Pregnancy Info HOME

Hi again ladies! Just a comment to Toya's last post! I totally understand where you are coming from, we should know little things like when our last period was and if we're eating healthy or not, but that's not what I'm talking about when I said that there's nothing wrong with depending on our doctors to know more than we do. I was referring to the subject of pregnancy. This is my first pregnancy, like I said, and there are a lot of things that I don't and couldn't possibly know about it unless I studied every aspect of it beforehand. The point I'm just trying to make it that our doctors, at least my doctor, know a lot more about what's going on with me during my pregnancy than I do! Sure I've read a lot about pregnancy, but that doesn't make me a doctor. Anyway, that's all I wanted to say! Hope you guys have a nice day! =)

where the hell do you get your information from. It depends on the size of the v____a, and remember the cervix moves. I can feel my cervix it use to feel like the tip of my nose but now it feels like inside my cheek, silly rabbits

Blah friggin blah Lindsay!!! In fact I did consult my doctor about it and she said, nope not recommended. So, if your doctor said nothing wrong with it, then you keep feeling for it girl, play around with yourself all you want.

Jenny get a life!! you obviously think that you are a know all when it comes to pregnancy, and every other woman on this site has to listen to your gospel. Chill out and enjoy your pregnancy instead of playing Doctor Know it all.

Will no one try to answer my question I posed earlier? What is the benefit to your pregnancy to check yourself for dilation? And please spare us the women in power speeches. What good does it do you really?

EM, I think that if people respected you...they'd answer your question...

Toya...the people I deal with in "real life" not on this message board respect me a lot. I work with 8 men in an office, I am the only woman, and they even threw me a huge baby shower. My boss just gave me a raise and I've only been here 8 months (am over 8 months preggo so you do the math) I have a loving husband who takes great care of me so I really don't need anyone's respect or admiration on this site. I actually believe no one answered the question because they just don't HAVE an answer. It is just plain curiosity...no benefit whatsoever to their pregnancy.

Toya, I can picture you hammering away at your computer ALL friggin' day , fuming smoke out of your ears by the mere fact that someone doesn't agree with you! You post on this board WAY too much and PREACH, and PREACH and PREACH! That comment to EM was uncalled for and unwarranted...she asked a simple question...what someone said about you was right, it it YOU who is self-righteous and judgemental...and then you go and jump ship when I "pretended" to agree with you on another post about cervical checking. You are a nuisance...a pest...don't you work, have friends, have anything better to do than spend your day hammering your chubby little fingers against the computer all day?

EM, you're right...Allison, you're right...

Toya, I've always found you irritating and opinionated and I'm glad now that I'm not the only one...as for respect...looks like you are the one that lacks it for others...that girl is right, maybe you should take up a hobby...

If someone on a message board can irritate you, they have a LOT of power over you, considering you're the ones choosing to come back and read their comments from top to bottom...and what is weird is despite how much "time" you say that I have to type these messages...you ladies always manage to find the "time" to read them and reply to them at that...hmmm... When I state my opinions, I state them and if you're threatened so badly by them that you take them personally that is not my problem. This is a message board in which people are free to post their view points...now, if they conflict with yours...be an adult and don't take it personally. EM, the reason why I said that people don't respect you is because you don't ask questions for friendly debate...you ask them in an attempt to lash back because you feel personally attacked. You asked, "What is the benefit of checking yourself for dilation and save me the women in power speeches?" Who is going to answer your question if you put a boundary on how they can answer...It's not worth answering...because no matter what answer is given...you will want a different one. Ladies, I know that opposing opinions "scare" you...but if you were truly firm in your beliefs, you wouldn't take it personally when someone else opposes you. The only thing that will appease you is if someone were to tell you, "you're right"...Now, ladies you can disagree with me all you want when it comes to pregnancy/labor/childbirth etc...But as some advice...Stand by what you believe and know why you believe it, because people will always come with opposing opinions...and if you are STRONG in your own opinions you can take another person's as a grain of salt, yet still respect it.

I always thought of the "internet" as being a hobby...but I guess there are "boundaries" on what a hobby is too...good grief...

wow "toya" u made some good points there.....only its more contradictive than anything bc u cant even apply those points u yourself made to u.

Toya, I don't feel personally attacked by anyone on here and I honestly was just curious why so many women WANT to check themselves for dilation...what do they see as the benefits for THEIR PREGNANCY which is why I said spare the womens lib stuff...plus we have all heard enough of it, it would just be a repeat of previous posts on here. I just want to understand others points of view on what is so good about practicing this since so many feel so strongly about doing it. Sorry you took that wrong and had to write another novel in response.

Believe me Toya, a "you're right" from someone like you doesn't "appease"me. I just find it funny that when other people respond pa__sionately to something you don't agree with, you to bash them or join forces with other women to bash them, like for example, your response to EM and then and the other one on cervical checking about "their poor babies" and so on and so on. If the "manner" in which someone asks a simple question can upset you so much to not even bother to respond, then you are the one that's irritated and the computer obviously has a lot of power over you. The whole idea of not taking it personally has been brought up before by several women already. Believe me Toya, your answers don't threaten me, they amuse me. But I hope your last entry made you feel better, you seemed to be very OFFENDED that some people now all of a sudden don't agree with you. I call that insecurity.
