if i hear another person tell me to 'relax and it will just happen' i might just have to rip their head off!!

i know it's true but still don't help me to be relaxed, calm & stress free!!

rant over!

Yup that advice is utter twoddle!

Right with you on that one, i constantly want to rip peoples heads off, or scream loudly in their faces.

Or tell them if they think that they clearly haven't been.through it like us. Was at a hen do on Saturday and a pg girl said:'my life is over!'. I thought, 'hmm you didn't ttc for very long, did you?'

Some people really don't know how lucky and blessed they are. Was in Tesco car park at the weekend and watched some woman putting her obvious newborn into the car with fag hanging out of her mouth breathing smoke all over baby. Cue me spewing bile all the way home at poor DP!

Grrr did you see that tv show about preggers women drinking bottles of wine every night? I couldn't watch I'd be swearing at the tv!

poutintrout · 27/04/2011 08:44

Yep, I sit there watching in total disbelief.

misbehaving mums? yeah it was bad but just because they was just plain stupid, un supporting partners & a long line of mums saying 'i smoked when i was pregnant with you & you turned out fine' making them think they can get away with it

i was a heavy smoker but when i found out i was pregnant with my DD i practically quit only had 1 a day (in 2 halves made it seem like i had 2 a day then!) an my MW was fine with this as it's not enough to affect the baby and she was fine.

but the blonde lady who was a heavy drinker and drinking bottles a night was just edited in the begging/description of the show was made to look like that's what she was drinking while pregnant she wasn't that's what she was drinking before she found out then cut it down to a glass of red on a sunday until the MW told her off about it so she stopped even that yeah she moaned about not drinking but that's cos she knew she couldn't! if i was her i would be very angry at how they made her come across

i never drank while pregnant at all but i'm sure alcohol was one of my cravings!!! LOL

I'm so obsessive. Cycle 2 of ttc number 2. We got dd on cycle 2 last time so feeling a bit anxious.
Am really, really broody. Much more than first time round.
Have taken a test already this month. Today. Day 16. it was negative.

Bexamundo · 28/04/2011 18:27

I bumped into an old friend today. She is sickeningly, beautifully, so neatly pregnant! Of course.

Ruthie32 · 29/04/2011 17:35

I get 'it'll be your turn next' Um no, it's been lots of peoples turn since you started saying that!

I also hate people asking me if we might start trying for a baby soon. 'Yeah maybe' though a fake smile
18 months in an nothing. And as AF arrived today I have just worked out that I will now be at least 34

Bexamundo · 29/04/2011 18:47

Same for us after 16 months. Tempting to say, 'how is your sex life? What kind of contraception are you currently using?'

milocuckoomitten · 29/04/2011 21:53

I constantly get people hinting and even had boss ask me if I'm pregnant when mention doctor's appointment or not feeling well.

Bexamundo · 01/05/2011 18:33

My colleague keeps telling me to 'cross my legs' because it wouldn't be convenient to our service. She has no idea how far into ttc we are or how worried I am it may never happen. Ironically we're really close with regard to most thing but I can't tell her about our difficulties ttc because of her comments!
