What were your biggest pregnancy surprises and pet peeves?
in Pregnancy ·
I’m new here, but I feel like I really need to get this off my chest:
-Honestly, it drives me crazy when someone is being incredibly obnoxious about their pregnancy and makes it their entire personality. They constantly ask if I can feel the baby yet—like a broken record—even though I’ve never once brought it up unless someone specifically asks me...
-Then there’s that one "friend" who is pregnant and talks about nothing else. When you finally ask if she feels the baby moving just to try and find some actual conversational substance, she acts all insulted. She won't say it to my face, though; she just pretends everything is perfect and tries to schedule coffee like nothing happened...
-It really bugs me when people won't just tell me what they're actually thinking right to my face.
-And I can't stand it when people judge my food choices, like telling me I shouldn't be eating bagels because they're "just empty carbs," or criticizing my bamboo tea. Like, why do you even care? It's none of your business...
-Or when people start worrying about my "20 extra pounds." And yeah, I've actually gained another five on top of that because I'm pregnant.
