I'm very new here so I may be completely out of line, but the crazy town stuff that happened last night just reeks of attention seeking 101 and in a bad way. I had a former coworker who lied about being pregnant when I announced my pregnancy and then subsequently lied about having a miscarriage to cover up her fake pregnancy. I've never had a loss or had trouble conceiving but this was absolutely disgusting behavior and I can't imagine how even more disgusting it was for those that I worked with that did suffer a loss. Attention seeking to be funny is one thing but attention seeking can turn ugly fast. Just saying.
How do you know she was lying?
--- Semi related true story.
When I had my miscarriage, I went in for a followup ultrasound to make sure it was complete, 2 days after I knew it was gone. My uterus looked so non-pregnant that the OB had the gall to ask how I ever knew I was pregnant. Really fucked up part? My chart had an u/s from two weeks prior showing a fucking baby in my fucking uterus. So, um, I dunno, maybe that?

This is incredibly insensitive. I'm so sorry that happened. What a shitty thing to say.

Huh? What's my excuse for what? Not being bitchy? Being bitchy? Your lameo comeback doesn't even make sense. What were you looking to accomplish?
I'm not bitchy. I'm cuntish. The word has a certain "je ne sais quoi" that causes it to leave your tongue in a much more vulgar manner.
Regardless. If you're going to portray an AE, at least keep up the character you create for yourself. You started off strong, and then like a sad, overweight lover, finished too quickly and left us wanting more.
I want my money back.
This is quite possibly the most amazing thing ever written on PB.
Hey guys sorry about disappearing last night. I fell asleep nursing LO and didn't wake back up until 5. I'm horrified to see the turn this took. pnwlover12 please check PMs. Who is our other mod? Or a global mod even?
@vtwundercat I'm not saying she wasn't lying but it is possible. One of mine didn't look much like a baby but it didn't look normal either.
She told me and another person different times for how far along she was which, ok I can give the benefit of the doubt that a mistake was made. But this was within minutes of talking to me and the other person. And this next part is very inappropriate, but as far as her "miscarriage" she said when she wiped after going to the bathroom she could see the fetus on the toilet paper. I don't have any experience but I don't think that can happen. Please correct me if I'm wrong. I found out later that she had lied before about the same thing. It was just horrible.
::::miscarriage details::::
With my miscarriage it wasn't that I wiped and saw a baby but I did pass everything at home and I knew what was happening and @theresa858 when I called my doctor they got me in for an ultrasound and the technician said the same thing to me. She even asked me if I was sure had a positive pregnancy test.
I don't know how people can handle a miscarriage. I don't even know what I would do...and to have your care provider question you like that is just disgusting.
Anyone who has suffered a loss, no matter how far along, is an incredible person. And a true testament to having unbelievable strength.

Okay so are you riverdance or not? Because you seem pretty unconcerned that a rando from the Internet stole your pictures, including a picture of your baby, if not. That doesn't even concern you? Because if I logged back in to PB at some point and someone had posted pictures of me claiming to be me, I would be freaking the fuck out. Yet you didn't even mention it?
When I was leaving the hospital after my miscarriage, the gal at the sign out desk saw my sobbing and said "didn't get the result you were hoping for?" I wish I'd had it together enough to tell her to read the damn paperwork first.

My first two pregnancies ended in miscarriage (within months of each other). It's truly awful, the worst thing I've ever been through. It's actually the reason I wasn't active on O14 at all during first tri. I was on PGAL and scared shitless. I started becoming active on O14 around 16 weeks or so, but I never introed or anything and sometimes feel like I missed out on the bond all the ladies here formed during those early weeks.

What the fuckity fuck? Somebody needed to be slapped.

A lot of us weren't active early on. You are still on of us!
Miscarriages and losses suck. I would never speculate that someone was lying about one... Even if they told someone they lied about it I would wonder if it was some sort of self preservation mechanism.
I've miscarried and lost more times than I wish to count. I've never seen a "Fetus", but I've passed a few gestational sacs and fetal poles.
My rainbow arrived 10/15/14.
5 cycles of "TTC" - 3 intentional, 2 not so intentional. 5 BFPs.

Ok nightowl, you have got to get your shit together. If you are riverdance, you need help. Find someone you can talk to about your attention seeking behavior. If you are not riverdance, you should be freaked the fuck out. I would suggest you protect your identity a little more. A quick Google search of your screen name can quickly lead someone to your real name, photos of you and LO, and even your home address. If you don't care about protecting yourself, protect your child.

Oh trust me I am. Why do you think I'm PMing the mods? I've spent the morning trying to figure out if this is someone I know at all or some random person. I'm literally shaking as I type this because this person needs to be banned for what she has said.
So sorry to everyone that have experienced miscarriages. I can't even imagine how devastating that would have been. It gives me the chills just thinking about it.
Nightowl, really, how are you not losing your mind right now? As @monstomommmy said, if you are really riverdance, please find someone you're comfortable talking to about your situation. If you aren't, how are you not more angry about this person stealing your photos? WTF is going on?
I just typed in your SN and the first result was your personal Twitter account. I would strongly suggest removing the SN Nighowl from any of your personal accounts. STRANGER DANGER at it's finest.

cocohkn Trust me I am mad. I'm fucking pissed. I'm freaked out. I don't even know how to fucking approach this right now tbh because it's never really happened before.
K. This shit is freaky and everyone is wigged out. You should quadruple proofread everything you post from now on to make sure you are saying EXACTLY what you mean, then.

I was the same way, I lost post anatomy scan last time and introd quite late.
I assume I am tagged in this to say I was in a similar position. I lost my son when he was 2.5 as most know. I also had a chemical pregnancy and a miscarriage at 10 weeks - all in the months after we lost Jack. Sometimes you have to step away from these conversations for your own sanity and luckily folks have been open to the returns I have seen. I have also spent a lot of time on loss boards and still do. Supporting and helping others helps me cope.
And now I am going to step away from conversations questioning and describing miscarriages. Although- I will add that they are very different. Symptoms and process is as different woman to woman as pregnancy symptoms and labor.
