Emotional: Feeling frustrated and misunderstood

We just went to our first pregnancy class and no one was asking questions at the end. Only 3 couples showed up so I finally piped up and asked a question.

I said miscarriage is more common than I thought so I worry about it, and I know the main sign is bleeding. Can you have a miscarriage without bleeding or is there always blood?

I’m never talking in class again! I’ve always struggled so much to speak up in class (in veryyyy shy and anxious in public situations like these). So I finally built the courage to ask a question and now I never want to again.

She went on a huge long long speech about positive thinking and about how I need to stop only thinking about bad stuff and reading horror stories and watching the news etc.

My husband was trying to be nice and started rubbing my back when she was talking, but it made it seem like I was having a meltdown

Then the other couples were hugging me saying “it’s gonna be ok”

I’m like wtf I just had a technical question about the bleeding!

Now they all think I’m a super emotional negative Nancy nutcase

When we left I was like “geeze I just asked a simple question” and he said he was shocked that I would bring up something like that. Wtf?!

He said “I don’t think anyone was expecting to talk about something like that in a pregnancy class”

Ummm... where else? It’s not like I asked about baseball in a pregnancy class... it’s relevant!

This is why I don’t talk in class.

Earlier in the class when she said no alcohol during pregnancy, My husband made a joke that I better lay off the booze and I was embarrassed so I turned bright red so now they all think I’m a guilty ass drinker too lol

Basically I know the teacher was trying to help. I know the other couples and my husband were trying to help. Everyone was sweet. I’m just feeling so frustrated and misunderstood. She didn’t let me finish the question before she went on and on about negative thinking.

I know I shouldn’t care what anyone thinks anyways. I just feel frustrated, misunderstood, embarrassed, and discouraged to speak up with questions in future classes.

I am a very sensitive person anyways but am I just being ridiculous because of hormones?

I’m upset so grammar and punctuation are out the window.
