My absolute favorite part is when they say, "Just wait until it starts kicking and bruising your ribs! It hurts like hell!"

I mean, seriously, 🤷 is this baby actually going to snap my ribs based on their little horror stories? 🙂

Look, we all know that bad things happen—life isn't some Disney movie, and things can definitely go south—but why the constant doom and gloom? Why obsess over stuff that is completely out of our hands?
It’s even worse when you walk into a situation feeling optimistic, only to have someone immediately rain on your parade like that—as if 🙄🙂

Like I said, I have to go through with this birth, so whatever happens, happens. I think dwelling on the "what ifs" is just nonsense. Even if the worst-case scenario plays out, I’ll still be facing a delivery this far along in my pregnancy. The baby is already formed and ready to go, regardless of how much people worry about it.

It honestly drives me crazy when people use that phrase, "IF God decides to let you give birth."😂
I mean, what else am I supposed to do? Just sit here and wait? We cleared the twelve-week mark a long time ago...

My mother-in-law—oh boy—she goes, "What if the baby doesn't wake up?!" 😲 Honestly, I just felt this massive lump form in my throat—it was physical—and then my husband jumped in to insist the baby was perfectly fine. Then came the excuses... Look, I'm sure she didn't mean to be malicious, but seriously? Some things you just don't say out loud.

My mom is exactly the same way, always having something to say. 😁
She told me straight up, "I didn't even bother seeing the OB-GYN until after you got that baby breathing again." 😂
So, according to her logic, I waited about four months before checking in. 😂

Honestly, my mother-in-law is driving me up the wall. As soon as she found out I have a negative blood type, she completely lost it, acting like if my husband happens to be negative too, then we’re basically doomed 🙂 because there might be some huge issue with future pregnancies, like birth defects or something along those lines 😠

I can't even tell you how much of a meltdown I had while spiraling through Google searches 🙂
