[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]...and decide to whip out a knitting set and knit baby clothing in front of them.

Are people really this daft? Do they think people crying at an OB office are just there so they can watch you knit something for a baby they no longer have?[/quote]

Who even knits? Were they like.. 70+? Setting a record for oldest parents ever?..  :shock: [/quote]

Lots of people.  I was 31 during my last pregnancy and I did a lot of knitting in waiting rooms — it’s a good way to pass the time.  Although I generally wasn’t making baby stuff; usually socks or working on a shawl at the time.  I would never have sat next to an obviously upset couple (or anyone actually) if there were other seats available, but if would never have occurred to me to stop knitting in the waiting area because someone happened to be crying — it’s unlikely that I would make the connection between my knitting and their distress given that I would likely also be sharing the area with any number of heavily pregnant women, newborns, and indeed older children (no one hires a babysitter to go see their OB).

That being said, OP, I’m very terribly sorry for your loss and I’m very sorry you had a bad time in that waiting area.[/quote]
