[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm tired of this notion that pregnant women are supposed to be worshiped and everyone has to fuss over them.
...

I was pregnant and had a miscarriage.  ...
  I lost the baby, and I still didn't tell her about it, because I didn't want her to relive all of her pain from the years of trying.

People have to remember that aside from the grandparents-to-be, no one is going to care as much about your pregnancy and baby as you and your husband. .....

It's all part of the narcissism of our culture.  Getting married, getting pregnant, these aren't "accomplishments."  ......

....
Now I have a relative who is pregnant and has made it a point to constantly update me on every aspect of her pregnancy and how wonderful it is to experience the baby moving, on and on.

Being pregnant isn't an excuse to be selfish, narcissistic and unkind.  
..........
Maybe if all people regarded pregnancy in this way, we wouldn't have so many spoiled and entitled children who grow up to be spoiled and entitled and self-centered adults.

Flame away, people!  [/quote]
OK, I will flame
It is good manners to be nice to people, and that includes being nice to old people and pregnant people. Mothers are valuable members of society
If you decide to not tell your sister of your pregnancy and miscarriage then you simply are not close and never were. You are  just distant
You are right, nobody cares, and that is why our society is full of selfish, narcissistic and unkind people
If you have a relative who is telling you about the details of her life and you this is wrong, then by all means go and tell her. I suppose she just assumed you were a friend for some strange reason

Spoiled and entitled self centred adults are not the fault of pregnant mothers. Find someone else to blame[/quote]
