So, look, I’m actually seeing this private doctor for my pregnancy and she’s honestly amazing, but she told me I should go get my bloodwork done at my regular clinic's lab instead, so I went there and did all five tests.
Then my regular doctor tells me to swing by next week to pick up the results, right? So I call them like a total idiot and nobody answers... I finally drive all the way up there and she’s out on lunch or something, nowhere to be found, and there isn't even a single little note left for me. Some other nurse is covering her clinic, but she doesn't have my files at all! 😠😠
And then I had to go down to the Public Health Department... just to beg for a transcript of my results, pay a fee, wait in some massive line, and deal with all that nonsense... all while my regular doctor is just gonna hear about it when she gets back. It is seriously driving me insane... I mean, that's basically why I switched to a private doctor in the first place, because I just can't deal with this headache while I'm pregnant... but man, she really had to deal me one last blow, didn't she? 🤣

Honestly, today is one of those days where I just want to go zero to sixty and strangle someone with my bare hands 😠😠
It’s like everyone is getting on my last nerve, to the point where I just want to disappear into the woods far away from society. Like, how can people be so incredibly insensitive to pregnant women? They act like it's totally fine that my hormones are absolutely wrecking me, or that I'm constantly worrying about everything. They think it's okay that my lab results are a complete mess, or that my OBGYN just showed up at the clinic without any warning and caused me all this unnecessary stress... 👎
And then everyone just serves me their daily pile of crap to deal with, acting like because I *can* handle it, I should. As if I feel great! What is wrong with people? It's like they only care about themselves. "Oh, you can just handle that task," or "Just send me a DM." Seriously?
I mean, I've always been a bit talkative, but right now? I have zero filter. I am just telling it exactly like it is, no sugarcoating allowed. If people want to get offended, let them. Everyone else's little feelings shouldn't matter more than mine and my baby's 🙂
Ugh, sorry guys, I just needed to vent for a second...

It honestly drives me nuts when people try to be all "helpful" with their constant unsolicited advice. Like, if I’m heading down to Miami for a beach trip, suddenly everyone’s telling me I have to swim, or if I don't swim, then I *definitely* have to swim, or I need to eat this or that... it's just total madness coming at you from every single direction 😲
So, like, how am I supposed to stay chill? I'm told not to get stressed out, but meanwhile, everyone is just getting on my last nerve. I just wish people would leave me alone, you know?
And then there's the constant questioning about the future too—like, what's the plan, which preschool are we picking, which elementary school... it never ends.
