What were your biggest pregnancy surprises and pet peeves?
in Pregnancy ·
During my second pregnancy, the most infuriating part is how nothing has changed since the first one. It’s like a rerun nobody asked for. Same morning sickness, same gastritis, thyroid issues, and now preterm labor again. And I can't stand everyone who keeps telling me, "It’ll be different this time," or "You don't have time to worry about health stuff while raising a toddler." Give me a break. They act like I made it all up. Especially now, with my three-year-old adjusting to a new preschool, I'm supposed to be resting, yet I can't give him the attention he needs or even go for walks. It’s exhausting.
Then there's the reaction when I mention it's another boy. Most people just shrug and say, "Oh, what a shame..." and leave it at that.
