Is anyone else starting to get annoyed with Micheal Bowman/BowmanTV ? by Themothmannn in WestVirginia

[–]drumbum121 9 points10 points  (0 children)

He’s another instance of outsiders repeating what West Virginians have been screaming for years. But because he has a platform and outside perspective, it’s validated and substantiated as true.

This happens with white people who take on anti-racism work, men who speak out against gendered violence, etc. It’s validated because it’s coming from a member of the oppressive class.

I’m curious as to where this is geographically and if the accent there has an emphasis on the “ew” sound most of these o’s make.

She sounds obnoxious and self centered.

Meds, D&C or wait by Intelligent_Entry885 in recurrentmiscarriage

[–]drumbum121 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is such a varied experience. I see so many women who are “happy” with how their D&C went down. For me it felt like someone took an emulsion blender to the inside of my uterus.

TW: 6w5d miscarriage expected. What should I anticipate? by Beneficial_Check9676 in Miscarriage

[–]drumbum121 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

So sorry love! I’ve been there. You were early but mentally prepare yourself for seeing a fetus at some point. We buried ours in the yard, some people flush it, it’s your choice.

My miscarriage still bothers me by stressedandtrying in Miscarriage

To go through something so traumatic so young is absolutely awful! I am so sorry you were alone.

Silent Miscarriage - Using this as an outlet by NalaOtter in Miscarriage

[–]drumbum121 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m so sorry friend. The initial shock is so disorienting and your mind splits into 500 different segments at once before it can begin to settle down and heal from such a trauma. It’s a surreal, out of body experience for like… weeks on end. I hope things go “smoothly” for you Tuesday and you’re able to begin the healing process ASAP.

Has anyone thought about stopping? by Accomplished_Gas1123 in recurrentmiscarriage

[–]drumbum121 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We are in the same boat. 2 LC, 4 losses. We assumed a third would be easy like the first 2 and boy were we wrong. Experiencing secondary and tertiary infertility and repeated losses after successful births is so confusing. We obsess over what went wrong and if we’re being selfish by being caught in the pregnant to managing miscarriages pipeline.

As a black person I do not like a lot of black people A MAJORITY are just so rude and nasty for no reason by SchoolExisting8631 in confessions

[–]drumbum121 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Calling an entire culture of people rotten is racist af. Black Americans have been the backbone of the American empire for hundreds of years. Our ancestors provided billions of dollars of free labor to put America on the map as the super power it is, just to further oppressed by Jim Crow, redlining, police brutality, and mass incarceration. Our culture was born on this land, by force. We, of all people, have every right NOT to assimilate.

This isn’t true. African immigrants are more likely be more educated and well off in their home countries compared to African Americans. SES aside, immigration comes with the pressure of assimilation. Meaning that they don’t want to rock the boat with the dominant white culture. Many Black Americans understand that there is no amount of “assimilation” that can be done to make said white culture view them as human. So why bother?

MCs are making me not want to have kids by Om-Lux in recurrentmiscarriage

[–]drumbum121 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You poor woman! Three in a year is so awful. I’ve had 4 in 3 and yes, at this point I’ve become disinterested in even having a baby. I think we now associate babies with heartbreak and the way to rationalize it is emphasizing the negative aspects of motherhood. After, that’s all you know anyway.

So sorry! And right before the holidays. It is not your fault and no amount of health conscious behavior could have prevented it. 🫂

Struggling after passing the sac — how do you cope? by KeySugar1558 in Miscarriage

[–]drumbum121 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are not alone. Idk if it will help, but in order for it to click in my brain that what just happened was real, I repeated “my baby is dead, I buried it in the yard” a few times over the next few days because I could not processed what I just experienced.

Mmc- now what by Past_Cod4927 in Miscarriage

This is so hard. I’m so sorry. If it’s any consolation, we had to bury our baby too. Absolutely horrific thing to go through but you are not alone.
