Open Question: Why do people assume I'm goin to be a bad mother just because I like metal music?

I had my first ultrasound today at 8 weeks. The technician was very quiet and took TONS of measurements of what looked like 2 small gray sacs right next to eachother. She made a comment that I'm going to have my hands full and when I said "what?", she didn't say anything to indicate it's not twins. But when she did the transvaginal, we only saw one baby. If there's the slightest chance(but maybe the technician was unsure b/c it's so early) that it's twin, does my OB have to confirm? Has anyone had this happen? That you didn't know until you saw your OB? Could 1 be hiding? The baby is measuring smaller than my fundus, too, which has never happened to me. I have 2 kids and they measured right along with me. Plus my symptoms are VERY intense(please don't tell me to stay calm or don't get your hopes up, because I'm fine. And yes, I know every pregnancy is different, but so are multiple pregnancies. I'm just looking for opinions and possibly from other mothers, especially thoughs of twins) There hasn't been any bleeding, indicating the possibility of losing a baby. I've had some cramping, but from my muscles stretching more so than pregnancy cramps. And I look like I'm 3 months pregnant!!! >> full story

Open Question: Why do people assume I'm goin to be a bad mother just because I like metal music?

My musical tastes are very ecclectic, from 50's-80's pop, grunge, soul, r 'n' b, indie, techno, classical, punk and metal, so why do people keep telling me that I'm going to be an awful mother as I'll obviously FORCE my child to listen to metal? My unborn baby currently kicks a lot to 80's music mostly and a few of my alltime favourites, like Israel Kamakawiwo and Eva Cassidy, so I'm not forcing any kind of music on him, just listening to what I want to listen to, does this make me a bad mother?? >> full story
