Negative Nancies

There seems to be a lot of them on here. I'm not saying their questions or feelings are. Hell I know we are all a giant storm of hormones, but when other people post that they are happy or hopeful I notice other mommies sometimes shoot them down saying oh no that's not the case, my doctor said this. Or no that's wrong. Why can't they just be happy for that fellow mommy? I was only 8 1/2 weeks and already showing. I was elated and over the moon happy. I was enjoying my first bump. But instead other moms jumped on saying uhhhhhh no that's wrong it's just gas. You're just bloated. Sorry but no. Well that deflated the moment. In fact it made me feel stupid and let down. Went to the doctor and lo are behold he immediately exclaimed wow you're already showing. I explained what people said and he said, nope you're showing. You're tiny and your uterus is popping out. You are showing. So ladies think before you type. Because you might be ruining someone's new mommy moment just because you're being a know it all. Every pregnancy is different. Just be happy for your fellow mommy! Positivity please!

I agree love. I doubt (or hope) they are just going by what they're told and not trying to be mean. I had a similar experience with my family when my belly got hard at 9/10 weeks but my Dr assured me it was my uterus and to enjoy it :-)

@Laur yes they are so rude like the whole point we joint this pregnancy community app is to talk about our concerns in our pregnancy . Im a first time mother and I have alot of questions I am concerned about . I made a post asking how many months where 27 weeks because according to most google sources is 7 months . So a girl commented 28 weeks is 7 month Think. Everyone has a different opinion . So if they going to say something stupid not to be at this app . This app is for curious moms to be and to communicate with other moms and see their experience . I totally understand you

Every womans pregnancy is different. Every body is different my mom didnt show till she was seven months and she was very thin and petite. But her hormones where crazy. Me on the other hand am the complete opposite.  
Not only that but you can go to ten dofferent doctors and they will all tell you something different

I agree it is sad that there are so many comments on negative posts & if someone writes something positive or nice they don't get comments. I think we should all try & be more positive, happy & suppprtive

We are all going through tough times. Hell we are making human beings! It's a beautiful messy stressful but most rewarding thing we will ever experience. If we are going through a hard time and see a positive post, instead of spreading our hard times, let's spread our happiness for their happiness. Even if we are not experiencing that happiness ourselves. You get back what you put out. God knows we are human beings. We are not perfect. But let's strive for positive because our sweet babies deserve it. Let's be supportive mommies. I am all so stinkin excited for all of us. And know that everyone of you that is experiencing a hard time with health, hubby, emotions, weight, pain, baby daddy, newly made ex, family, mother in laws, and the most hurtful the loss of a baby, you are in my prayers every night. You are not alone and we are all here to support you and lift you up. ♡♡♡♡

I love this post. I have seen it happening to other people but I experienced the rudeness and negativity today first hand. We all have so much going on and for me this is a place where I feel like people can relate and should be supportive. People just need to keep that in mind.

I am sorry u had to experience that. Some people are just set in their ways and can be close minded to other options or explanations. Good luck to everyone.

Meloweenie I totally agree! One mom was even talking about a "friend" she knows who was doing meth while pregnant and was worried they would test the placenta and take the baby away. It's scary to read things like that. Offering your opinion on something like that, totally different. That's putting the fetus in danger when the fetus has no voice to protest. You can only pray after reading those posts.

I'm the most happiest pregnant person on the face of the planet. But when you read a dumb question like "I'm taking percocet should I stop?" or " I'm drinking wine coolers & wine is this okay?"  It gets really annoying. Your pregnant. No you can't do that stuff!! Why would you even risk it?? Some people who cant have children would give anything to be pregnant.

I agree! :) every pregnancy is different so I don't see how just because other moms didn't experience it doesn't mean it's not going to happen to you :).   I don't know if that makes sense but I hope you know what I mean lol :D
