You are a very sensitive person who cares about the feelings of others. That definitely shows. Don't worry about offending those of us that are still in the trenches. For myself, I can say I only check in on my favorite pregnant bloggers when I'm feeling strong enough to hear whatever they may have to say...and hope that one day I can blab (in as sensitive a way as possible, of course) about pregnancy symptoms on MY blog! <BR/><BR/>Hope as time goes on in this pregnancy you can relax and enjoy it even more. You deserve it.Frenchiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07549739192754072138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6221503414370210770.post-80905361914958783042008-01-15T10:09:00.000-08:002008-01-15T10:09:00.000-08:00I still do the same thing.

I totally get where you're coming from with the hypersensitivity, though. I rub my belly in public and hope that I'm not ruining someone's day by doing so. And y'know what? Commenting gets easier, too.<BR/><BR/>I think you should post as much as you can about the happy times, though. I know I don't want to forget the joy for the fear.<BR/><BR/>Besides, when you get hit with the constipation in a couple of weeks? Trust me, you will want to blog about that. I always thought pregnant women were being really dramatic about the constipation, but now? Ye gods.

It makes sense that you find yourself in the middle of two worlds. You lived with if for so long that it is bound to make a lasting impression. I am not pregnant but often times feel like I live in two different worlds. I am glad you stayed loyal to your if sisters but it is okay to let yourself get happy too. And like you said if good news on your blog makes someone feel uncomfortable they can skip past it that day and come back another day.

I would have wanted to kill me a year ago. So I don't blog.<BR/><BR/>And I get the hypersensitivity about being pregnant. I always worried that my pregnant belly was making some other infertile woman sad, I almost felt apologetic about it and wished I could hide it. And that feeling hasn't gone away. We've got a neighborhood get togehter next weekend, and I'm already thinking about how painful it's going to be for the infertile neighbor who's been invited. There will be an infant, a newborn, a hugely pregnant woman, and another neighbor who has just announced pregnancy #2. If I were the infertile, childless woman, I'd definitely have something else to do, but I'm sure she'll be there with a smile. She's either a much bigger person than I am or screaming in pain beneath the happy surface. Either way, I know I'll spend the whole evening trying (and if past experience holds, not very successfully) to steer the conversation away from baby, baby, baby.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00498639599248269458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6221503414370210770.post-45559093879982305322008-01-13T09:39:00.000-08:002008-01-13T09:39:00.000-08:00HERE HERE!!!!

And I constantly have to say things like "its really early" and "things could still go wrong."<BR/><BR/>Don't worry about offending.
