Know it all...

I hate how some moms think because they had one baby they know everything. Like "your not suppose to eat that" or "your not suppose to do this" lol like geez, what are you a doctor?

Like I was eating hot cheetos & posted it on instagram & my friend was like "you can eat spicy stuff" lol I'm pretty sure I can, but your not suppose to due to heart burn.. & I never did get heart burn through out my pregnancy.  I'm now 38 weeks & 2 days.   Lol I just really hate how people think they know it all..  if my doc says its safe, its safe.

Ugh it's one thing when you ask for advice but when it's unsolicited it bothers me. I have to bite my tongue because I'm a 'know it all'. I've read hundreds of books and articles about pregnancy/birth/parenting and I've put missy of what I've learned into practice. Sometimes it's hard not to correct a new mom (or even an experienced mom) but I just try to imagine how mad I'd be if I got unsolicited advice constantly. So I bite my tongue unless I'm asked, and even then I try to not come off as critical or judgemental.

Omg I know im a Ftm my baby is almost 2 months and on tuesday this lady who has 5 kids wanted to carry my baby I said no I need to go change her diaper she said "like if I didnt have kids" and she was holding her and while she was holding her she was doing more poop so I said im going to take her and change her in the car because there was no where to change her and there was alot of people around and she said no shes doing more change her I said ill take her to the car and change her and she said no change her now or ill change her so she did she took her to this room with people around and showed me how to do it LIKE ARE YOU SERIOUS I WAS SOOO MAD LIKE IF IT WAS MY FIRST TIME CHANGING A DIAPER ! It was really embarrasing for me because people probably thought just because its my first and my young (19) I need help changing my daughters diaper even after 2 months of having her ... And this lady folded the diaper because soppously it was "too big" and it barely covered her butt and it was too tight on her anf she thinks she knows it old she was telling me how to take care of my baby and how to do this and that ... End  of story I left to the car and fixed it ... -___-

Well, as the saying goes 'nobody likes a know it all' =P I think it's a general thing, wait till the baby comes! I think the thing that drove me nuts with my first was the total strangers trying to tell me how to do things 'the right way' and often one opi would be conflicting from another lol

There's people that do way worse while pregnant and it's honestly sad. I know, I hate when people try to tell me what not to eat. Like there's not a lot of food that can seriously harm our babies and most are well know. And even if you ate hot cheetos even once, of course it's not the healthiest choice, but it's not going to harm your baby. You're fine and it's not going to harm your baby. Your baby takes whatever nutrients it can from the food you eat. I hate when people tell me I shouldnt be eating something. As long as your baby is healthy, and u aren't gaining soooo much weight then it shouldn't matter. At least you're not smoking or drinking.
