Honestly, it’s been driving me nuts lately—friends and acquaintances just won't stop blowing up my phone asking how things are going, if I've had the baby yet, or when my due date is. I know, I get it, people forget stuff—but seriously... 🤦 at this rate, I think most people would prefer a formal written notice once I actually start going through labor. I really just want to tell everyone: you'll find out when the baby arrives, so please, don't worry too much.
Lucky you if you actually know how to fight for your seat—I’m terrible at that kind of thing 🤣 But hey, you’ve gotta stand up for yourself sometimes, right? 👍
Personally, I don't mind people touching my belly—it's actually pretty sweet because I know that's my first instinct whenever I see a pregnant friend. Though, I have to admit, people usually approach me a bit cautiously when they want to touch my stomach—probably just trying to gauge if I'm okay with it 🤣
My mom even patted my belly three different times 😁
But I guess I only truly get why it's annoying before you actually have a bump to deal with.
What really caught me off guard was how people only started cutting in line once I was literally starving—like, my stomach was touching my teeth... before this, there was zero chance anyone would cut ahead. Even those older ladies with kids who clearly know how much standing sucks—they’d always be respectful. I get the teenagers, though; they just don't care about anyone else ☕ Yeah, people can be total jerks
And honestly, it surprised me how much I've been struggling this past month—just dragging myself along, unable to stand for long... everything used to feel fine, but now I'm watching pregnant women and thinking, "No way, it can't actually be this hard" 😵
