Why in the world do people tell pregnant people all their horror stories???
Not even just on this app but in real life too. “Oh my sister just had her baby, he died” or “my aunt almost died in labor” or “i had such & such & lost the baby”. WHYY WOULD YOU TELL PEOPLE THAT WHEN THEY ARE PREGNANT & ALREADY FILLED WITH ANXIETY?!?!? I get if they were showing signs of a life threatening issue like swelling/preeclampsia or something like that. But like for example, i, along with a few others had ultrasounds super early (bc we aren’t measuring by our periods) & only saw a yolk sac & i see people say “oh i had this & i miscarried”. Like cmon now. We realize that miscarriage is a possibility, i think every pregnant woman does. Why would you fill us with all these awful stories?? I’m all for sharing your story but not with already anxious pregnant women! A majority of people have positive stories but then you have those handful that don’t. I’m already very likely to be high risk, i don’t need people telling me everything that could go wrong ☹️ I’m not even saying it’s only on this app either, it’s in person, it’s on other social media. Just why do people only tell us the negative stuff?? Miscarriage/pregnancy loss is an awful thing no matter what but please don’t tell us already anxious pregnant women that we might lose it. Nothing can be done to prevent it (early on usually) so why would you make us worry about it even more?? & PLEASE don’t take this as being hateful towards those of you who have had miscarriages & share your stories. I’m only meaning this towards people to go out of their way to tell newly pregnant women their horror stories. If they ask for advice or people who’ve been in similar situations, that’s one thing. My mom & Bestfriend who’ve both been pregnant said they experienced this too (more so in person than anything else).
