Especially the ones in my FertilityFriend Due Date group. I'm going to quit it, in fact, because I'm so sick of women (most of whom are due in late March, so 3+ weeks behind me) talking about feeling their babies move. Or complaining about feeling ill. (Sorry, HG has robbed me of sympathy for anyone who "feels sick" but doesn't actually puke, especially not 4+ times a day every single day). I hate the women who complain about their husbands (then why are you having a baby!), and I hate the women who drag their husbands to each and every OB appointment. I hate the women who are on the 2nd+ baby who complain that no one wants to throw them a baby shower. I hate the women who run to the ER every time they "have pink cervical mucus". I especially hate the gender swayers.
Oh well. I've heard other parents can be awful too (love the Mompetition website!), so I guess I'm just getting a jump start on it all.

Wbat are gender swayers? Ignorance is bliss, huh? Even if I hadn't had IF stuggles, I don't think I would be complaining much if I was having a run of the mill pregnancy.
I drag my wife to each and every OB appointment, but it may not really count as dragging when she actually WANTS to go, mostly to ask questions and get to know the OB and hear the heartbeat (I think the post-multiple-m/c anxiety totally touches the non-gestating spouse, too).
I do get bonus points at being extra awful for dragging my toddler along most of the time, too! But we usually combine it with a fun city trip after.
If the gender swayers annoy you, you'd love the lesbians who are "unsure how they are going to cope if they have a boy". Seriously, if one has to use "cope" to describe your reaction to an event that you are signing up to with 53% probability, then you have no business getting pregnant the old-fashioned way.
Interestingly enough, the Shettles and other gender sway books are banned in India, along with sex reveal at ultrasounds.
My capture is "stablet". That's about right.
Im having a hard time with the pregnancy forums too. All they talk about are baby names (sory that's the last of my worries right now) and how unsupportive their husbands are......I do feel bad for that but then WHY are you having another baby!? Its just really hard for me to relate......
Yeah, pregnant people can be a drag. ;)
I have to say, though, that I felt MISERABLE when I was pregnant with my daughter. I was losing weight because I could literally eat nothing, to the point where the doctors were very concerned. I didn't throw up once, but it really sucked anyway. Women who have suffered infertility, are pregnant with twins, AND have wicked HG are probably in short supply...even on a Fertility Friend site. You should check out the RESOLVE parenting after infertility forum. You'll probably find less ppl who rub you raw there.
Really, most women are just awful, in general. There are only a handful in my life I like, and the internet opens us up to so many more bad ones!
This will be my third time seeing IG. They're hands-down my favorite group and the only musicians I've liked consistently for the past 10 years! They got me through all of my breakups and the biggest transitions of my life.
Favorite songs include "Closer to Fine" (obviously), "Devotion", "Leaving", "Become You", "Dairy Queen", "Let Me Go Easy", and I could go on and on. : )
Ugh, Fertility Friend. I had to quit that site long before I ever get pregnant because so many of the people posting there annoyed me. (Don't use the word "finally" when you get your BFP after 2 months of TTC for #4. Grrrr.)
