Nicole Kidman is crediting "fertility waters" for her successful pregnancy.
Oh, REALLY? How about kissing my big fat Puerto Rican ass, you bullshitter!?!

Date: 2008-09-24 06:34 pm (UTC)Anyway, I don't credit "relax" for my pregnancy, but I do think that getting out of my extremely high-stress career path job with the crazy boss helped. I wasn't planning on getting pregnant, wasn't trying, wasn't charting, wasn't anything... I had long since given up (after 14 years, who wouldn't?)
Then one day *poof* I was pregnant. Maybe, swimming in the water or no, that was Nicole's lucky streak. She got the magic bullet *poof* that everyone dreams of. Lucky girl! (As am I and I never forget it!)

Date: 2008-09-24 11:27 pm (UTC)But yeah, the thought of people going there with high hopes... it makes my heart fill with sorrow for them. *head shake*

Date: 2008-09-24 10:51 pm (UTC)Maybe she really believes swimming in the fountain brought her fertility? Who is to say? I think IVF brought her fertility but I'm a cynical person. Either she had fertility treatments or she got lucky lucky lucky. Or both. Maybe she had a whack of fertility treatments over the years that didn't work and then got lucky (as was my case).

Date: 2008-09-24 07:10 pm (UTC)I've had friends who are Wiccan do fertility ceremonies for me, I've had a 2000 year-old Roman coin (OK, I got pregnant with that, but miscarried) and I've had pagan blessed peanuts and other fertile symbols at my bedside.
I've had acupuncture, a change of diet, and Chinese herbs.
I've had medical assesments, fertility drugs, rather uncomfortable procedures, fibroids removed and tubes unblocked, and a failed IVF cycle.
I don't really hold out hope for fertility waters. Nicole, I sided with you against Tom Cruise, but please, for the love of whoever, stop being an ignorant slut, you cunting hippie.

Date: 2008-09-24 11:06 pm (UTC)She wasn't talking to you specifically, she was just talking. Also, she was one of SEVEN women who swam there and turned up preggers. Now I don't think that water had squat to do with it, but those are some amazing odds. You can't totally blame a woman dumb enough to put up with Scientology for being a little superstitious about something that unusual.

Date: 2008-09-25 12:02 am (UTC)I know if someone hasn't been in the infertile shoes, it can be hard to understand, but let me copy and paste a reply of mine from above that may shed a little light on what I'm thinking/feeling:
"I guess I have an unreasonable expectation for people who have had to deal with infertility to not spout stupid crap. And because she's a celebrity, people will give her credence. I just *know* that someone out there is going to have to deal with their mother/sister/mil/friend/coworker telling them "oh, you are infertile, go swim in some magical waters!". It just strikes me as more ammunition for insensitive fertiles say stupid things, and there are so many infertile people already living with a barrage of relentless horseshit on top of their own personal fears and pain."
