I can see how that would be hurtful. I saw this quite a bit when I was pregnant with my first. It's good to know just bc people (myself included) are feeling horrible due to pregnancy doesn't mean they aren't embracing it and feel lucky as hell to be in such a position. 'Complaining' is just a way of discussing pregnancy and everything that goes with it. The amount of excitement and the amount of complaining shouldn't go hand in hand...one doesn't lessen the other.
I get it, I do. Which is why I saved my "release" for this thread and haven't said anything to anyone who is complaining. I would never judge anyone for complaining or say they should just be thankful or anything. It is just how I feel personally.
I don't think anyone should have to just be silent about everything. I also worried about posting this at all, because I didn't want people to think I'm not an understanding person. I just felt like I needed to get it out there.
For what it's worth, I'm more talking about the "I just can't even handle being pregnant people". I understand it is a valid feeling. I just have a hard time listening to it. I had to hear a "good" friend tell me when she was at the same point I lost my son that she just couldn't handle it and wished her daughter would just be born already and she would completely fine with it if she would be born that day. (30 weeks)
Anyway, I posted kind of impulsively and genuinely don't want to hurt anyone's feelings. I am supportive of everyone. I just needed to get it off my chest.
