Pregnancy posts not annoying but

[Guest guest]

it turns out that we have a number of us who have not been able to

get pregnant b/c Xolair has come to late for us. For those members,

this raises both feelings of joy for those of you who have found

Xolair " in time, " as well as feelings of sorrow at our own situations

being regenerated.

Keeping in mind the interests of our pregnant members as well as

those for whom the topic of pregnancy is a painful reminder, and also

for those who have no interest in reading posts about pregnancy at

all, we moderators have had a talk about it, and here's what we

think. We do want our pregnant members to post updates after

doctor's visits, to let us know generally how they are doing as well

as to let us know specifically about pregnancy and Xolair related

issues. We want there to be a track record for other Xolair patients

who turn up later to be able to go through those posts and get

benefit from them, as well as from all of you who are now in the

group and pregnant to benefit from the group's support. Those for

whom the subject is painful need not read those posts.

ALL other pregnancy discussions (morning sickness, fatigue, weight,

swelling, names, due dates, doctor issues), we ask our " new mommas "

to put each other on your email lists and have those discussions away

from the group.

No one should feel any kind of guilt or embarassment or anything else

negative over this issue. We are extremely fortunate to have a range

of human experiences in this group.

Thank you for your understanding,

Your moderators.
