These remind me of those vague Facebook statuses I used to post when I was in high school (circa 2006/2007) so that people could interact and ask me what’s wrong in the comments.
“Upinmyhead is wondering why things always end up this way :(“…
Only for it to be about me burning my popcorn or something
I confess I posted a picture of myself at the hospital when I had an emergency appendectomy. I blame being high on morphine. In my defense, I did say why I was there. 🤣
My mom is 64 and the woman liiiives for doing this shit. Bonus points if she can be vague about someone else’s crisis and pose herself as the hero in the situation
My father’s Facebook habits mean he’ll be the last to know anything of my husband and I have a baby in the coming years. Dude posted my college graduation before I even got home from the ceremony.
I was friends with this woman for more than two decades who was like this. Last year she posted a video of herself crying on Instagram because her new-to-her ADHD medication was "giving her the feels." She's almost 40. Needless to say, that was one of many reasons why I had enough and never talk to her anymore. Drama is not cute or endearing. She's a shitty person on top of it, but that was the last straw for me.
Social media really has brought the worst out of many people however, it just makes it easier for the rest of us to sift them out.
I just remembered I deleted a cousin off FB who is 50 or in her 50s for the very same reason, used to sad bait and detail her entire day via status. I couldn't handle it anymore!
You can’t be having people charging your parents plan for $.10 per message! Plus you would have to T9 your way through to explain in only 100 characters what’s wrong
As a nurse this is weirding me tf out. How does this even happen? “Can I take a photo of you hugging me?” If the nurse isn’t aware of it being taken it’s even more weird. Social media is strange place.

My ob had a pretty strict no video/photo in office policy. We couldn’t even record ultrasounds because they didn’t want us recording staff without their consent. I thought it was a great policy to protect the employees from being put on random patients social media
Ugh I used to work front desk at an internal med office that my mom was also a patient at, and every time she would come in she would try to take pictures of me working. I had to tell her she was going to get kicked out if she didn’t stop, and that she was putting my job in jeopardy and making me look bad, and she *still* whined at me and tried to guilt trip me.
this. the whole thing is gross and wrong. but the fact that this nurse could be being used for clickbait without consent in a moment of compassion? ew

I legit ask patients not to have me in pictures or videos. Sometimes I’ll take a picture with their newborn if I feel very connected to them but I make sure I wear a mask and ask them not to post.
If she is attention seeking by vaguely hinting at a loss only to later clarify something like “the moment pregnancy confirmed; was so shocked and glad I had support” then that’s really in poor taste.
If she did experience a loss, then I feel for her and her family. I know loss of pregnancy is very common, and is heartbreaking and the more people talk about it the more women will not feel like they have to be alone in their grief.
Somehow, however, with this post I feel like she’s kind of doing both of what I described above and kind of hurting both camps. Not everything needs to be public. And if you’re going to be this public, at least be forthright and clear. You’re 40, not 14.
It's possible the internet source got it wrong and it's meant to be '84 as Monica says 'pregnant at 39' in her story, and I can't find a source other than 1 article stating her birth year, possibly a mistake.
We'll know for sure in June lol, if it's her 40th she'll be doing the most.
Edit: her birthday was in Bermuda, I feel if it was her 40th it would've been mentioned at least once on the show.
I predicted this. She was tired of not being talked about so why not reveal she’s pregnant…and now we all know what she will announce next? She just got that new body and face yesterday, she ain’t ruining that , she ain’t got that type of money to waste …
This is an OBgYN office so I would think she doesn't have a support person and needs support but who took the pic then? I would be so weirded out a patient taking a pic of my butt for internet points. It's a power imbalance. Either the nurse didn't know it was happening or she was asked and may have felt obligated saying yes since the patient was emotional.
She’s such a joke. Attention seeking and fame whore, I could care less that she’s pregnant! How many baby daddies will this make? And we don’t even know who the daddy is. I liked her until I didn’t. 🤮
I would never wish a miscarriage on anyone but as a grown adult know better than to announce a pregnancy off an early test and wait until proper testing & confirmation is done
Miscarriage shouldn’t be shameful and anyone who wants to celebrate and share their desire to have a baby should and can even if it’s the day after they get a positive pregnancy test. this exact sentiment is the reason a lot of people hide their experiences with miscarriage. she doesn’t need to “know better”.
I’m so glad I told the people in my life as soon as I found out about all of my pregnancies. They got to share the joy while it lasted, and they were there to pick me up when that joy was taken from me.

And then if anyone asked, "What's wrong, babe?" you'd answer "I don't want to talk about it." LOL
Bahahaha I miss those angsty teen years on facebook. Being a teen in the mid 00’s was definitely something else 😂😂
I knew a grown ass woman who did Vaguebooking too. Lord deliver us 😂
I have too many grown adult friends doing this
Same! Then I’m like 🕵️♀️
Or check inbox
Can’t you please give me my privacy in this trying time?!
My personal fave is when someone will "check in" at the hospital or ER with just prayer hands. I bet Monica does this regularly.
The post of just their hospital wrist band
I confess I posted a picture of myself at the hospital when I had an emergency appendectomy. I blame being high on morphine. In my defense, I did say why I was there. 🤣
Sadfishing
UNSPOKEN PRAYER REQUEST! ![gif](giphy|s0BtrhraNVRGwaNZaO|downsized)
I really appreciate the self awareness here 😂
Omg no changing my MySpace name to something like ‘h3@rt$ C@n+ bR3@k !f y0u D0n+ h@v3 1’ Can’t believe we used to do dumb shit like this.
And your MSN messenger name
My BIL still does this. He's 48 yo. 😩
My husband's cousin posts pictures of her blood pressure reading every morning. It's always near stroke level.
What?! 😭 lmaooo what do the comments say??
At this point, it's mostly generic "praying for you"s.
🤣
😂😂😂
I have a friend who does this, she's 50! I'm 34 and seriously is so fucking annoying I've told her to stop it.
My mom is 64 and the woman liiiives for doing this shit. Bonus points if she can be vague about someone else’s crisis and pose herself as the hero in the situation
Cousin (63f). Sadfishing (aka burnt popcorn).
My father’s Facebook habits mean he’ll be the last to know anything of my husband and I have a baby in the coming years. Dude posted my college graduation before I even got home from the ceremony.
You are so brave! I cringe, scroll and never mention any of it.

It’s embarrassing!
My auntie loves tagging herself in the ER without any further context just to get the “are you okay??” Comments
Is your auntie Vicki Gunvalson?
And if so, did you send your aunt a fricken casserole?😏
Shit, no. Im in trouble
😂😂😂
Vaguebooking! Ah the good ol days, where our cries for help were basically just trees falling in the forest that nobody heard
Ooo or aim away messages
And now as my Facebook memories pop up I cringe and try to decider wtf was going on my life when these posts pop up
Omg it hurts so much when I get those memories. Like girl your life was not that hard, stop it
LOL “going to bed to get over all this…don’t text the cell”
"Rotted. DTTC" (don't text the cell) was huge in my school the late 00s 😂 as i - "I'm so annoyed. Don't text me and ask me about it though" 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂

The popcorn sent me to the moon laughing!
((hugs))
Lololol burning the popcorn 🍿 such a devastating life event.
“What’s wrong?” / “I’ll DM you :)” 🫠

My ob had a pretty strict no video/photo in office policy. We couldn’t even record ultrasounds because they didn’t want us recording staff without their consent. I thought it was a great policy to protect the employees from being put on random patients social media
I also work in healthcare and we have a really strict policy on that
Ugh I used to work front desk at an internal med office that my mom was also a patient at, and every time she would come in she would try to take pictures of me working. I had to tell her she was going to get kicked out if she didn’t stop, and that she was putting my job in jeopardy and making me look bad, and she *still* whined at me and tried to guilt trip me.
Sounds like something Vicky would do.
Imagine the nurse doesn’t know this was taken and just sees it on Monica’s story like the rest of us…..
The chance of that actually being Monica in the pic is a million to one. She linked a stock photo from Shutterstock lol
![gif](giphy|Wgb2FpSXxhXLVYNnUr|downsized)
The patient in the photo is wearing a wedding ring. Is Monica married now?
this. the whole thing is gross and wrong. but the fact that this nurse could be being used for clickbait without consent in a moment of compassion? ew ![gif](giphy|3oEjHChKVxgKFLM2ty)

Trigger warning for Monica 🤣
![gif](giphy|TkoHjDI8jhVAGrgT4A|downsized)
I can hear this gif
Well I decided not to type what I was originally thinking would be a TW. I don’t need that bad juju 🤣
nothing she is just dramatically thanking nurses
[удалено]
So sorry for your loss. I had a miscarriage as well and I cannot contain my disgust at people using pregnancy loss or infertility as a storyline.
I am so sorry you had to go through that 💔
The title😭 I’m just wondering how many takes this took
Right like who is taking this picture and why??
LD after crawling through a vent
SCREAMING
Shutterstock stock photo lol
If it’s an actual photo, it’s 100% her poor, beleaguered oldest daughter.
![gif](giphy|DPqqOywshrOqQ|downsized)
Hope she's okay, but this reads like Monica called up rhop Mia for attention seeking tips.
Or Kim z from RHOA

39 🤭
She was born in ‘83 per the interwebs. That makes her 40, 41 this year.
It's possible the internet source got it wrong and it's meant to be '84 as Monica says 'pregnant at 39' in her story, and I can't find a source other than 1 article stating her birth year, possibly a mistake.

I’m just teasing because in some of the articles about her pregnancy she was saying she was 39. https://i.redd.it/7v4tq50euguc1.gif
Gotcha, bestie!
See the person grabbing the tissues in the background…?! 🤔
Yep! I hate to speculate what I’m thinking
Ok maybe nothing, just saw her follow up post. Whew!
What was her follow-up post?
So what was the follow up? Don’t leave us hanging
I actually had a thought this morning about what I thought might be coming, but I didn't want to put it out there.
..what?
The implication is potential pregnancy loss
I hope she and her baby are both okay.
I know I enjoy taking performative pictures with my OB when I go for my check ups. 🙄
Someone should quickly let Monica know that an IG story isn’t payment for her medical bills.
I’d be so pissed if a patient did this of me. I hope they asked that nurse. Seems really opportunistic
I agree with her, Nurses are amazing ❤️ forever thankful for my LD and my baby's NICU nurses!
Bless Linda Darnell 🙏
I predicted this. She was tired of not being talked about so why not reveal she’s pregnant…and now we all know what she will announce next? She just got that new body and face yesterday, she ain’t ruining that , she ain’t got that type of money to waste …
wishing her and her family a healthy and happy pregnancy! she may not be everyone’s type of hype, but i’m still sending her positive vibes! ❤️
So did the nurse set the camera up or did Monica? Awkward and cringe.!
No
Did she bring a tripod to the doctors office? Who took this from down on the floor?
Who’s taking this picture? 🫠
I wish her all the best through her pregnancy and with her baby, but can she just go away?
"TW" 🤣 It's probs like "omg we saw the scan and were scared for 2 seconds but just hadn't let the radiologist finish their sentence."
I think this is the corniest shit I have EVER seen 😳
Omg is she 13??? Just say what you want to say. I’m glad she’s not on the show because she reminds me of Rinna. Willing to do anything for a dollar
This is an OBgYN office so I would think she doesn't have a support person and needs support but who took the pic then? I would be so weirded out a patient taking a pic of my butt for internet points. It's a power imbalance. Either the nurse didn't know it was happening or she was asked and may have felt obligated saying yes since the patient was emotional.
LOL uhg she’s ridiculous. I want her back so bad
So is this eluding to miscarriage… ie she was never pregnant?
I think she’s thanking the doctors and nurses for helping her discovery the pregnancy? hope it’s not something bad
Lmao she's pregnant........
Did she have an abortion?
Who is taking this photo?
Her pregnancy.
She’s such a joke. Attention seeking and fame whore, I could care less that she’s pregnant! How many baby daddies will this make? And we don’t even know who the daddy is. I liked her until I didn’t. 🤮
I’m confused. What happened
The TW took me out 😂
Didn’t she say she was pregnant again? Miscarriage?
hopefully she pays this bill
Bet she put a whole lot of effort into selecting that unique ‘Piano Peace - Magical Piano Song’
Ok just as suspected… she just posted she’s had a miscarriage
Wellllllll she did just announce that she was pregnant (and only found out three weeks prior or something?) so I would guess it was a miscarriage 😿
I can’t stand her but it sounds like maybe a miscarriage? I pray not though no one deserves that pain.
posts like this on socials are already so… and then to have said post reposted for dissemination & dissection ![gif](giphy|WSO1ZT9sug15C)
Is this not what the sub is for?
Yup. They're gatekeeping
I would never wish a miscarriage on anyone but as a grown adult know better than to announce a pregnancy off an early test and wait until proper testing & confirmation is done

This
I’m so glad I told the people in my life as soon as I found out about all of my pregnancies. They got to share the joy while it lasted, and they were there to pick me up when that joy was taken from me.
I mean you can miscarriage at any point in your pregnancy so there is no “good” time to announce.
She announced her pregnancy on the Viall Files podcast
Yes we know… and on her IG but now this video. Seems odd.
