or is it just me, I think dd has changed me.
i just got told of for posting on a home birth thread, how dare I say that dd would have died if I had a home birth.
I just don't fit sometimes.

yes exactly ladyfio. And it rather suggests that there has been responses that require wariness. Given that everyone has stayed off the bloody threads it has made me a bit . But then lots of things have made me a bit the last few days.

LadyFio · 16/04/2009 15:19

I thought everyone was really respectful and I think this is what has made me so angry

saint2shoes · 16/04/2009 15:21

I just dug this one out, now where is saintriven.

saintlydamemrsturnip · 16/04/2009 15:23

Exactly. Especially given how personal and painful it might be for some on here, a very respectful stance was taken. That doesn't appear to have been noticed, and the very act of having a different opinion/ different thoughts has been twisted into some sort of act of judgment. I'm pretty annoyed about it, but note my response (respectfully kept to a different thread) hasn't been replied to.

saint2shoes · 16/04/2009 15:26

where was that? I haven't seen anything by mn hq

LadyFio · 16/04/2009 15:28

2shoes it has been cut and pasted on the dead angels in heaven playing with their angel mates pregnancy thread

LadyFio · 16/04/2009 15:29

I can't believe I actually posted that

CoppertopPatronSaintOfSN · 16/04/2009 15:29

I can.

saintlydamemrsturnip · 16/04/2009 15:30

oh I would have liked to

saint2shoes · 16/04/2009 15:35

oh I wish I knew which one

finefatmama · 16/04/2009 15:37

I enjoy lurking on here and get upset when things like this happen.

I'm anti homebirths coz my mum's friend told of how her very first week as a doctor fresh out of med school involved having to decapitate a dead baby that was born breech and it's head was stuck in the mother who was looking like she was in danger of dying too. Everyone here on the sn thread have been a source of strenght for me.

granted that it was in a village in a developing country and was 30 years ago, it still scared the living daylights out of me. considering that the very same country still has a maternal mortality rate of 95 per 1000 births, I'll never take the chance (I personally know of at least 20 women who have died giving birth).

Plus I don't understand why anyone would want to give birth and get up to do the housework a few minutes later. Giving birth in the hospital is the closest I've come to being waited on hand and foot and I was happy to take advantage of it.

it is the termination for downs thread and I thought the downs were an area of outstanding natural beauty ?

Well I am sure a letter has now been penned to the devil anyway, so check out the Wed 15-Apr-09 21:59:05 post

amber32002 · 16/04/2009 15:44

I didn't choose to 'save my child from a life of uncertainty' by terminating him. Definitely no sainthood or Rt Honorableness for me then.
