What were your biggest pregnancy surprises and pet peeves?
in Pregnancy ·
I was recently thrown completely off my game by a friend of mine—someone who actually has kids and should, theoretically, have a shred of empathy for what I'm going through... but apparently not. So, here's the deal: my placenta is low, I’ve been told to stay on bed rest as much as possible, and I am, quite frankly, exhausted all the time. I try to get out for a quick coffee or a short walk every few days just to feel human, and what does she do? She hits me with this nonsense about how women carrying girls are just "lazy." Oh, she's an expert now, isn't she? Because she carried a girl too, I suppose. ☕ Or then there's the constant comparisons, where people look at my stomach and insist it’s ooooogromous, claiming the baby is going to be ooooogromous just because of how I look. Honestly, you encounter all sorts of characters in this life, don't you? 😲 🤣
