Wedding Woes

There is a crazy chick on my month board

I swear, she has borderline Munchausen's or something. Yes, I'm armchair diagnosing. She is obsessed with losing her baby.

Early on (like 4-6 weeks) every single twinge or cramp was a threatened miscarriage. Then she went to the ER for morning sickness, and when she came back she posted that even though the doctors told her she was fine she thought she had Listerosis because she had eaten a Lunchables.

My favorite was when her NT results came back with something like a 1/300 chance of Downs Syndrome and she flipped her sht. Her doctor didn't think the results warranted further testing, and she just had no idea what she was going to do.

And now, she spent the weekend at the ER because she had clear discharge and was convinced she'd lost her mucous plug. She tried to feel her own cervix and thought it was open. The doctor read her the riot act for that one, because apparently you can cause your cervix to open by doing that. Oh, and while they were down there the doctors found an infection that is probably gonorrhea even though she totally trusts her husband and was tested for STDs at the beginning of the pregnancy.

The most annoying thing is that 95% of the posters over there totally coddle her, and when one person dares to say she's being ridiculous, everyone jumps to her defense. I just don't get it.

    That's how my month board was.  I mostly lurked over there.  It was super annoying because there were a couple chicks who flipped theirshit over every.little.thing.

    I bet you want to tell her to fck off everyday with what's going on with you.

    I couldn't read futher than the lunchables.  Why is a grown woman eating lunchables and especially a grown woman paranoid about killing her baby with listeriosis?

    DED @ zsa.    I can't believe they still sell lunchables.

    But - yes...   There seems to be at least one of these kooks on every bump board.   So glad I don't hang out over there!

    well, at least she didn't put a garlic clove up there while she was rooting around.

    Zzilla, she has had at least one loss, but she also has something like 4 healthy kids. I understand the worry and fear, I even sympathized with her some early on. But she's just so AWy about it. I've had more than a few bump-worthy thoughts over the last few weeks, but I haven't gone sounding the miscarriage alarms every time I've had clear discharge. You would think she at least knows what a mucous plug looks like after 4 kids.

    Whoah. This is not her first baby?!  Um, yeah. Drama queen. I mostly enjoyed bumping during my first pregnancy, but even by the 2nd one I was all "shut up."  I can't imagine having anything to learn/add by the time I hit #5.

    Do all 5 have the same daddy? Because between the drama and the gonorrhea, I am thinking no.

    I'm still all :-O about her fondling her own cervix. I'm so glad I don't belong on the bump. I don't think I could handle it.

    [QUOTE]i will never be able to relax during pregnancy, so i dont think i'll ever have another baby. it's unnerving. it's probably why my BP was elevated the entire time.

    It's had to be a conscious choice for me. I spent 5 days crying and 2 weeks feeling like a zombie. Then last Wednesday I just snapped. I told H I have to start enjoying this again and I want something to be excited about. So we ended up opening the envelope with the CVS/gender results. It's a girl :o)

    We have 4 weeks until the next round of test results, and I can't spend it stressing and worrying. I'm just going to pretend everything is fine until then.

    CONGRATULATIONS!!!

    I guess WW is due for a girl. Taw just had a brand spanking new one, of course, and there are a few others in there, but the ratio is still very uneven, it seems.
