Stupid hormones! I am so upset right now!

I have been watching pregnancy vlogs on youtube, and also favoriting lovely natural births... unassisted and otherwise... to help me get through my difficult pregnancy.

Today one of the women I have been watching and commenting on for months now said I am a pervert! Because of what I have favorited. that I am a 'sicko' and she put it on a video ... with a LINK to my profile for all to see.

It really really bothers me. I guess it shouldn't, but it does. Plus, a 5 minute search of my username would have found my posts here and other places, obviously showing that I am not some weird pervert who just is preying on pregnant women.

If it wasn't for my hormones I think I could just blow this off but it is really, REALLY bothering me. Of course... anyone who followed her link to my profile, if they were smart enough, could also find out for themselves that I am not a perv. But still.

Someone tell me what you think. Should I just blow it off? I feel so upset!

Why would this lady blog about her pregnancy if she didn't want people to actually pay attention to her? Why does that make you a sicko? People are amazing sometimes. . .

Sorry mama

And, HI!!! I'm "mehungry98" on the July board on BBC...don't post much but I've seen you over there...it is nice to have at least one like-minded person over there!

Thank you ladies. I keep thinking... the women posting their beautiful natural births, unassisted, midwife assisted, or in the hospital... they WANT people to watch them, right? They WANT people to favorite them and be inspired. I mean, if I post my birth after I have this little guy, that would be MY plan! Anyhow, I am calming down. I hate how hormones just make life so incredibly difficult sometimes... and especially when it is something that normally wouldn't upset me.

s and thanks for just being here. Oh, and hi Sarah! Yeah, over there I feel like whenever I post how I really feel, I get bashed. I don't know why I even go there anymore, honestly.

If she doesn't want people to watch her births then she shouldn't have them online!
That would probably upset me too!

uuuugh! i HATE the comments on the birth videos on youtube. you watch a lovely natural homebirth and then people comment on how horrible and sick it is~ its so crazy. i swear, i dont know who those people are. so for you specifially, just dont feed into it. obviously that woman/man has no clue.

That's crazy. I am tired of that, too. My husband and I have watched all the documentaries of natural and homebirths and we can't get enough of them. It's the most amazing, natural thing in the world and it's tough not to get discouraged at the way our society treats childbirth. How a pregnant woman watching videos of a birth is perverted is beyond me. I'm sorry that lady did that to you. I know little things like that aren't as easy to blow off when we have these crazy hormones going on.

What a mean thing to say. I would be upset too. It's so obnoxious to know that someone has an opinion of you that's totally unfounded and that you can't change! I'm sorry.

Thanks everyone! It wasn't even her natural births... she just has a pregnancy vlog. But apparently she had a couple guys who really were just obsessed with pregnant women write to her (or teenagers playing a joke) and it freaked her out, so she said 'anyone who has a ton of birth videos on their favorites list, let me know! They are sickos!' then she made a list. It just bothers me. And of course, she doesn't KNOW who I am IRL because I am too private to make a pregnancy vlog. LOL! Anyhow... thanks ladies. After sleeping I feel much better. It just irritates me how people can be sometimes.

Um, HELLO! I agree completely. Does she not understand it's the WORLD WIDE WEB???

Her issue, not yours. You don't get to put something that personal on the internet and then villify people for looking at it.

well, I have been communicating with her this morning and she says she is going to say in her next video that she was mistaken and didn't think before adding me to her list. So all is ok. But I will say, thanks to hormones, that was one of the most stressful things that has happened to me all month. Which is SO ridiculous
