It seems that every time I have mentioned to any other woman that I am 6 weeks pregnant, they automatically feel the need to share their miscarriages, still births and pregnancy, birth horror stories. And then have the nerve to say, "So are you excited?" I read the research and 85% of all conceptions go to full term without any complications. But why does it seem that everyone I seem to bump into only have bad experiences? Where are the women out there that have enjoyed being pregnant and had a wonderful experience (but painful obviously).
They say that you should not stress out about things! Well my message to these women is,
"Please think twice before blurting out your issues on a newly pregnant first timer, its hard to get excited about something that by most women's comments is doomed for failure".

Any newbies finding this, or is it just me? its distressing and I do my best to ignore them and not let their comments sink in. But now I am just getting cranky about it!
It's poor form, and why people insist on doing this I have no idea. The best thing you can do, I think, is to remind yourself that for every horror story, there are probably 1,000 women at any one moment in the world giving birth to healthy kids. People never want to go with the good, just the bad. Let them waffle
