocolate cake.

Pregnancy can be shite. I always sympathise. But if people are being unreasonable they should expect to be told. But not rudely...

Have just read about first 10 messages of original thread so get the drift, but the OP seemed very light hearted and got what seemed like jokey "yes you are" responses, and then got all offended about it.

Have said it before and will say again, if you don't want people to post replies based on partial info, then give all the facts. Or don't post. Or just ignore the messages that you don't like, which is what I do.

I want some slack as I'm menopausal.

Actually, scratch that - things are slack enough!

Yes. I agree with the partial info thing. Very difficult to form an opinion if the OP then turns round and says 'oh but you don't know all the facts'.

HSM - I didn't get the hump, I just thought that you were off to react the way you did, and are.

Why take things to such a personal level? I think I am going to have to step away from this and the other thread, because it is taking up energy I don't have, and frankly I couldn't care less whether people think that I am a Cod follower or that I was harsh.

I said it how I saw it. No more, no less.

Lou Thanks for your valid imput. Very useful. Will be taking all your comments on board and acting in accordance.

Well I dont blame people when they are rude sometimes tbh. At least their posts get acknowledged

I didn't read the whole thread - read the OP and didn't feel that HSM was being unreasonable, but then I am terrible at pregnancy.

I would quite happily hit anyone who says it is not an illness. It may not be an illness but for a lot of women it is a f*cking painful, tiring and generally miserable time.

And to you, the work nurse who is not reading this but who I still hate with a passion - YOU try working when you are throwing up every 10 mins, and then have people telling you it isn't an illness

gosh is this still going on?
thought everyone made up yesterday

Erm, no, unless we're willing to cut bridezillas some, too .

Nope. If someone's precious and choses to hang in all out on the MN washing line then and they get what's coming it's their lookout.

I'm 32 weeks pregnant and have an SN child who is 5 and another child who is 2.

Life's rough and then you die.

god why is everyone so het up about the fact that someone is lucky enough to be able to lie in bed all day?

Yes lifes tough e pat and I am sorry that maybe you dont have the help you deserve, but god I am 12 weeks pregnant too and am so tired- so given half a chance I am up in my scratcher before you know it

Just because some people are happy to tough it out, it shouldn't make someone else's non-coping any less just.

Some people manage fine without antidepressants, some are on them for life, everyone is different and should be able to talk about that.

LOL at the 'partial information' stuff. There is ALWAYS relevant information left out of posts, otherwise we'd all be writing essays. Isn't that the idea of threads, to have a kind of conversation where you can ask questions if you want to find out more... not the OPs responsibility to give all info in the first post!

HSM, YANBU! and Niceychops YANBU too

I'll have some slack, please. Anyone got a bong?

Oh I just want everyone to be nice.

But I'll take this bong if it's going around.

If I take it too, and then in a few posts time admit that I'm pg, will I get flamed?

I just want to say to Oblomov that that is one of my favourite books. I identify more with Zakhar though!

read OP and can't help thinking no, why? will read thread to see if it becomes clear

The whole world will be nicer with a bong, nicey

'Yes lifes tough e pat and I am sorry that maybe you dont have the help you deserve, but god I am 12 weeks pregnant too and am so tired- so given half a chance I am up in my scratcher before you know it'

Um, lilly, I never even read anything but the OP on this thread.

It's the only thing I've responded to and have no idea what everyone is supposedly het up about.

Or give a rat's arse.

Because it wouldn't change my mind. I don't see where anyone should be given slack because they're pregnant.

ok I think pregnant people should be able to rest when they wish if it is possible for a partner to take up the slack then that's fine.

But I don't think a pregnant person should be cut any slcak on a website. If you want to discuss anything then you donj't hide behind an illness or a pregnancy or a disability, you have the benefit of just being you because all people can see are the words.

there is no way on earht anyone shold be cut some slack for a RL condition unless it affects the formation of thoughts and writing down of them

much better put then I was able to write, moop!

exactly what i meant, too.

i take it it's about someone resting (physically) whilst pregnant?

big deal. DH is a saint when it comes to pregnancy.

but slack on website?

fuck off to netmums or baby centre.
