*bangs head against the wall* just disgusting

Besides the obvious, the words that come to mind are incredulous, nauseating, open-mouthed, wha–?!?!

Wow. Having wept with a mother who lost a twin, and now grieves every year, while celebrating the birthday of the one who survived, this is just sickening.

When you lose a child, THERE IS NOTHING that makes it somehow OK. Much as some people do not want to face that fact, it is an immutable law of nature. If you’re going to work with mothers, you may as well adjust, because the laws of nature are not going to change just because it bothers your delicate sensibilities.

That is just plain hateful. What a horrible, horrible thing to say.

OK, something just told me that when I clicked on this link, it was gonna be bad.

A) What in anyone’s right mind would make them say something this inanely, incomprehensibly stupid? (rhetorical question) and more importantly, b) what did the mother say, I wonder?

“THank you, but I’ll be taking my things now and looking for a new doctor.”

UNREAL.

*gasp* I cannot fathom why anyone would say this!!!!!!!!!!

Is it thursday again yet? I need my fix of nice comments.

I’m not sure I can handle any more disrespectful comments from “caregivers” As if having twins makes it so that you have a back-up baby. Ugh, I feel ill.

i wonder if he lost a testicle in a traumatic accident, and was told “it’s ok, you still have one and it works” whether he’d re-think that comment.

what an insensitive idiot.

As I read these each day, there are definitely times I wish you could sue doctors for emotional abuse. If a doctor were to say something like that to me I’m sure I’d have a hard time with the rest of my pregnancy. I’d be constantly thinking about losing one of them. Maybe I’m just too emotional, but I think that’s especially fair during pregnancy. Ugh. How heartbreaking.

After being told that I was having twins at the 20 week ultrasound I had an irrational, unfounded fear I was only getting out of it all with one baby – a fear that persisted through the pregnancy. I may well have lost my mind if a caregiver had told me that. Thankfully they are happy healthy four month olds.

“Good thing you have 5 fingers, because if someone cuts off 4, you’ll still have one to gesture with!”

“Good thing you have 5 fingers, because if someone cuts off 4, you’ll still have one to gesture with!” Or did someone already say that?

“By that logic, you should strongly encourage your wife to take a lover. Maybe two.”

I know women who’ve lost one twin. They’re devastated. If a doctor had said this to me, I would have been convinced he’d seen something on the ultrasound that was going to kill one baby and he wanted to prepare me for it.

I *have* lost a baby. I’ve had three more since then, and guess what? They haven’t replaced her. Babies aren’t like buying the multipack at BJs,where if something’s wrong with one box of Wheat Thins you can just chuck it and get out the other one.

As a mother who has lost a twin, I cannot even fathom someone telling me that. Oh wait… that happens frequently, actually. But never from a medical practitioner. Bleck!

I lost two of my triplets this pregnancy. I’m thrilled to still have a baby left, but having all three of my precious children would have been MUCH better. i cannot imagine how hard I would slap a medical provider for saying something like this to me.

They’re BABIES, you idiot! BABIES! LIVING, GROWING, HUMAN BABIES! Not the two-for-one special at Denny’s!
Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo…. *seethes*

Doesn’t this sound like something a nine-year-old boy would say?

This Docs are a**h**es

*jaws drops*

The sad thing is I heard something similar from a Catholic priest during our marriage prep weekend *sighs* I’m curious what the parents would have done if they’d still been in the room.
