i think it is considerate to mention you are about to mention pregnancy. i don't like to read about it...it is a bitter subject for me....if it is someone i want to read about anyway...i appreciate the warning....and then go on to read the post..... just because i have issues with people who are able to get pregnant, does not mean i do not value, cherish, and love my children with all my heart, but i'd be a liar if i said it didn't bother me. i say it is up to the person starting the thread, if you do't want to write it, don't write it.....but i am one of those who DOES appreciate it. if i read your thread, and you didn't warn me, i'll live....it is just not my favorite thing. you won't get an angry post or pm from me, but i probably will go away sad.

the bottom line is this is a public forum with many different family types and people here. at one time or another, we have probably all been offended or saddened or jealous by something someone else has posted. i think the thing to remember is just because one person is not offended, does not mean there isn't anyone who is. but we are all adults, and i think for the MOST part we can agree that MOST of the threads are not started to hurt people.
