Oh, tell me about it! Honestly, the very first thing everyone asks whenever they see me is exactly how much weight I’ve put on, or they start telling me I look too skinny, or that I won't be able to breastfeed because I don't have enough fat reserves. It’s actually quite ridiculous, isn't it? They even end up questioning my husband because I’m being so intentional about what I eat! 🤦

You've got a mountain of breastfeeding advice coming your way too, so save your energy and just do what feels right for you. 😉
Once the baby arrives, everyone suddenly switches to lecturing you about diapers, acting like they're some kind of moral standard. For me, the diaper talk was actually much easier to deal with.
That is exactly what I am dreading! I mean, people already act like my belly is public property right now—which, fine, I suppose I don't mind if someone touches the bump—but please, for the love of everything, just leave my chest alone! 🙄
