Rude Answers -- Are They Necessary?

Hello!

So I posted for maybe the 3rd or 4th time during my whole pregnancy. I'll be right at 28 weeks tomorrow.

My mother has been MIA for the past 2 months. I'm not surrounded by women who have been pregnant. This is my first child, who is a miracle to have happened because I have Crohn's disease and PCOS.

I posted my question pertaining to something I am currently experiencing, just only these past 2 days. I was just asking other women what something felt like to them, so I could see if that what was what I was really feeling or if I had a reason to worry.

I had some great, helpful responses, telling me this is normal and to not worry so bad.

Then I got a few other responses that I feel were unneccessary. "Stop freaking out" "Don't be dramatic". One of these responses was from a woman who is currently pregnant with her fourth and obviously has more experience with pregnancy than me.

Seriously? This app and these posts are about HELPING one another. Please don't put another pregnant woman down because she has a worry. You don't know her background. You don't know what other obstacles she's had to deal with during this pregnancy and before. You don't know whether or not that she has any support besides this app. Luckily I do, but not all the support that I need, and I'm not one of those women that calls the doctor every time I sneeze.

If you don't have anything nice to say, then don't say anything at all.
