What were your biggest pregnancy surprises and pet peeves?
in Pregnancy ·
If you ask me, mothers-in-law are just a breed of their own—completely unpredictable. 😂
I have to admit, those constant "old wives' tales" and unsolicited advice used to drive me absolutely up the wall... I tried my best to just tune it all out and follow my own intuition. I’d stick to my routine—washing my hair once a week, drying off, getting the dishes done, and making sure we had everything ready, from the crib to all the tiny little baby clothes. I even made sure to get the laundry washed and dried every single night just to stay ahead of things... all while she kept rambling on about her way of doing things.
Honestly, don't let them get under your skin too much; at the end of the day, this is your baby, and you should absolutely trust your gut on what's best.
For me, though, if I’m being totally honest, the thing that actually bothered me more than the nagging was dealing with those nasty stretch marks I ended up with. 😁
