Re: Unpopular Opinions
IVF (and many forms of infertility treatments) creeps me out
I don't like unpopular opinion threads.
:P

I feel like most "unpopular opinions" are really just random thoughts. Nothing anyone says is overly shocking nor does it go against the grain.
[QUOTE]In Response to Re: Unpopular Opinions : So anyone who has a micropreemie shouldn't have more kids? Her early delivery had nothing to do with the number of times she's been pg. It was her gall bladder that lead to pre eclampsia, which can happen in ANY woman.

She is just too cute. That giggling video = CUTE OVERLOAD. Loved it!</p>

I agree. She also had pre-eclampsia in a previous pregnancy. It can happen to anyone.

I like working out. It makes me feel like I can do anything!

Oh my gosh that's heart-breaking. I just can't even imagine.

I believe that behavior is a response to the environment, and most all behavior can be modified. That being said, I think prison should focus on rehabilitation, and release from prison should be contingent on said rehabilitation.

<p> </p><p>It was SO terrible. To make things worse, our university (the PSYCHOLOGY department, which just beggars belief) specifically told everyone to not mention the baby, which was clearly the wrong way to go about it- they had all of the staff and students tip-toeing around her pretending that nothing had happened. My colleague <em>wanted</em> to talk about her daughter, and didn't want to feel as though she was forgotten. She brought pictures of her into her office and tried to normalise it as much as possible, but there was such a stigma, which made things harder for her. She went on to start doing research on reactions to grief because of her experiences. </p><p>I don't know how she continued to go on after it happened; she was back at work a few weeks later, trying to keep herself busy... it was just a terrible situation. </p>
There are some topics that are incredibly sensitive and too close for home for some folks, and without knowing it ahead of time, a reader could open something she (or he) doesn't need to read.

I love you Missy. Even though you are not smart enough to take online quizzes to find out really important information. ~cew
Also, I don't think infertility has anything to do with Darwinism. We have so many environmental factors that can cause infertility that I think little of it has to do with genetics anymore.
Leayn- *smooch*
[QUOTE]My friend has it right now. They are treating it and they say she and the baby will be fine but it still seems scary.
<p>Posted by number55[/QUOTE]</p><p> </p><p>It is scary, but if it's managed properly it's usually ok. The issue with what happened in this case was that the midwife knew that the BP was elevated but failed to call the OB/get help until the situation was really dire. My colleague knew there was something wrong and was telling the midwife this, but she disregarded it (needless to say, she was fired afterwards and I believe there was a financial settlement from the hospital for my colleague). Given it's recognised, I'm sure your friend will be fine. </p>
Here are mine:
I think the Duggars should have as many kids as they want as long as they can afford them. If we let drug addicts and drunks have babies, then who are we to tell them what to do.
I dont like address labels on invites (even the clear ones).
I dont like fake flowers of any kind.
I really dont like cats. At all. Not even kittens.
DX: PCOS/Recurrent losses/MTHFR mutation (compound hetero)
5 hysteroscopies/2 surgical
3 Inject IUIs = 2 m/c's and 1 BFN
IVF #1= BFP. m/c at 7w6d. Needed 2 D&C's and scar tissue removal. Mild OHSS
IVF #2 = BFP. Severe OHSS. 4 Drainings. TWINS!
[QUOTE]Sun...that is too sad. <strong>Everyone deals with pain in their own way. </strong> I think it should be up to that person whether or not it should be discussed. I could definitely understand her wanting to talk about it rather than ignore it.
<p>Posted by leayn[/QUOTE]</p><p> </p><p>That's it- and you would think that psychs would know this better than anyone! But apparently not. </p>
So if you don't mind specifying, I and maybe we, can make a point of doing that.

Ditto. I'm also highly allergic which I use as an excuse but really, I don't like their attitudes. I'm the HBIC Miss Kitty, not you!
[QUOTE]I wear leggings too! Under tunic length tops of course. I love them and think they look really cute....especially with some bomb ass boots.

Yesss! Me too! I bought a new scarf yesterday and wore it today even though it was 90 degrees outside because dangit, I'm ready to pull our my winter-wear!
Posts involving things like suicide, detailed posts about self-harming, etc. I think animal and child abuse too. If the post itself is the topic, then it's my opinion there should be a warning in the subject line. If the post is just a link to a news story, the warning could be there. Know what I'm saying?
