Thank God for all of you.
To be honest I felt very uncomfortable with this thread a long time ago as there was someone else on BYC who really wants a child and at the same time of them posting about their feelings, we had balatant displays of these scan pics. It has stayed in my mind, the pain that this must have caused.
But I am an oddball who thinks there is a time and place for pics of naked pregnant stomachs, and scan views of precious babies.
but I like many others had no idea. yesterday following 2 very difficult days personally, I was , like everyone else touched by the idea and the conflict that would be felt by the stillbirth of one of triplets.
There was also another story of personal loss running on the site, and we all rallied again to offer support.
Later I noticed another post from this person talking about taking a child to feed calves, and about livestock, and I just shook my head and decided that i am a fuddy duddy, it did not fit at all with the overall scenario.
but then who am I to make judgements on peope or their lives.
This morning all I can say is Thank God for you guys.
It does not affect me, a long way off to offer a little of myself, my sympathy and time to express genuine emotions in support of another, but for some this is highly pertinent, and does reflect very much on their current experience.
So even in the smallest way having bought into this lie, and possibly taking away from someone else who really deserved greater support from us, I am humbled and grateful for you guys who have taken the time to reveal this to us. It is not the first time I have been made a fool of by someone on the internet, but i feel safer knowing there are more knowledgeable people there who will recognise things that I have no knowledge of.
many many thanks,
Jena.
