KnowItAlls

I hate when another female tries to tell me she knows more about being pregnant and everything that goes with having kids and taking care of them. I cant post a status on my Facebook about my pregnancy without her saying something. im just like first of all im older than you. And having been  taking care of kids since I was becoming a teenager. I think I know how to raise a baby. And second of all the girl is like 2-3 Weeks ahead of me. With her first baby too. So what makes her an expert. I said something about my contractions and she is all like you have a UTI. I'm like I never had to deal with that and she like I'm telling you have one especially if your urine is cloudy.. I'm like I know what the symptoms are and I don't have one.
this isn't the first time and I'm sure it wont be the last. Its just so annoying. Her pregnancy is obviously different from mine. she already had some medical issues she is dealing with and its making her pregnancy a lil rough. So its just like stuck in her head tgat me and her are going through the same exact thing.

The best advice I ever gotten was from my pastors wife... "Never listen to a woman with less children then you" especially about children.... Tell her off and to give her head a shake.... She don't know sh*t I'm mean so I would tell her horror stories about delivery its her first so you know she will be sh*tying bricks lol

The same thing happened to me it wasn't until after I told my family that I wanted a boy when they started saying no its a girl, your having a girl because your stomach is shaped like this and your carrying like that and blah blah blah, it was irritating. So when the Sonographer announced it was a boy I couldn't wait to rub it in their face lol. Not EVERYBODY know what they're talking about. Each woman and her body is different even when she's pregnant.

Just like everybody is different. We dont all go through the same exact stuff. someone in this world probably does but never the exact same.

The one that does it to me is the one that EVERYONE compares anyone's pregnancy too. Any pain I may have they always say well so & so had that so you better let someone help you or "I think your in labor" and make me go get checked out and not even dilated. It's happened before lol

I HATE when people tell me what I'm having!!! My hubby and I are really hoping for a boy but everyone keeps feeling the need to tell me I'm having a girl. It gets very annoying and then they get annoyed with me when I respond with "well we want a boy" like I'm some kind of abomination for having a preference.

Lol wine though that's a no go. And my doc told me I could eat lunch meat as long as I cook it before I consume it. The heat kills all the bacteria and stuff.  Im addicted to ham and cheese sandwiches and I hate cold cheese so I heat it up regardless. Just keep doing what you want with your baby and your body.

Fb has it now to where you can hide posts from certain people. Maybe you could do that lol. You can edit the posts privacy and keep her from seeing them.


I know someone like that as well and I'm just like gooooo away lol

I know how you feel! This is our first and everyone we know has kids so anytime I say something or post something I have 10 people jumping down my throat telling me what gender I'm having and how they "just know" and all this other stuff. I am not eating or drinking anything with even a tiny risk of harm to my baby and they all are like "oh you can because I drank wine with mine and yes fine" or "I ate lunch meat everyday and mines fine" and I'm just like that's cool but this isn't your baby and I didn't freaking ask you!

My mother is doing the same thing. She's always assuming I'm unhealthy and that everything I feel is something bad. She told me the kicks was just gas and me being constipated so I just needed to go poop. I realize she's had 5 already and this is my first.. but I believe I know my body better than she does. When I had kidney stones she tried telling me it was just back pain and a uti even when I passed a stone and could see it. It wasn't proof enough for her. I think everyone has one of those in their lives... try telling her to back off or ask her to just not comment.
