RANT!!!

[Nickynicky96]

okay, so I am 13 weeks pregnant. And I already love my baby more than anything! I'm 18 years old, and my mother passed away when I was 13, in the last few years I've also lost my grandma and my nanna. Going through pregnancy without my mum has been hard, but luckily for me I have two older sisters that have two kids each, so anytime I ask them for advice, or they offer up advice I take it because they are experienced and know what they're talking about, they also have the experience to know that every baby is different. And every pregnancy. Just adding also that I have been in the lives of all four of my nieces/nephews since the minute they were born, and I watched my sisters go  through pregnancy aswell.  I'm not saying that makes me experienced, but i am confidently able to take care of a baby, and children. Not to mention I am qualified in early childhood. (Birth to 6 years old). Now, all of this aside, I am constantly getting told by a certain person who has no kids, has no nephews or nieces. No younger family members, never really been around a baby, and she is telling me constantly how to look after a baby, and what's going to happen in the rest of my pregnancy and blah blah. She knows that I'm almost 14 weeks along and yesterday she went on to tell me that my baby is the size of a sesame seed until 20 weeks, and it doesn't have a heartbeat yet and saying all this stuff that is so not true. It's my first pregnancy but I do pay attention to doctors, and not to mention ULTRASOUNDS and the fact that I can HEAR MY BABYS HEARTBEAT! To top everything off, wait for it, she's my housemate! I'm stuck living with her until July when my lease runs out, then I'll move in in my own with my baby. God someone please give me an idea of what to do!!

It would be hard not to punch her

Thanks a lot guys! :)

She doesn't know what she's talking about.  You obviously do.

I think when she says this kind of stuff,  look at her with open eyes,  and blink them, and then go on with your day.  Maybe shrug and say "ok".  

You don't have to let her ignorance influence your life.

Best wishes.

Just let it go in one ear and out the other. You already know what she's saying is a load of hogwash so don't bother listening. If you need to, just let her have it and tell her to keep her opinions to herself.

She sounds ignorant. I'd just put her in her place and wouldn't speak to her about my pregnancy at all after that. But that's just me.

Oh it is so tempting, for the first little bit I was just thinking I was overreacting because of hormones and what not. But this has gone too far, I found out the sex of my baby the other day, and I was shocked when the lady told me because it's pretty early, but still I was so happy when I got home and told her and straight away she called me stupid and shut me down by saying the baby doesn't even have genitals yet. It's frustrating me so much! Like, I know she's wrong but the fact that she's putting me down telling me how wrong and stupid I am if so annoying!

My idea of what to do is punch her.

Hard.

With brass knuckles.
