What the fuck- miscarriage email

[Elsa]

This was in my email inbox this morning

"It's time to talk about miscarriage"

Are you fucking kidding me? I'm tempted to delete the app just for that. I'm finally starting to think this might take and then you email me this shit? Fuck you What to expect app

[papie]

Who the fuck ever thought this was a good email to send to pregnant women???

Delete the app. You don't need it. Plus what's next? "Time to talk about genetic diseases?" "Time to talk about stillbirths?".

Fuck them. Delete, and make sure to remove your email from their list.

[venice2007]

Wtf? Delete

[Bernadine]

That is beyond terrible. Ew.

[onetruething]

I am so angry for you! Delete that shit.

[noodleskooze]

Delete!

[underwaterrhymes]

I would delete and write them a strongly worded letter to complain.

Actually yes that's exactly what's next. I don't have the app any more because I deleted it when I got the update on genetic abnormalities.

It was right about the time I had my bleed and was terrified to sneeze, much less add anything else to the mix.

What to expect is the WORST. Definitely delete.

[cabbagecabbage]

WTF? Those people who chase you down in the third trimester to tell you their labor horror stories made an app.

RAAAAAGE. And yes, delete it and write to them.

I've had to stop people mid-story to tell them I don't want to hear about bad experiences (and no, I don't mean "48-hour labor" bad experience.)

Or like when I was 19 weeks and my mom told me about someone she knew who's daughter had just given birth at 25 weeks so the baby is in NICU. I'm 23.5w now and it's still in the back of my mind. DON'T TELL PREGNANT WOMEN ANYTHING BUT SUNSHINE AND RAINBOWS.

Huge yes to the last sentence! I never understand people who see a pregnant person and feel the need to tell them pregnancy horror stories. Wtf is wrong with them?

I agree with everyone else, delete and write a complaint.

[vicky]

I just gasped out loud when I saw the tread title and author. Never do that to me again, Elsa.

Fuck them. Send them a scathing email and delete the app.

[callmehales]

This is exactly why I'm terrified to install any pregnancy apps!!

[sapphireblue]

That is shocking. How on earth anyone who developed that app thought that was appropriate is mind boggling.

I am so sorry you got that. I'd delete the app for sure!

[panicfoot]

Holy shit. I don't like to call people stupid but whoever thought this was a good idea is seriously fucking stupid.

[moonriver]

Quick question. Is WTE, the book, just as bad? I've been contemplating getting it but don't want to if it's full of bad things that might happen.

Also, I'm sorry you got that email. I would certainly be emailing them and going off.

[Deleted]

That is unbelievable. I'm sorry.

[Deleted]

Send them a nasty email/feedback and delete

[redheadbaker]

Don't download the Bump app, either. When the app stops responding and shuts down, you get a pop-up message saying "Pregnancy has stopped."

[junebug]

Delete! What to Expect is the WORST. I had to stop reading the book when I was pg, because it freaked me out. 

[crispnclean]

WTF indeed. My midwife told me the What to Expect book was the paranoid's guide to pregnancy and recommended I avoid it. I guess she was right.

[crispnclean]

Ah and I recommend Pregnant Chicken for funny and realistic emails during your pregnancy.

[cabbagecabbage]

WTE the book didn't scare me much but I liked the Mayo clinic's version better and it's what my OB handed out.

I read that book and it terrified me.  I wasn't even pregnant.

Skip it.

Elsa, I would write an email so strongly that it burns their ears.  Delete asap!

Will do! I wonder why everyone (else) recommends it.

[isabel]

I'm pretty sure most pregnant women are already aware that miscarriage is a possibility, but thanks so much for the reminder! Idiots.
