[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To her defense, the woman didn't know you miscarried, right? I assume she thought the pregnancy was going well especially since you never said otherwise?

Trying to figure out the context.

The woman didn't intentionally say it out of spite or purposely upset your child. It was just casual small talk.[/quote]

Also trying to figure out context. OP, was this someone you knew who knew that you were pregnant and didn’t realize your DD didn’t know? Or was this a stranger who just assumed you were pregnant based on your appearance? The first is a faux pas but I think forgivable. The second just defies words?[/quote]

Yes but strangers should stop commenting on women’s bodies. It’s ridiculous and what are you hoping to accomplish?

I am sorry OP. People are dumb.[/quote]

Exactly. I never understood the rush to defend the person who is doing what they shouldn’t be.  Maybe those posters see themselves [/quote]

I'm sorry to hear of your miscarriage, OP, but to the PP above: *Every* single solitary one of us has done something like this some time in our lives.  If you say you haven't, the person you offended or hurt just never told you or you are extra oblivious.  Yes, people are stupid sometimes.  We are ALL stupid sometimes.  Some days you hurt, some days you are hurt.

OP, I'm sorry this woman hurt you, but if it wasn't purposeful, you should let it go.  If you told her you weren't pregnant, chances are she feels badly about it and will think twice the next time.  If a person is being malicious or if they don't feel bad after they realize the faux pas, then go ahead and think badly of them.  If they made a mistake and they are sorry, it's time to move on.[/quote]
